Julie explores the wisdom of Greek philosopher Socrates. She delves into three key areas: leadership, personal development, and change, and reflects on Socrates' quote, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle," emphasising the importance of compassion and understanding towards others. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Be kind and compassionate towards others, as everyone is fighting their own battles. We never truly know what someone else is going through, so it's important to approach others with empathy and understanding.

True learning and growth come from within. While others can provide information and insights, it is up to individuals to think critically and apply that knowledge in their own lives. Teaching can only make someone think, but it is their choice to take action and make changes.

Knowledge is a powerful tool that can open doors, reduce biases, and increase wisdom. Investing in personal development and gaining knowledge can unlock hidden potential and empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives.

To build a good reputation, strive to be the person you desire to appear. Your reputation is based on what others say about you when you're not around. By embodying the qualities and values you want to be known for, you can create a positive reputation and attract opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." 

"I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think."

"There is only one good knowledge and one evil ignorance." 

"The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear."
