The unintended consequence of individual achievement is that individuals have forgotten that we stand on the shoulders of generations that understood that we are better together than we are alone. While there s a place for being independent, growing to a level of independence is not the finish line of material success but is the really the beginning of a higher level of success called Significance that can only be reached by uniting together as a community. Community opens up worlds of possibilities for deep, rich, meaningful associations; for geometrically increased productivity; for serving; for contributing; for learning and for growing. 10:15am-11:30am (General Assembly) What If.?
