    About this ebook

    This book is about ancient wisdom that have stood the test of time.

    Many young people think that because we now live in a more advanced and a more liberal age than our forefathers, the old proverbs and old adage of the past are no longer relevant. Some of them even think that it is their duty to defy old traditions and old morals, and champion a new way of life of no-restraint and real freedom. They cannot be more wrong.

    In fact, the right thing that we all need to do is not to just do things that are different from how it was done in the old days, but to do the right things, whether they are old or new.

    That is why wisdom from the gentler age of old are as relevant today as they were in the past. That is why we need to take a good look at these old and trusted wisdom and learn from them again.

    This book collects 36 of the most important wisdom from the times of our fathers, mothers, our grandparents and great grandparents. These are nuggets of gold that we inherited from our forefathers. Let us use and treasure these wisdom so as to honour their memory, and to build a better future for all humankind.

    These wisdom include those such as "Live and let live", "Do not do unto others what you do not wish to be done to yourself.", " When you first do not succeed, try, try and try again", "Give and Take", "Learn from the best", "Safeguard your own happiness", "Forgive and forget", and "Know thyself and know others". These are elaborated and analysed for the valuable messages they contain.

    These wisdom are the gems of all humankind. They should forever be our motto and life guide.

      Wisdom From A Gentler Age - Terry Nettle

      Chapter 1. A Liberating Time For Young People

      We all tend to think that we are now living in a more advanced and a more liberal age than our forefathers, and that we can now do the many things that our forefathers cannot do, or will not do, because of the social inhibition and the stifling moral codes in their times. This is especially true of the way young people of today think.

      Many young people think that they need to free themselves from the shackles, chains and prisons of the past, and should now choose to live anyway they like. Many of them even think that it is their duty to defy old traditions and old morals, and champion a new way of life of no-restraint and real freedom.
