I don't know who the exact author is, I have googled it and cannot find who the quote was originated from... However the quote is this:
"An anthropologist proposed a game to African tribe kids. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told them that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?
UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means: “I am because we are”.
When I saw this, picture and quote, I wrote this piece on Children and Education called "Imagine"
Imagine if All SCHOOLS taught from the Space of Heart Centered Co-Creational Global Consciousness and Taught and Lived from the Space of ONE.
Everything was taught from a mindset of: Teamwork, Sharing, Giving, Global Unity, Peace and Collaboration, Friendship, and consciousness.
All children were assigned an accountability partner of the opposite sex.
So they would learn how to deal with male and female dynamics energetically, emotionally etc...
So they would learn how to deal with male and female dynamics energetically, emotionally etc...
Imagine if All Children were taught and raised in a Heart Centered Intentional Energetic Space a Village, Community, A large Campus if you will... where the everyday values where: Love, Paying it Forward, Authenticity, Creativity, Co-Creation, Sharing, Collaboration, Teamwork, Compassionate Passionate Communications, Abundance in all areas of their life, out of the box thinking, Teamwork and more...
Imagine the classroom Environment Filled with: Color, Sound Vibratory Music Aromatherapy, Plants, Animals, having all children from Infants to Graduation all on one Campus. A campus that had fruit trees, vegetable gardens, a Mini Farm.
Their was a senior center on site. By having children from Infancy thru seniors on one campus they would learn what the whole cycle of life was about. Children would rotate time in the nursery and preschool area to the senior center so they could actively learn how to care for infants and toddlers, and learn patience and compassion from the elderly.
Their Bodies Nourished with: Alive, Whole, Alkaline, High Vibrational Foods every 3 hours to keep their Minds awake and alert.
Their Minds, Bodies and Spirits Nurtured thru:
Arts, Global Music, Compassionate Passionate Communications, Self Healing Energetics, Eastern and Western- Energetics, Healing, Philosophies, Theologies, and Psychology.
Imagine the course curriculum included:
The Art of Hearing, The Art of Seeing, The Art of Listening, The Art of Feeling,
Sexuality, Sacred relationships, Marriage, Conscious Pregnancies, Conscious Parenting, Conscious Business Collaborations, Love Peace Gratitude, Compassionate Passionate Communications, Entrepreneurship, Creative Financing, Bartering, Organization, Aromatherapy, Energy Healing, Sacred Geometry-Math, Creative writing and story telling, Herbs, Flower Essences, Whole Food Nutrition, Gardening etc...
Their day began with: Body Movement then open sharing, into Creative writing and story telling, followed by Art and Music, Sacred Geometry-Math,
followed by different courses that they got to choose, because it was an interest that they were good at either hobby wise and or business wise etc...
They were taught Conscious Business Collaborations:
What that meant and the values of:
Integrity, Referrals, Sharing, Teamwork, Co-Creating with others….
Learning what the real meaning of Win-Win meant.
Doing what they Love...
Giving because you choice to and for no other reason...
Giving Massive Value...
Customer Service is paramount...
