One of my goals with my Blog is to share with you things I have come across that I feel helps me to become a better person and I hope that they impact you the same way. It has been said that knowledge is power. They are dead wrong. The constructive use of knowledge is power. To that end we all need to be learning everyday and then use and share that knowledge.
I just watched a short video, about 5 minutes long, which made some excellent points. It does come with a warning for people who are easily offended by poor use of language. Look past that, listen to all of it and let me know what you think. On the same page was reference to another short film, 16 minutes, which I saw months ago. You must watch it! Below is the link to both videos and a summary of the second.
