RAISE YOUR HAND

When we first go to school, we’re taught to raise our hands so that the teacher will “pick” us—and so it begins. For the rest of our lives we want to be picked by a hiring manager, a potential male or female suitor, by friends, and the list goes on. This is the first lesson that teaches us that we aren’t good enough as an individual and that there will always be someone smarter or faster than us; it teaches us that who we are isn’t good enough to fit in the world around us.
