Every time I interview a 40-something woman for 40:20 Vision I ask them what 3 “gifts” would they give a 20-something if they were a “Forty-Godmother”. Here are one woman’s gifts:
1.
A voracious appetite for reading and current events. It’s just another way to expose yourself to new ideas and views as well as being “socially responsible”. When in a social setting it is always good to have three conversation starters — thoughts on the days news stories, a pop culture event or trend.
2.
Never talk about politics unless you really know your side of the point.
3.
At least one person in your life with whom you don’t have to worry what to talk about. The silence and day-to-day events are as exciting as the current events.
