What's the last advice you received?

You might find that much advice today says actually one thing: do nothing.

Leave things as they are.

This makes sense. When you're in an unfamiliar vehicle in strange terrain going 80mph, you might tell the driver to slow down. Societally, we are moving faster than ever.

However, this also shows where we might lack an old value: boldness.

The ability to act decisively.

And there are many ways to be bold, as a 14th century french monk can tell you.
