" THE PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE " BY GO BLANSON

" From the Cradle to the Cubicle, We devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths " - Tom Rath

Hello Tribe, this week's Article title came to me while I was reading the book, " Strengths Finder 2.0 “ by " Tom Rath." In the book Mr. Rath speaks of how most School learning programs are flawed. Why are they flawed you might ask? Well, they are flawed because their aim is more about helping us become " WHO WE ARE NOT," than about helping us become more of " WHO WE ARE !" Additionally, he went on to say," From the cradle to the cubicle, we are pushed to devote more time on our weaknesses than on our strengths." I totally agree with Tom on this point. It's insane to me how our Schools continue to force its " ANTIQUATED " School Curriculum on students. Students are made to endure the School Curriculum, even though it has lost its relevancy. Furthermore, I feel that it is ridiculous for School officials to expect that all kids would excel in such a non-nurturing environment that's found in most Schools. Especially when we already know that " ALL " students are not the same! Each student has their own individual learning style, and each student does not respond the same in all instances. Therefore, I feel that students should be allowed more time to focus on learning more about " WHO THEY ARE." What does it profit a child to gain all A's and not be able to answer the question," WHO AM I ?" ---Dr. Phil once said," Most people can't tell you who they are, because they don't know who they are!" Wow, most people don't know who they are ! What's even sadder is when people spend their entire lives living someone else's life. All because they wanted to please their parents or because of peer pressure. No matter what the reason, they end up sacrificing who they could of been. Just think about what they could of have accomplished being who they were meant to be, instead of being what other people wanted them to be? Too often people are told to go after the money. To choose a job because it pays a certain amount of money[ then they find our later that no amount of money can take the place of " FULFILLMENT " ].So many people have gotten " GOOD JOBS WITH BENEFITS " that didn't fit their personality{ IDENTITY }. so they became miserable and ended up resenting their jobs. All because they didn't know " WHO THEY WERE !" In closing, I would like to beseech everyone to be sure of “ WHO YOU ARE.” Otherwise, YOU are probably going to live someone else's life, Instead of YOUR own.PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson FREE SAMPLE of The book, " The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson : Please Copy and Paste this Link > http://johndavidmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Sample-Slight-Edge.pdf
