They left the known and took a chance on the unknown. Human beings have done this throughout time, haven't they?
If we don't want to be slaves, yes indeed. We need to do this now, to be adventurous, to reject the known like runaway slaves. I'm trying. But my daughters keep wondering if I am a victim of old lady scams!
Thank you for your compliment!
This is really nice.

Wow, @owasco. You could not know how much I relate to this man's experience.
When he says a whole system told him he was dumb...that was me! For whatever reason, I couldn't learn. The decision was unanimous--family and school. I was dumb. In the third grade (he talks about the third grade!) I did a turnaround. Sometime midyear a light went on. I could read. As a matter of fact, I read every book in the classroom. By the end of the year I was at the top of the class and the whole dumb thing was history. But that will always be a part of me. That's what made me a great teacher. There were no dumb kids in my class.
Thank you for the video. I love this man. :)
