Experience is, indeed, the best teacher. And, it takes an even better teacher to impart its lessons to others.
But, being the teacher that I am, try I must. Speaking to school students about the lessons I have learned is but one of those tries.
I spoke at Little Angels School in Kathmandu in early November. Keen to continue with that, during my recent two-week visit to Hong Kong, I spoke at four different international schools giving a total of seven presentations. You can find the video of the presentation at International College Hong Kong here.
Creative Secondary School was another one of those four schools.
As at International College Hong Kong, I spoke about how and why I achieved academic, personal and professional success in spite of the circumstances and context of my birth, and in the process how I learned a great deal about our world, the people of the world, life and my own self.
I also go into the details of what I believe in, what I am doing and why I do them, and round it off by describing what I hope children like them do with their lives.
Enjoy and do share below what you believe in!
