Being born in '31 was during the Depression and in my earlier youth World War II took place - so it was not the best of times, and yet I don't recall ever having experiences that were a burden.
Paul SmithGreat stories happen all around you every day. At the time theyโre happening, you donโt think of them as stories. You probably donโt think about them at all. You experience them. You enjoy them. You learn from them. Youโre inspired by them. They only become stories if someone is wise enough to share them. Thatโs when a story is born.
