I wish I had thought of this when I was young. Don't get me wrong, I am happily retired and enjoying it but a little better planning on my part would've led to a little more traveling and leeway during this wonderful thing called retirement. So, plan, plan, plan and even more importantly, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
