How does this post only have 5 likes and no comments? The most important thing we do is lead and inspire the next generation. THE MOST IMPORTANT, PEOPLE! Are you listening? If you are over the age of 40, that is your most important job in life. Or at least according to all the known scientific data in Anthropology, Biology, and Behavioral Psychology. I came from a poor agricultural community and the most important keys to future success were 1. Interaction from intelligent adults, 2) Reading autobiographies of successful people and fictional stories of successful adolescents 3) The freedom to explore and make mistakes. That's it. That's all it takes.
The freedom to explore, make mistakes and "fail"... huge!! We have to break that "what if I fail" mentality. The entrepreneurs and innovators I know who have been the most successful never let "failure" cross their mind. Something might not work, but that's not failure. And they know that they will be ok.
I worked almost twenty years in higher education and it was sad to see the majors becoming so packed with requirements that students didn't have room to take courses to simply explore.
Heck, starting a Substack was me exploring... and still is.
