Seminar Speaking Success and Mankind's Greatest Achievement?
Seminar Speaking Success and Mankind's Greatest Achievement?
Mankind's greatest achievement is not the pyramids of Giza or setting foot on the moon. Our greatest achievement is what allowed us to be able to do those things in the first place - I call it "self-reflective consciousness".
Look into a dog's eyes - it's different than looking into a human being's eyes. When you look into a person's eyes, they know that you know that you're looking at them. We humans have the ability to self-reflect. This amazing ability allows us to reflect on patterns in the past and project into the future with predictions. It's that ability that has allowed us to build great pyramids and fly to the moon.
However, life is full of yin and yang, and there is a darkside to this ability: we can reflect on the past and relive painful memories over and over. We can also live in the present dreading the future. It's self-reflective consciousness that "allows" us to be able to have stage fright and fear of public speaking.
Mankind's greatest achievement is what can completely thwart our seminar success!
See you tomorrow!
