This path will expose them to the knowledge and skills required to, ultimately, allow them to enter the workforce ready for success having been driven by their passion the entire time. <br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>*more brain dump<\/strong>*<br \/>\n<br \/>\nInnovation, truly thinking outside the box, comes from passion. Imagine a society where everyone has been driven, from the very beginning of their education, by passion. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis would unlock immense innovation. Today, innovation seems to happen in the rare occasion of individuals who have followed their passion from the beginning. Their entire being seems to be engrossed in their passion and all they can think about is pushing the limits. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nNow imagine a world where everyone has this...<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhere a welder, who followed the path to that profession, uncovers great advances in the field (reducing time, money and lowering the environmental impacts) because of their passion for the craft. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhere a baker, who followed their passion to that profession, discovers new ways to produce mass quantities of nutritous food for individuals in third world countries. This discovery was possible because they were passionate about this subject. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe power in this, is that everyone has a passion. We are here to help them discover what that passion is. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nExamples:<br \/>\nWarren Buffet - read every investment book at his local library by the time he was 12 (on his own) and now #3 on Forbes wealthiest individuals <br \/>\nMark Zuckerberg - left Harvard to pursue his passion and now #52 on Forbes...<br \/>\n<br \/>\nEducating the masses...<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis model allows for children in remote, third world countries to uncover subjects they may never have been exposed to. Bio-engineering, aerodynamics, telecommunications, management, medicine, etc,. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe intellectual potential that has yet to be scratched because of the lack of exposure is immense. Who knows what a young person who has been affected by malnourishment or disease will do with passion to change those tragedies when they are exposed to the possibilities.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
