We love our readers’ contributions of lessons for living.  To say thanks, we’re sponsoring a contest to find out what older people can teach the younger generation.  To enter, click on the “Share Your Lessons to Win” button.

No matter what your age, you’ll have a chance to win! The grand prize winners will receive a $100 Amazon.com gift card and a copy of 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans.

There are two ways to enter:

• For older people, share the most important life lesson you’d like to pass along to the younger generation.
• For our younger readers, tells us something important or useful that you’ve learned from an elder in your life.

Please share your lesson in 100-200 words in the comment box below. Be sure to enter your name, age and e-mail address as well. The contest will be open through Sunday, December 4.

The team at The Legacy Project will read through the entries and selected a grand prize winner in each category. Two runners-up in each category will receive a copy of 30 Lessons for Living.

Need ideas? You can read other people’s lessons on the Share Lessons to Win page.
