Bigger on the Inside

The nature of most people is to settle in a place where they feel safe, where they feel that they can mount a defense, and protect what they have.  It makes sense.  You’re cashing in on all of your effort thus far and building slowly.

But there’s another side.  There are those who find a fight.  Those that muster an animal deep inside and thrive in the places between the comfortable folks: chaos, anarchy, untamed wilds of uncertainty.

These rebels among the civility find the fight within and then move to stir a fight within others.  Of course some look to fight people, ideals, organization, etc but there are those that want a fight for the success of others.

These are the true heros of the world.  These are the teachers, parents, and leaders we respect.  These are they who put others ahead of themselves and are satisfied for just being in a fight.

All of this can be summarized simply. Perhaps the most valuable of all education is the ability to do the thing you ought to do when you ought to do whether you like it or not.
