- The 40% Rule: Many people believe they have reached their limit when they have only tapped into 40% of their actual capacity; the remaining 60% remains dormant because of self-imposed mental barriers - Price Pritchett one of my favorite personal development gurus teaches YOU 2 ( YOUSQUARED) and The Quantum Leap. - I have studied with him for years - Do you have a book or mentor that makes you do things to push your potential to places you never dreamed of being?

Cash is one of the most dynamic and enigmatic young men I have had the pleasure to meet. His talents are so numerous that you can easily compare him to a modern day RENAISSANCE MAN. First, he is one of those rare young men who actually knows the trades. He renovated, refurbished and restored the SKOOL BUS and WOW . Be sure to see his article ( link below). He knows how to WELD. THEN.. he started his very own SKOOL community that you collectors ( or hoarders) of cards ..can become members and learn his techniques. Ranging from … Pokeman to so many others there is no way I can begin to name them. What’s important to know is he will teach you his hands on process of caring, cleaning preserving each one. Tell me that his community of this specific card collection care is exactly what you needed. This modern day young man can move from welding to refurbishing a SKOOL bus to delicately cleaning and restoring collectors cards. Amazing.

Sometimes, all a person needs is a little helo at the right moment.

World Elephant Day was this week, and it prompted me to think about the difference between watching elephants and helping them. Chris - Hands Up Holidays [email protected] For the families I work with, an elephant encounter is meant to be more than something you watch from a jeep window. It is a chance to understand the pressures elephants face, and to take part in work that supports them. Asian elephants are endangered, with fewer than 50,000 remaining in the wild across their entire range. The biggest threat is not poaching but space. Roughly 70% of Asian elephants now live outside formally protected areas, so the forest paths their herds have followed for generations increasingly run through farms, roads and villages. That squeeze looks different in every country. So does the way a family can genuinely help. you can help at an elephant park where no riding takes place. Many of the elephants spent decades in logging camps or the trekking trade before arriving, and are re-learning what it means simply to be elephants again. You can help prepare their meals, walk alongside them through the forest, and watch them socialise and bathe in the river. It is unhurried, observational work rather than a photo opportunity, and that is exactly the point. I have written more about what giving back can actually look like for families travelling in Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and Namibia (going live soon!). Read the full piece here. ELEPHANTS LIVING A LIFE WITHOUT PAIN.

Living in the Conversational Age Every age leaves its mark on humanity.The Agricultural Age taught us to cultivate the land. The Industrial Age transformed the way we worked. The Information Age connected us to knowledge on a scale never before imagined. Now we find ourselves entering something different. Not an age defined primarily by machines. Not an age defined by information. An age increasingly defined by conversation. That may sound like an unusual claim. After all, conversation is one of humanity's oldest abilities. Long before there were books, there were stories. Long before there were universities, there were teachers speaking with students. Long before there were search engines, there were questions shared around family tables, workshops, marketplaces, and campfires. Conversation has always been how human beings explored ideas together. What has changed is not the conversation itself. It is who, or perhaps more accurately, what can now participate in it. For the first time in history, ordinary people can sit down with an intelligent system capable of discussing ideas, organizing information, exploring possibilities, and refining thoughts through an ongoing dialogue. That is extraordinary. Yet the technology itself is only half the story. The other half is us. Throughout this series we have explored a simple idea. The future does not belong to those who memorize the most impressive prompts. It belongs to those who learn to think more clearly through conversation. Conversation encourages curiosity. Context builds understanding. Continuity preserves momentum. Collaboration expands perspective. Judgment provides wisdom. Together, they create something greater than information alone. They create understanding. Perhaps that is the true purpose of the Conversational Age. Not producing more answers. Producing better thinkers. Some people worry that artificial intelligence will eventually make human beings less important. I see a different possibility. The more capable our tools become, the more valuable distinctly human qualities become. Kindness. Integrity. Imagination. Discernment. Humility. Compassion. Purpose. These qualities cannot be automated. They cannot be downloaded. They cannot be generated from statistical patterns.
