Instructions to a son leaving for college...suitable for all other ages. A bucket list for life. ( )

H. Jackson Brown, Jr. originally wrote Life's Little Instruction Book™ as a gift for his son who was leaving home to begin his freshman year in college. Brown says, "I read years ago that it was not the responsibility of parents to pave the road for their children but to provide a road map, and I wanted to provide him with what I had learned about living a happy and rewarding life." Life's Little Instruction Book™ is a guidebook that gently points the way to happiness and fulfillment. The observations are direct, simple, and as practical as an umbrella.

"But it's not just for young people," says Brown. "Most of us already know how to live a successful and purposeful life. We know we should be more understanding and thoughtful, more responsible, courageous and appreciative. It's just that we sometimes need reminding." Life's Little Instruction Book™ is that reminder, as well as the perfect gift for a relative or a friend who needs encouragement at any time of the year.(Amazon)

Son, how can I help you see?
May I give you my shoulders to stand on?
Now you see farther than me,
Now you see for both of us,
Won't you tell me what you see?

For Adam, my son
and in many ways my teacher.

Book description
This book began as a gift to my son Adam. AS he packed his stereo, typewriter, blue blazer; and other necessities for his new life as a college freshman, I retreated to the family room to jot down a few observations and words of counsel I thought he might find useful.
