Ignore the State, Its Rules, and Its Minions
Chantal K. Saucier
After I wrote
Only Thing Children Really Need Is Freedom, I felt the urge
to flip through my copy of The
ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results,
by Gary Keller And Jay Papasan. If The ONE Thing offers
a sure path to success for people and businesses, I wondered, and
if it works in all areas of our lives and on anything as the authors
contend, does it also represent a sure path for our children to
become successful? And if so, how can we best transmit the lessons
of The ONE Thing to the next generation and what signs of
The ONE Thing, if any, can we find in our schools today?
Could it be that the ONE thing children need is freedom so that
they, too, can enjoy the opportunity to pursue their ONE Thing?
In The ONE
Thing, Keller and Papasan defend that people and businesses
achieve extraordinary results when they go as small as possible,
they focus on ONE Thing, and they find the answer to this question:
“What’s the ONE Thing I can do / such that by doing it / everything
else will be easier or unnecessary?” And then they do that
ONE Thing, the ONE Thing that matters most.
