 Story of MUHAMMAD YUNUS AND GRAMEEN BANK  THE PAIN-THE PROBLEM-THE SOLUTION  THE PROBLEM: THE THING MINDSET OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGE, THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF CODEPENDENCY  SOLUTION: THE POWER OF A PARADIGM

 MIND (use me creatively)  SPIRIT (in serving human needs in principled ways)  HEART(treat me kindly)  BODY(pay me fairly) To Learn, To leave a Legacy, To Love, To Live  PEOPLE HAVE CHOICES

 Find your VOICE (2 Roads in life)..Soul’s Search for meaning in life  Inspire others to find their Voice Teach and share as you go…integrate what you learn into your life

 The Freedom To Choose(Gap between Stimulus &Response)  Natural Laws or Principles  The four Intelligences/Capacities of our Nature MENTAL IQ,PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE(PQ),EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE,SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE(SQ)

 VISION Seeing a future state with mind’s eye, applied imagination, vision is future, it is infinite…  DISCIPLINE The sacrifice entailed in doing whatever it takes to realize that vision..defines reality  PASSION Enthusiasm, emotional connection, courage “Know yourself, control yourself, give yourself”

 CONSCIENCE: Moral law within…voice of God to his children..Innate sense of fairness, justice, right, wrong….Focuses on GREATER GOOD…it empowers you..it is sacrifice..teaches that ENDS AND MEANS ARE INSEPARABLE…it transforms passion into compassion  It gives peace of mind  Conscience often provides why, vision identifies what to accomplish, discipline tells how and passion shows the strength of feelings behind all

 Highest way to bring to balance to life is family  “ No other success can compensate for failure in the home”  “In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant…They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and say hello”

 ENGAGE IN WORK THAT TAPS YOUR TALENT AND FUELS YOUR PASSION- THAT RISES OUT OF GREAT NEED IN THE WORLD THAT YOU FEEL DRAWN BY CONSCIENCE TO MEET- THERIN LIES YOUR VOICE,YOUR CALLING YOUR SOUL’S CODE

When you think there’s a problem, there’s a problem.
