Wisdom from everywhere

The Stories

Wisdom lives everywhere: in a grandfather's wallet, a coach's pep talk, a note from a stranger on the train. Share the words that kept you going, so they can help someone else keep going too.

Share your wisdom

The Wisdom Ripple has already passed 29 cards hand to hand across Boston. Your story could be the next one someone needs.

Your story

What wisdom kept you going?

Something you carried, something you gave, or something a stranger handed you. Write it the way you would tell a friend. You might be the hero of someone else's story and never know it.
