Lessons to Learn

I’ve been watching the debacle of the two former senior royals. What lessons learned could have helped them be successful?

 I can think of several. No matter where you are in a sibling lineup, figure out what you are good at and hone those qualities, with the goal of leaving the planet a better place than you found it. Jealousy and envy are fast growing malignancies—for you. Never lie or be unkind to others. Every action has consequences, and you tend to get back what you give out—reap what you sow. Who you choose to hang out with is critically important. Just as water seeks its own level, so you tend to descend to their level of decency, if it is lower than yours. One bad apple can ruin the bushel. Within three years you tend to adopt the characteristics of those you spend the most time with. You can never change another individual—you can change yourself.
