This document discusses how Irish culture has influenced the world through traits like storytelling, empathy, play, and embracing multiple perspectives. It argues that the Irish mind remained free from rigid Greco-Roman logic and that Irish culture values hospitality, conversation, music, dance and bringing people together through storytelling and poetry. Qualities like passion, curiosity and understanding other viewpoints will determine success in the future more than IQ alone.
