You might me wondering what am I talking about. Everyday we hear – world has moved forward and time has changed a lot. Old rules does not apply anymore.
Then why we still emphasize on Experience, Lesson Learnt and other related topics. It’s been said that smart people learn from their mistakes but wise people learn from other’s mistakes. But wiser people excel on other positive experience. Also, in the corporate talks, story telling is identified as best way to communicate and motivate.
Question is – Where to find these stories- Where is the knowledge bank?
We can find many knowledge ATMs around us. Just by asking open ended question we can extract many valuable information from our best wishers using why, where, how and when questions.
Question remains the same – Where is the Bank – The knowledge bank?
The best collection of knowledge is neither in books nor in schools it’s in old age homes and orphanages. Surprised? But its true. We always appreciate our parents as our mentors and guides. We have many parents in old age homes. These place treasures the wealth of knowledge and experience. Many stories of fairy tales, black magic, truth of hard life, secret of success etc are dying there everyday. In orphanage you can listen the dreams of tomorrow, innovative imaginations of future, appreciate the value of feelings. These places are knowledge bank in real sense. Do we have time to visit these treasures. Social entrepreneurs should give some thought toward this.
Some of you may ask – show me the money? Here it is. You can write books, magazines, kids stories and transform to animation. You can write a story each day just by spending few hours. Language is not a barrier. Let the imagination and dream fly.
If you do not believe me – Bring the orphanage close to old age home and feel the spark.
