The Power of One!

I recently watched this TED talk and I was amazed by this young man's courage, creativity, and ingenuity. I decided to dedicate a blog post to this remarkable young man.

Ten Valuable Lessons I learned from Richard Turere.

1.     Even if you are just a young boy, you can negotiate with dangerous lions.

2.    Be very creative and courageous in seeking solutions to difficult problems.

3.    Don't expect lions to change or compromise. You must find a solution that works.

4.    Be curious. Experiment. Keep trying. See what works. Make it work better.

5.    Be patient. Don't ever give up. You never know what will solve the problem.

6.    Be well prepared when you negotiate with lions. They are hungry.

7.    The best solution is often simple, surprising, and incredibly clever.

8.    Be a peacemaker. The best solution protects your cattle and won’t hurt the lions.

9.    Once you find the solution, share it with others who must deal with lions.

10. Dream big dreams. One day you will pilot the plane that flies over your house.

We can learn so much from children. They are full of wonder, endless creativity and imagination.

 They inspire greatness in all of us.
