Unit 3 The Road to Success [00:]Listen and Respond [00:]Follow Your Dream
[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write
[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer. [00:]He loved horses.
[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.
[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.
[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch [00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher. [00:]Two days later he received his paper back. [00:]He got a large red F for his paper. [01:]He went to ask the teacher why.
[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you. [01:]You have no money.
[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.
[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”
[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper again [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.” [01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. [01:]He asked his father what he should do.

[01:]However, I think it is a very important decision for you.” [01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.
[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.” [02:]Now years have passed.
[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true. [02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.

Unit 4 Being Creative [0:]Listen and Respond
[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature [0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.
[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,
[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative
[0:]— Are people really dull [0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative [0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.
[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative — it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.
[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.
[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.
[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child. [1:]You can’t make your child creative. [1:]It simply is creative.
[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative
[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.
[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.
[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to

[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.
