PROOF WE HAVEN'T LEARNED IT ALL YET

It's natural to assume that everything has been discovered

We expect big breakthroughs in technology but nature? Come on...isn't the focus now on saving what we have?

Species are going extinct! The planet is falling apart! Aren't we now in an era of just trying to preserve what we have…so our grandchildren can see what a buffalo or a panda looks like?

Truth is, we are still in an amazing era of discovery!
It's going on in every field. What's happening is that people are using these incredible new technologies in every field to open up areas of research revealing discoveries like never before.

Take the oceans as an example
They now have new submarines for exploring the oceans, deeper and more thoroughly than ever. They are finding more than the Titanic. One scientist said they haven't found even .1% of just the shipwreck on the oceans floors. He says he's excited about the chance to help move that to 1% in his lifetime. There are amazon discoveries just waiting to be made.

James Cameron just set a record dive in a small submarine…dropping 7 miles down. He took high definition cameras with him and returned with out of this world footage. They now can send robot subs down to incredible depths at temperatures approaching those in winter in the arctic circle. What are they finding? So many new previously undiscovered species that it's almost impossible to catalog.

The same thing is going on in space
New telescopes. New photography. New methods of calibrating temperatures, rotations, orbits. All yielding new breakthroughs! They are even still finding new primitive tribes in remote places like the Amazon who speak new, never-before discovered languages!

The world of information is opening up like never before.

You can get involved
The world needs leaders, explorers and adventurers. We need people who have a vision and energy to go pursue the unknown and to advance the progress of civilization! You can do it where you are now. You can help push things forward, find ways to do things quicker, faster and better

Don't settle for doing things the way they have always been done…improve! Think about what would be a better way. Try new ideas. Don't just hang around…be a part of bringing in the future!

In case you need some more proof…just take a quick look at these newly discovered animals and plants that have been discovered since the year 2000!

Blessed Ignorance of Youth

"If I’d only known..."

Most entrepreneurs say it's a good thing they didn’t know what they were getting into when they started their business—because if they had known what they were getting into they would have never started.

"Why can’t we…?"
Young people are like that. They don’t know what they are getting into. They don’t know mabe they should wait. They don’t think they aren’t ready. They just know they are excited about it and that combined with their energy propels many of them to do amazing things, overcoming all odds!

They Are Doing Amazing Things
It's time for us to recognize the incredible contribution the young make to our lives from business, to science, art, entertainment, as well as even charitable causes.

Let’s Cheer Them On
We would be better served giving them more encouragement when they come up with impossible ideas, because they just may well do it anyway and we might as well be on their sides.

“The young don’t know enough to be prudent, and therefore attempt the impossible—and achieve it, generation after generation." —Pearl S. Buck


When an inexperienced young person comes to you with a new idea about how to do things, what's your first reaction?

If you "walk" when you chase, you never "catch."

Stay on the Attack when pursuing Greatness!

When chasing a big dream—when you’re trying to make a huge breakthrough and it’s taking forever to get there, you’re frustrated. You’re confused. You’re doubting.

Here’s what you’ve got to do: stay on the attack. You cannot afford to back off. Nothing good comes from backing off. Stay on the attack!
 
Why does this work? Success, big discoveries, big breakthroughs are always very elusive, very tough to find, very tough to make happen. Especially the first time. That’s why they’re so rare and precious.

The fact that  you are wildly frustrated is a sign that you have put in massive amounts of time, energy and effort and are closing in on your breakthrough! If you were not close you wouldn’t be expecting the breakthrough and you wouldn’t be so incredibly disappointed that it hadn’t happened yet. 
 
That is a clear sign to you that you’re on the right track and you’re getting closer. You are eliminating the things that are standing between you and success and you’re just about there, so…

Stay on the Attack. You’re almost there!
