.....that is the definition of a Renaissance Man or Woman. I thought that was important because it should speak to those that want to become leaders, that want to get into politics or doctors.....this is what initially drives you before the distractions? Clothes, Money and Fun? One begins by having the strong urge and ideals to want to solve and create a better world! There were so many wonderful points mentioned here. Another one is how is a human defined? One who interacts with OTHER humans in a kind, respectful, responsible and helpful manner. What is success? Here in this culture one idealist felt it was defined by the number of humans YOU have helped, not by the number of toys you owned. If we asked ourselves such questions, if we lived by the answers, this would be a better world. What brings you greater joy, a new car OR helping someone get past his/her health dilemmas. I think back and know that any time I helped someone I know I left my impact or helped that person spring off from a good foundation launching him/her towards more attractive prospects! Doesnt matter how others viewed or tainted it. That was MY gift and it was gooood. That feeling NEVER goes away. This is recommended but you have to listen with the quiet wisdom of your heart.
