People often ask me if they should have a separate social identity for their personal life and professional one. I used to explain it as a blurring of personal and professional worlds. I just realized that it goes deeper than that, because if you really are living your passion, you wouldn’t be asking that question.

What what would happen if schools gave students unstructured time? bit.ly/MeA1yW imagine if it weren't just a day, or just 20% imagine if we trusted learning. we trusted the learner imagine if our lives/how we live... is/was our proof love is all that lasts.. no? no matter what we say/believe/do... we're bankrupt without love let my life be the proof... let love be the proof |
I had tried and tried at school, but I was always better at everything I did outside of class. I have severe ADHD, and being in school really made me hate that about myself, because it’s a weakness in that traditional structure. My head is in a million different places. That’s how I’m built, but in school you’re supposed to focus on only one thing.
There was a definitive moment when I knew school wouldn’t work for me, and once I realized that, I knew I didn’t agree with anyone who was telling me it’s risky to leave school.
I don’t hate college; it just didn’t fit for me. For a while I resented the fact that I was told that it should fit. I resented the idea that if you can’t make college work you’re destined for a much harder life.
collaboration means ‘working together’. That’s why you see it in market economies. markets are based on quantity and mass.cooperation means ’sharing’. That’s why you see it in networks. In networks, the nature of the connection is important; it is not simply about quantity and mass …You and I are in a network – but we do not collaborate (we do not align ourselves to the same goal, subscribe to the same vision statement, etc), we *cooperate*
Nicole Antoinette (@nicoleisbetter)It’s easy to hesitate when the answers might lead to getting hurt or being rejected. But oddly, the more we get hurt and the more we’re rejected, the closer we align ourselves with the right people and opportunities. If someone doesn’t want to be with or invest in you, someone who is more aligned will.
So if you’re in love with someone, tell them. Find out how they feel and either be in love together or move forward to find that right person. ...

This presentation, by public speaker Wai H. Tsang, examines some of the most powerful revolutionary movements of the past Millenium, ranging from the Revolutions in America, France, Turkey and the English Civil War; to the Chinese Taiping and White Lotus Revolutions. And from Marxism and the rise of the Nazi Party to various revolutions that have occurred in Islam. We discover two common factors which keep recurring in all of these political case studies. They are firstly, the so called Apocalypse or Prophetic Archetype (Also found in modern myths such as Star wars, Dune, The Lord of the Rings and the Matrix); secondly we keep discovering the influence of Esoteric Religion and
Mystical Beliefs.
The Talk shows why the incorporation of the Apocalypse Archetype and Esoteric Religion into the above Revolutionary Movements may have been instrumental to their effectiveness and even critical to why some of these revolutions were able to be successful in overthrowing the respective incumbent powers they challenged. The potential relevance of these ideas is discussed in relation to present times. We discover a tried and tested revolutionary template; or recipe for instigating dramatic changes in the social, political and economic realms.
