Episode 61 – Daniel Barahona: An Inspiration For Any Age

Summary

Daniel is an incredible 16 year old, wise beyond his years. As a child, he began to feel the desire to help others. He always loved when people told him thank you after helping them with a big smile. However, there was a stage when he began judging others to belong to a group of cool kids, but in doing so, he didn’t feel himself inside. So, he decided to stop doing what made him unhappy and started doing what he felt inside. He left traditional school at the age of 13 with the direction and guidance of his parents to study and travel with his father around the world. Many of his “friends” began to insult him and treat him badly for a while, and although it was hard, he went on. He continued to do what brought him joy every day; helping those who need it. Through his own talents, he helps others to wake up and feel better about themselves.

Episode 57 – Responsibility

Summary

Responsibility in today’s world, even on the smallest level, seems to be lacking in a tremendous way. Technically, if you have never been held accountable or needed to be responsible for your actions because someone always came in and saved the day, then in reality, it is not completely your fault. However, the day is going to come where you will have a very rude awakening for your lack of responsibility, and hopefully by reading this you will understand.

“The evasion of responsibility is the major cause of most people’s frustrations and defeats.” — Ayn Rand

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.” Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” — Fred Rogers
