UNDERSTANDING HUMAN POTENTIAL
Society and institutions cause people to forget their unique talents and interests
Rediscovering unique talents
“Work is something you have to be “compensated for, because it robs you of living. Play is something you usually have to pay for, because your play is often someone else’s work”
UNDERSTANDING HUMAN POTENTIAL
“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation. He scarcely knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself he always seems to be doing both”
