This is such a powerful quote for anyone raising children in current times. With an average age of 29 years, India currently has 50% of its population below the age of 25years and over 65% people below the age of 35 years..
This means we have a large numbers of young people just beginning to work combined with a large population of early Parents/ would be Parents.
Learning for earning was a fair adage for the Generations emerging from scarcity, but the current globalised Generations will Only succeed with an abundance mindset which includes a strong belief and orientation of Learning for Learning.
Teaching the Young/Our Children
– The value of going beyond the syllabus literally to become true citizen of the Knowledge era
– That divisiveness and inner coteries restrict our own worldview and access to the immense world of possibilities….
– That Courage is magical and settling and normalising mediocrity is a criminal waste..
-That interpersonal maturity is the biggest strength you can bring to any Group- your Family, colleagues, the Community..
– That the true indicators of a life well spent is the books on your shelf and the memoirs from your travels..
– That hate, revenge, disrespect is the language of the weak and cowardly..
– That kindness and Compassion are limitless
– That NOT using your vast potential and not manifesting good and love before we pass is how
we can make this a wasteful life..
And so so much else from the vast reservoirs of Wisdom, but Most of All by role-modelling this even as we develop these perspectives over the years…
That the i-phone, car and fancy house can be imitated- the rest of YOU cannot be..
