A Young Know - It - All

A Young Know – It – All Dr. Jim Martin I once was young and knew it all. For advice on no one would I call. There was little in life that I feared, In fact, the authorities were often, by me, jeered. As teen years approached this attitude prevailed. It mattered not to have tried and failed. Challenges were met with little concern. I, obviously, had very much to learn. As a young adult to a crossroad I came. I could no longer pursue fortune or fame. Life was not always going to be Only that which I had chosen to see. In turning from my youthful, pride-filled way I heard one smarter than I say, “There is always someone smarter than you, His advice, therefore, you should eagerly pursue.”
