Today was the second & last day of the mens' sessions. Us older ones joined in for one of their sessions--absolutely inspirational!!! (Thus an inspirational speaker). ;D The speaker was Simon Sinek, author of 'Start with Why'.
Basically, he spoke about why leaders should start with why, instead of how or what, for their businesses, when they give speeches, etc. Did you know that the 'why' part of our brains (the innermost part) isn't the part with language (the how & what do have it), therefore, that is why when you ask someone 'why questions' (ie. Why do you love your wife/husband? Why do you do what you do? etc.) they won't be able to give you some specific answer instantly.
Take our first example "Why do you love your wife/husband?", they'll probably say something like: "Because they are smart, pretty, kind, loving, I need them, they complete me, etc." Isn't that interesting?
I'm not sure what his religious views are, & so (as with everything), please take his books with a grain of salt, & the Bible.
The older men went golfing (Uncle Ron, Nichol, Papa, & Daniel) with LPL, while all the rest of us went into Kona & had fun shopping at the outdoor mall. If any of you ever come to Kona, you NEED to shop there!!!! The prices are good, the shopping is fantastic, & well, you just have to go!!! LOL
