33. Who will teach bravery?
[From Seth Godin, Stop Stealing Dreams http://www.squidoo.com/stop-stealing-dreams]
The essence of the connection revolution is that it rewards those who connect, stand out, and take what feels like a chance.
Can risk-taking be taught? Of course it can. It gets taught by mentors, by parents, by great music teachers, and by life.
Why isn’t it being taught every day at that place we send our kids to?
Bravery in school is punished, not rewarded. The entire institution is organized around avoiding individual brave acts, and again and again we hear from those who have made a difference, telling us that they became brave despite school, not because of it.
Harvard Business School turns out management consultants in far greater numbers than it develops successful bootstrapping entrepreneurs. Ralph Lauren, David Geffen and Ted Turner all dropped out of college because they felt the real challenges lay elsewhere.
