10 words to inspire a generation.

November 25, 2009 |

I want to create a talky blog/youtube video on this topic: 10 words to inspire a generation.

If you had only ten words (or less) to communicate a message that would inspire and/or transform the next generation of earthlings, what would you say? That’s it - just 10 words!

Leave your answer in the comments. If it gives me goosebumps, I may include it in the youtube video! Blow my socks off!

    My top 6… (not exactly 10)

    1. Fearless 2. Passion 3. Chance 4. Love 5. Kindness 6. Truth.

    In life we let too many of our fears restrain our actions. Fear is an obstacle that we need to overcome.
    We need passion to become who we want to be and passion in our relationships.
    We have to take chances, not settle with what we are handed in life, take chances and make it happen.
    Love in our relationships and our family. It’s the same thing in every country.
    It doesn’t cost anything to be kind. It’s free. Everybody should have a little kindness.
    And truth. To be true to ourselves and the people around us.

    Pay attention — to what you say and what you hear. A conversation is not waiting for your turn to speak. Ask questions. When a friend is in distress ask what he/she wants to happen. Paying attention is about bringing quality to your life in every situation. It’s being alive. Share it.

    Honor…

    “To live content with small means;
    to seek elegance rather than luxury,
    and refinement rather than fashion;
    to be worthy, not respectable,
    and wealthy, not rich;
    to listen to stars and birds,
    babes and sages with open heart;
    to study hard; to think quietly,
    act frankly, talk gently,
    await occasions, hurry never;
    in a word,
    to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
    grow up through the common -
    this is my symphony.

    Anyone can achieve their fullest potential. Who we are may be pre-determined, but who we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears, or the expectations of others, to set the frontiers of our own destiny. Your destiny can not be changed, but can be challenged. Every man is born as many others, but die as only one.
