When you have no idea what are the difficulties you are going to face in your life.

everything is being tested from a very different angle 😄

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 Childhood is a treasure trove of life's most cherished moments, where innocence intertwines with discovery, shaping the foundation of who we become. In this lesson of youth, four guiding points emerge: 👉𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱: Childhood ignites a boundless curiosity, where every moment is an opportunity to explore, question, and understand the world around us. From the simplest of joys to the mysteries of the universe, curiosity fuels our journey of discovery. 👉𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗮𝗿𝘀: In the playground of childhood, imagination knows no bounds. From creating fantastical worlds to embarking on epic adventures, the power of imagination nurtures creativity, innovation, and the ability to dream beyond limits. 👉𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀: Childhood is woven with the threads of friendship, where laughter echoes, secrets are shared, and bonds are forged that withstand the test of time. Through playdates, shared experiences, and moments of camaraderie, friendships become the pillars of support and companionship. 👉𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱: Amidst the innocence and wonder, childhood also serves as a classroom of life lessons. From triumphs to setbacks, each experience teaches resilience, empathy, and the importance of perseverance, laying the groundwork for navigating the complexities of adulthood.

🚨 This week it was #SocialMobilityDay. 🌅 Social Mobility Day and The Social Mobility Foundation, where I am a board trustee, promote awareness for young adults to access career opportunities that they might not have been, or felt eligible for. 📚Whilst neither of my parents went to university, I was lucky that they were able to put me in a fantastic environment to access higher education, giving me a strong start in my career. 🏡 The Foundation led by the brilliant Sarah Atkinson, are working on a programme of change at 3 levels: 1. At the grass roots level, running a programme for young adults to get mentoring and coaching to be able to prepare for opportunities in higher education. 2. Working with businesses and providing an "Index" to rate their ability to support social mobility, not just finding talent from the same well trodden paths. 3. Lobbying government and driving change at a policy level, with Sarah herself often front and centre. 💡 If you knew nothing about any of the above, check out the website, and have a think about whether you're seeking talent from all available sources. 👌 You might be missing your next best hire!

A short story about the power of curiosity.

Welcome to 1001 Lives! We’re an organization run entirely by high schoolers that explores life’s deeper questions through interviewing people from all backgrounds, writing their stories into articles to share them with everyone. We hope our posts can positively impact our audience and reveal the multi-faceted nature of life, showing that there’s no one “correct way” to live through all the vastly differing life stories we collect. What we wish to achieve:  A high schooler’s life is busy–that’s something we understand, as we are also students ourselves. However, as an unfortunate result, many students don’t bother reflecting on life–many deep questions about living aren’t just unanswered, but aren’t even thought about. What’s truly worthwhile to a person after they graduate and head into life beyond high school? Is success really worth everything? How does one find fulfillment while trying to handle an intense workload? Through interviewing many different adults who have gone through these struggles themselves, ranging from pastors to casino dealers to even illegal immigrants, we hope to help high schoolers realize there may be more to life than just studying, and start thinking about these questions for themselves. Our philosophy: Our philosophy is that everyone has a story worth sharing. Regardless of age, everyone has experiences they wish to share regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other factors. And through us, those stories will be shared. Everyone is different and we believe that's a good thing; after all, the difference in peoples' stories is the entire reason our organization exists. We hope that if our goal intrigues you, that you'll check our site (the place where a majority of our content is held) out and join us for the ride. Let our journey of a thousand miles start here.

Hi, I'm Marcy Young, the Children's Programs and Licensing Director at West Midland Family Center. Today, I'm excited to share Life Hack #12: Assume Positive Intent. In our children's programming, we use a social-emotional curriculum called Conscious Discipline, where positive intent is a key skill. We even have kids wear rose-colored heart-shaped sunglasses to teach them to view others' actions and words positively. As adults, this concept requires practice. It starts with believing that others act with good intentions, even if their actions suggest otherwise. Assuming positive intent is about believing in someone's motives. This approach can improve workplace dynamics by promoting trust, better communication, collaboration, and stronger relationships. It can fundamentally change how we see others and our overall belief in humanity for the better. For those wanting to try this life hack, next time you feel slighted by someone, pause and explore the possibilities. Instead of immediately judging their intent, remind yourself that you don't know their reasons. Ask yourself, "What are the possible reasons they responded this way?" Reframing your thinking in this positive way will come with practice. https://lnkd.in/gYTTsFfW 🧡💚 #midlandareawellbeing

Getting laid off from my job turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Five years ago, I was devastated when my employer sent me packing. Job hunting was never my strong suit, so I felt lost and discouraged. But I saw this as an opportunity to pursue my passion for social causes. That's when I decided to start Smart Kidz Palace, a mission that aims at improving early childhood education in Ghana and contributing to SDG 4. Despite the initial setback, I now feel fulfilled knowing that I am making a positive impact in my community/Ghana. Today, I can confidently say that, in our little ways, we are providing solutions to the below factors that impede quality early childhood education in Ghana 1. One major issue is the public prejudice against the importance of early childhood learning (Many people fail to recognize the critical role that early education plays in a child's development and future success.) 2. Lack of parental involvement and commitment (Quality parent-child learning time) 3. Lack of play-based learning resources at home or parental knowledge to engage their toddlers in meaningful learning activities 4. Inadequate teaching and learning materials in some preschools can also affect learning outcomes. I specially dedicate this video to all young parents.
