Dreams, Passion, Competence

Education: Dreams, Passion, Competence
Sea Turtles
Facts:
They dont get to know their parents
They dont go to any church
They dont belong to any club
They dont attend any school
They dont receive any education
Yet . . .
They already know, at birth, how to live their lives
on their own  they dont need any education !
Because . . .
They are totally the product of their inherited genes
Can we do anything
right after we are
born?
Humans
Except, perhaps . . .
Education: Dreams, Passion, Competence
Humans
Facts:
We live a loooooooooooong time with our parents
We normally go to church - every now & then
We normally belong to a club (or more than one)
We attend several schools for a loooooooog time
We receive a lot of education  or should . . .
Yet, it so happens that, very often . . .
Many of us dont know what to do with our life 
Or, worse, in the end, make a mess of it   
Why?
Humans
Our inherited genes do matter, but they are not all
We are also partially the product of:
Our home
Our communities (church, clubs, etc.)
Our schools
Our interactions with our peers
Our interactions with our culture
SO the various components of our environment also
matter
BUT that is not all either . . . There is still a challenge:
How to transform
these two . . .
into
these RICH two
or . . .
Into
these HOLY two
Dreams
We, humans are also the product of our dreams !
Dreams are much more than mere wishes
Dreams are wishes for which we are passionate and
for the actualization of which we are committed
to developing the necessary competencies
Dreams materialize in the choices we make . . .
To become true, dreams must be transformed into
life projects
People in business call dreams vision and a life
project mission
A Life Project
Personal component
Who we want to be as persons, as human beings
Who we want to share our life with
What friends we want to cultivate
Professional Component
What career(s) we choose to embrace
Who we want to associate or partner with
Social Component
What contribution we expect to make
What legacy we hope to leave
Execution
Dreams and life project, vision and mission, will
remain in our mind, or on paper, unless and until
they are executed, transformed into reality
To bring them into reality two more things are
needed
Passion, passionate commitment, motivation
Competence, the ability to act competently
Passionate Commitment
The mind is a wonderful thing: intelligence, high iQ,
reasoning, ratiocination, argument, problem solving,
these are all fantastic things to have
But we can have a brilliant mind and be a failure
The mind, by itself, is unable to motivate and move
us, to keep us going in the face of obstacles and
difficulties  especially in the face of failure
We dont need an emotional intelligence: we need
intelligent emotions: respect for others, cooperation,
solidarity, resilience, patience, persistence, courage
Without them we will not get very far
Competent Action
These are perhaps the components most valued
by the 21st century: skills and competencies
Dreams, vision, life project, intelligent emotions,
etc. are necessary, but not sufficient: they are not
adequate substitutes for competent action
Discover as quickly as you can what sorts of skills
and competencies are required to transform your
dreams into reality, and then go and develop them
as well you possibly can
Final Counsel
Tomorrow, give yourselves two presents:
Get a copy of the movie October Sky, and watch it !
Buy a copy of Steven Coveys best-selling book,
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, read it, and
keep it as reference !
And pray daily, following Reinhold Niebuhrs (and
Ayn Rands) suggestion, for these three things:
Courage to do what needs to be done
Resignation to accept what cannot be done
Wisdom to distinguish one from the other

Humans Our inherited genes do matter, but they are not all We are also partially the product of: Our home Our communities (church, clubs, etc.) Our schools Our interactions with our peers Our interactions with our culture SO the various components of our environment also matter BUT that is not all either . . . There is still a challenge:
  • 8. How to transform these two . . . into these RICH two
  • 9. or . . . Into these HOLY two
  • 10. Dreams We, humans are also the product of our dreams ! Dreams are much more than mere wishes Dreams are wishes for which we are passionate and for the actualization of which we are committed to developing the necessary competencies Dreams materialize in the choices we make . . . To become true, dreams must be transformed into life projects People in business call dreams vision and a life project mission
  • 11. A Life Project Personal component Who we want to be as persons, as human beings Who we want to share our life with What friends we want to cultivate Professional Component What career(s) we choose to embrace Who we want to associate or partner with Social Component What contribution we expect to make What legacy we hope to leave
  • 12. Execution Dreams and life project, vision and mission, will remain in our mind, or on paper, unless and until they are executed, transformed into reality To bring them into reality two more things are needed Passion, passionate commitment, motivation Competence, the ability to act competently
  • 13. Passionate Commitment The mind is a wonderful thing: intelligence, high iQ, reasoning, ratiocination, argument, problem solving, these are all fantastic things to have But we can have a brilliant mind and be a failure The mind, by itself, is unable to motivate and move us, to keep us going in the face of obstacles and difficulties especially in the face of failure We dont need an emotional intelligence: we need intelligent emotions: respect for others, cooperation, solidarity, resilience, patience, persistence, courage Without them we will not get very far
  • 14. Competent Action These are perhaps the components most valued by the 21st century: skills and competencies Dreams, vision, life project, intelligent emotions, etc. are necessary, but not sufficient: they are not adequate substitutes for competent action Discover as quickly as you can what sorts of skills and competencies are required to transform your dreams into reality, and then go and develop them as well you possibly can
  • 15. Final Counsel Tomorrow, give yourselves two presents: Get a copy of the movie October Sky, and watch it ! Buy a copy of Steven Coveys best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, read it, and keep it as reference ! And pray daily, following Reinhold Niebuhrs (and Ayn Rands) suggestion, for these three things: Courage to do what needs to be done Resignation to accept what cannot be done Wisdom to distinguish one from the other
