Good Advice
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the timeless wisdom of Reverend John Newton. This beautifully restored image, part of a private collection, was originally featured in Chatterbox magazine in 1883. The scene depicts two young boys standing amidst a snowy landscape, surrounded by snowballs thrown at them by unseen adversaries. However, what truly captures our attention is the profound message conveyed through this artwork - "Ignore Them". These simple words hold immense power and serve as a reminder for all ages. Reverend John Newton's advice resonates deeply with us today as it did over a century ago. In an era where responding to provocation seems almost instinctive, this engraving urges us to rise above petty conflicts and not engage with negativity. It encourages us to remain steadfast in our values and principles even when faced with adversity. The artist skillfully portrays the determination on the boys' faces as they choose not to respond but instead focus on their own path ahead. The snowy backdrop symbolizes life's challenges that may come our way – just like snowballs – but we have the choice to let them slide or allow them to distract us from our goals. This print serves as a powerful visual reminder that sometimes silence speaks louder than words and ignoring unnecessary distractions can lead us towards personal growth and success. Let "Good Advice" inspire you to stay true to yourself despite external pressures and embrace resilience in your journey through life's ever-changing seasons.
