Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.
— John Wilmot, English Lord

There are too many ‘experts’ around with a lot of answers who have not actually tried their theories in real life situations. I understand that some people are advisors or teachers,consultants.   But I seem to learn more from those teachers and mentors who have had some practical world experience.  Their lessons are more believeable to me, more relevant. Trouble is, some people who have not done much in the ‘real’ world have focused their energies and skill  on their own line of pitter-patter, which all sounds good, really good–but does not help much, if at all. They can sell you a total line of BS.  Most self-help business books fall into this category.
