  12. 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”

  13. 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”

  14. WHAT DOES GENIUS MEAN? • Dictionary definition- “the unique and identifying spirit of a person or place” • Talents that you love to develop and use • Things that you could potentially do with excellence • Getting fulfillment out of your talents

  15. DISCOVERING GENIUS • It may be easy of difficult • Make a list of the things you enjoy doing • What are the contents of your fantasies and daydreams? • What do you wish you were doing? • What does your sleep dreams consists of you?
