Here's a copy of the letter of former President Bush’s advice to young people.
The letter says:
“I cannot single out the one greatest challenge in my life. I have had a lot of challenges and my advice to young people might be as follows:
1. Don’t get down when your life takes a bad turn. Out of adversity comes challenge and often success
2. Don’t blame others for your setbacks
3. When things go well, always give credit to others
4. Don’t talk all the time. Listen to your friends and mentors and learn from them
5. Don’t brag about yourself. Let others point out your virtues, your strong points.
6. Give someone else a hand. When a friend is hurting show that friend you care
7. Nobody likes an overbearing big shot
8. As you succeed, be kind to people. Thank those who help you along the way
9. Don’t be afraid to shed a tear when your heart is broken because a friend is hurting.
10. Say your prayers!!
George Bush”

Linda Thomas, from North Carolina, was the second person. I want to thank Edith Ely and Linda Thomas for their gracious response and excellent work. These two ladies have made it possible for me to share President George Herbert Walker Bush's advice to youth to you my dear readers.]
