What's one lesson you find super compelling?
If you could put a megaphone to the ears of the world for just 5 mintues, what's the one lesson you would teach. It doesn't have to be serious, but it can be. It doesn't have to be about math, science, literature, or history, but it can be. It just needs to capture the minds of your audience.

My answer to that would be taken from my experience with the success coach Anthony Robbins. What I learned from Tony's programs and technology can all be summed up in the concept of "understanding yourself FIRST in life." Translated, that means to me that you must spend time in your life learning what makes you do the things you do and what you really like and dislike. So many of us never spend any of their life learning to interpret our own mindset and abilities/limitations. For so many, they spend their entire life doing what they thought they liked to do and only at the end, reflect back and realize they wasted everything.
When I did this about 15 years ago, I changed my entire life. I stopped living my life in a cubicle as a number cruncher and broke out to later become a business owner in charge of my destiny. It has made me much more happy and wealthier. I has allowed me to achieve so much!
With that said, I wish our educational system would make self analysis and the process of "learning about ourselves" a fundamental part of our formal education. If we did this, imagine how many scientists might become artists, artists might become scientists, dreamers might become business leaders and so on and so on! I honestly believe it would make the world a much better place for all.

I TOTALLY agree with you and Anthony Robbins...you're in good company...in my humble perception:>)
We have been taught, many times, that taking care of ouselves, giving ourselves time and space, knowing ourselves, etc. is selfish. If we don't take care of ourself and nurture ourself first, we don't honestly have anything to give to others. We cannot give to others, something we do not have in, and for our "self". The more we nurture ourselves, the more energy we have to give to others....and so......the cycle of flow continues:>)
If we incorporated the idea of knowing ourselves into each and every aspect of the human experience....just imagine........I LOVE IT! I agree Mark.....It might make our world a better place for all:>)
