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.
They inspire greatness in all of us.
I just bought this book for my grandchildren and my husband. Maybe I'll even read it!!!!!! Mary Robinson
ReplyDeleteThis was very interesting, a young boy who took responsibility and used his imagination to come up with a solution to the problem. This shows us that we can overcome just about any problem no matter how small or weak we think we are.
ReplyDeleteThis was very interesting, this shows us that we can overcome the problems we face, even if we fail the first 1,000 times.
