Lessons From WWII...


We visited some caves today (yep, it's still the school holidays!). They were used during the Second World War to protect up to 15,000 people EVERY NIGHT from the German bombing. It's amazing to see how resourceful my grandfather's generation were. There was a hospital, a 'hall', separate toilets, and even a 'Citizens Advice Bureau'!

It made me realise how lucky we ALL are. We can live our lives without fear (most of us anyway), we can go where we want, do what we want, even buy what we want thanks to credit. Why then, do we waste so much of it? Here in the UK, our schooling is (practically) free. But if I was asked to find $15 a week to fund my daughter's education - then I would make sure that I found it.

Everything we take for granted was only wishful thinking even only a generation ago. We have more services at our disposal than even our parents would have loved to have growing up - yet, we complain more and more about how unfortunate we are. Don't wait for the 'bombs' to start dropping before you realise that you have the means already to get to wherever you want to go. Don't squander the legacy that you have been given.
