Hal Urban wrote a book entitled “Life’s Greatest Lessons – 20 Things That Matter.” Great book. Great format for a letter to your grandchildren.

He lists things like the truth that life is hard, the importance of being honest with yourself, that we live by choices – not chance and the importance of good habits. With many of these lessons he speaks about his life experiences.

The writing is clear and direct. The chapters are short and to the point. It is a very well written book. It is fun to read and easy to read. But it is also packed with wisdom and worth reading several times.

This is one great format for a letter to your grandchildren. It combines your best wisdom with life stories. It is distilled life experiences.

Just as a quick exercise can you list your top three life lessons that you would want to pass on to your grandchildren? In a week, could you come up with your top ten?
