OUR CHILDREN’S STORY
“Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.”~Buckminster Fuller
“Children are all foreigners.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.”
~Kahlil Gibran
The most efficient and reliable way to bake a cake, fix a car, build a piece of furniture, write a computer program, learn a musical instrument, publish a book, start a business, or do anything else in life is by following prewritten, logical, systematic, empirically tested and proven instructions. This isn‟t profound. It‟s beyond common sense even; it just goes without saying, really.
If it‟s so obvious that you need instructions to succeed at mundane, day to day tasks then it should be all
the more obvious that you need a logical, systematic, empirically valid instructions about life in order to succeed at living. But did your parents give you an instruction book to life when you were born? Most people‟s didn‟t. Most children were pushed out of the nest into a harsh, unforgiving world with little more than a few scattered bits of advice. And by not giving their children a complete, logical, systematic, empirically valid instruction book about life, countless otherwise loving and well intentioned parents have sentenced their children to wander through life unprepared and without a meaningful end goal to work towards.
