12:14 pm	@@@@@Needless to say, it held my attention I have @@@@@Needless to say, it held my attention I have been teaching professionally since 1984 It has been a great experience and rewardingIt is also a disturbing profession, for I have taught thousands of individuals and I see one thing in common in all of us, myself includedWe all have tremendous potential, and we all are blessed with giftsYet, the one thing that holds all of us back is some degree of self-doubtIt is not so much the lack of technical information that holds us back, but more the lack of self-confidenceSome are more affected than others Once we leave school, most of us know that it is not as much a matter of college degrees or good grades that countIn the real world outside of academics, something more than just grades is requiredI have heard it called "guts," "chutzpah," "balls," "audacity," "bravado," "cunning," "daring," "tenacity" and "brilliance This factor, whatever it is labeled, ultimately decides one's future much more than school grades Inside each of us is one of these brave, brilliant and daring charactersThere is also the flip side of that character: people who could get down on their knees and beg if necessaryAfter a year in Vietnam, as a Marine Corps pilot, I intimately got to know both of those characters-inside of me One is not better than the other Yet, as a teacher, I recognized that it was excessive fear and self-doubt that were the greatest detractors of personal genius It broke my heart to see students know the answers, yet lack the courage to act on the answerOften in the real world, it's not the smart that get ahead but the bold In my personal experience, your financial genius requires both technical knowledge as well as courageIf fear is too strong, the genius is suppressedIn my classes I strongly urge students to learn to take ?risks, to be bold, to let their genius convert that fear into power and brillianceIt works for some and just terrifies othersI have come to realize that for most people, when it comes to the subject of money, they would rather play it safeI have had to field questions such as: Why take risks?
