Polonius-isms
Posted: December 17, 2014 Filed under: pearls of wisdom | Tags: pearls of wisdom, polonius 14 CommentsWhen I was in seventh grade, Mr Batanian – psychology teacher, athletic director of the school, car salesman, father of a large number of really fine kids, stood up in the auditorium and said: “You kids and all this I don’t know who I am. Well I’ve got news for you. Find out who you are and where you’re going and get there by the time you’re thirty-five.”
I’ve always remembered that advice, though it took me a bit longer, and it might be time once again for some more traveling. But I’ve altered it a bit to:
“Life is a journey, try to find some comfortable shoes by thirty-five.”
Happy travels.

[…] Bill – I know this man for a while now. He tells himself as my honorary dad and I absolutely adore him and his wisdom. His blog (bwthoughts) is all about the best things and experiences with a ‘lesson’. His posts (his thoughts) are not too lengthy and superb!! He and his blog has helped me learn so much about life. Discussions with him are fun. I can’t thank him enough for being such a great influence. I loved his recent post Polonius-isms. […]
Any father would be proud to have you for a daughter, even “honorary” 🙂
I still got some time then.😊 no pressure at all. Good one!😎
🙂 o think you’ll be young and lovely forever ! Hope all is well there
Mr Batanian? I’m in love with him because he kept the name. And I did the “all that” by thirty. After that, it was version 2.0 Director’s Cut 3-D own it now on Blu Ray. Thanks for this.
Glad I’ve still got time!
I will keep that in mind!! Thank you for sharing — you are so awesome!

Great advice.
of course like all free advice, it’s worth what we pay for it 🙂
It took me a bit longer…. but I hated giving up high-heels for sneakers. Okay, I switch around, and haven’t given up much! “LOL”
Some people can even be stunning in their chuck taylors 🙂
Loving the journey!!!
I love this Bill – great advice – both versions! ❤
