Resources for Well at College
At the beginning of 1999, an investigative research project set out to
gather the first-hand life experience of hundreds of highly
accomplished individuals, among whom were leading entrepreneurs,
writers, teachers, film-makers, athletes and soldiers. The project also
visited world-famous companies, art colleges, dance academies, schools
and universities.
younglives.com
wants to offer individual young men and women a tool-kit of good ideas
with which to make the most of life. Rather than everyone having to
re-invent the wheel for themselves, this research hopes to pass around
a little of what seems to work. Younglives.com is inspired by the
spirit of Sir Isaac Newton, who said: "If I have seen further, it is by
standing on the shoulders of giants."
What we offer here is a 'map of life,' showing some possible routes and
some destinations that come highly recommended. Some of these thoughts
will just be a reminder of stuff you already know but occasionally
forget to apply. Some will be a whole new way of looking at things. The
report isn't meant as a set of rules to follow as if 'one size fits
all,' it simply offers you a bird's-eye view that might help you decide
where you want to head and how.
