At them up to class and it gets difficult not
to recrass to go to love I have away, but
reinsestis that you raised.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
You, cause I have to learn some day.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Decide at the type for for occasion if you range
my ladship.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
I'm trying him to stay away from.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
The compromising since you wation, I had.

Speaker 6 (01:01):
Deepens to Blasto missional shit fast and I'm just don't
mother find a woman.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Who save me and the hun go way.

Speaker 6 (01:16):
Every time I got up like I'm feeling like out
the same distr she gets. I cannot shakes feeling. It
ain't this gray dots of birds, all the things paintings.
I mean all wy I'm trying so are.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Not to breaking something to the bay ship. Don'ta birds?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
All that thing is paintings. I mean all way, I'm
trying so are.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Not to waking something to detach serverything inside of mellow
cannot serve by.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
We're out to fought a lot from my sensation shit

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Don't understand.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's the strength up I coulme in and that I

Speaker 7 (02:15):
Cyperstois and usage way frustration, strengthening thoth and toil be ran,
don't we man o?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
You not.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
Know cyperos and osage generation frustration.

And strength and being the photope and to the random
win And I think it's go away.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Every time I love the way I'm handling like I'm for.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
A second try was like, yeah, that she is stealing
and it's great, And I'll tell hers all that things
pain exactly the way I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Someone not to break yourself up to temptation.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Thoughts of hers all.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
If it gets paint inside may go the way I'm trying.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
So I'm not you breaking something out to temptage. Every
time I goes up like I'm.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Panting, like out her safe this true she is.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
I can't not shake its feeling and it's gray day.
All of hers all that if they gets paint inside
mean go away.

Speaker 8 (03:21):
I'm trying.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
So why not you breaking something out to temptation? Shu
talks of hers all, if they gets paint inside me
go away. I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
So why not you breaking.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Something to temptage? What you don't if she finds out
of pagent, what you don't vote is me with your
her time, take your nothing for breaking out somewhere.

You can't talk about what you give a buck?

Speaker 13 (10:09):
I can give about success, same tatt So you give
up to give up my brand. I'm not saying I'm
gonna pretest you give up give about last success, satan,
So last give a buck I can give an I'm
not set up before the last preta holy bud ship

(10:29):
with the compot a wop apart.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
About said the pay the one and the one of
my design the different the ag print a potat.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I don't know what the boss do take.

Also talk to the mom.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Their talk to about also walk to the mom.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
So don't think that.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's not American.

Speaker 11 (12:11):
Emport to aspis.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
That was the port.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Think about the week, but think about.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
That. I can't. Oh yeah, you can give about I

(13:11):
can give.

(13:50):
wear your some time to.

Speaker 9 (14:22):
Music, so thantoizing.

Speaker 15 (14:35):
Down, going back to the buy baby, take the moth.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
So like as.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Ads Acasia.

Speaker 16 (16:02):
Nineteen sodding birthday.

Speaker 17 (16:17):
By thinking, so, I say, Braddy.

Speaker 16 (16:56):
Prancis just finding out the die.

Speaker 14 (17:05):
And the way you want must be rash.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Say that by y y.

Speaker 18 (18:31):
Retesting the waters of intelligence research has provided us with
several ways to identify gifted characteristics in school children who
might be considered for accelerated programs. Yet, as it now stands,
there are no accurate measurement tests that target gifted traits.
Our testing focus has centered on quantifying thinking power and

(18:53):
ranking abilities instead of accenting the psychological characteristics and needs
of the gifted adults from whom society expects so much.
Few adults need to be formally tested with standard intelligence measures.
The goal of testing at the adult level is different
from the usual educational concerns. When adult testing is appropriate,
it is used as a gauge for personal awareness and growth,

(19:14):
rather than to rank or label. Though general research on
gifted adults examine personality traits, and though case studies offer
us a glimpse into real life experiences, we continue to
be without a standard identification tool.

Speaker 19 (19:28):
Most of the newer concepts.

Speaker 18 (19:29):
Of intelligence also lack measurement inventories. As we have heard,
Gardner believes people have multiple intelligences that vary in proportion,
and that the individual's idiosyncratic mix determines how he or
she learns, achieves, and succeeds. Knowing which critical thinking skills, talents,
and abilities comprise our intellect allows us to measure our

(19:52):
personal growth at various stages.

Speaker 19 (19:54):
In our lives.

Speaker 18 (19:56):
Our talents are usually not developed one after the other
in orderly fact. Therefore, we need a broad spectrum understanding
of advanced human development that encompasses a broad scope of intelligence.
This is why ordinary measures of intelligence fall short. In
an effort to define and categorize, they limit and thereby

(20:17):
eliminate the full range of human potential. Critics fought Gardner
for failing to index and measure his theorized multiple intelligences. Nevertheless,
Gardner contends that a battery of tests would be incompatible
with his theory, and as we have heard, he is
sensitive to the biases and limitations of intelligence tests.

Speaker 19 (20:40):
In the course of their careers.

Speaker 18 (20:42):
In the American schools of today, most students take hundreds,
if not thousands, of tests. They develop skill to a
highly calibrated degree in an exercise that will essentially become.

Speaker 19 (20:53):
Useless immediately after their last day in school.

Speaker 18 (20:58):
Gardner's effort to human clarify and expand the meaning of
intelligence is to be applauded, but to conclude that intelligence
assessment is without merit, especially if such assessment tools are
designed with the individual truly in mind is short sighted.

Speaker 19 (21:15):
Gifted adults have.

Speaker 18 (21:17):
Had no frame of reference to tell them the facts
about their intellectual structure or their personal process. Without graphic evidence,
they are unable to clear the murky waters of misinformation
to see what's really there and what isn't. Lacking an
organized framework against which to reevaluate their traits, everyday geniuses

(21:38):
continue to be an easy target or social misidentification. In
the broader view, isn't the person of high ability tested
covertly all the time?

Speaker 19 (21:50):
Everyday?

Speaker 18 (21:50):
Geniuses have learned to judge themselves by means of existing
societal standards of what is normal. This counterfeit appraisal method
is inescapable because it is at first externally imposed and
then internally reinforced. It is a de facto process that
adds up to their being involuntarily tested and graded repeatedly.

(22:15):
Would we benefit from the creation of a research based
personality type profile of unconventional intelligence that could be used as.

Speaker 19 (22:23):
A corrective tool.

Speaker 18 (22:25):
All of us believe the way we think, perceive, feel,
and react is not so different from anyone else's, certainly
not different or special enough to require a wholly new
method of classification. Putting the inner life and behavioral traits
of the gifted into words permits us to say, Hey,
that's just like me, which in turn raises the aunts

(22:48):
of winning at the happiness and success game instead of
settling for mindless conformity. When individual evaluation is done for
the purposes of truth and liberation, the ends really do
justify the means. Testing does not need to be about
labeling or done for the purpose of comparing and establishing

(23:09):
a pecking order. The objective here is simpler, more helpful,
and aimed at the liberation of individual promise. A procedure
that could free up the powers of high potential must
begin somewhere. It's a bird in the hand issue for
a research based assessment tool that exists now can enhance

(23:30):
the lives of the misinformed gifted, who have already waited
far too long to understand and accept themselves. The emancipation
of individual gifts is the driving force behind the assessment
instrument presented in this book. It is a tool that
aims to provide the listener with a quick and concise
method of reassessing characteristics and special abilities. It begins with

(23:55):
a version of educator Kristin Nicholson Nelson's adaptation of Guardner's
theory of multiple intelligences. This is followed by a detailed
road map of gifted traits based on scientific research. These
are the inner secrets of the gifted personality and mind.
They are far more revealing and useful criteria for any

(24:16):
individual of high potential than conventional test items. Each of
the categories represents a distinct and undeniable component of giftedness
and is directly linked to personal experience and thought patterns.
As a general rule, everyday geniuses have always known they
were smart, probably smarter than average.

Speaker 19 (24:38):
That is not the problem.

Speaker 18 (24:40):
The problem is believing it's true, understanding the real nature
of giftedness, and adopting specific strategies to withstand the pressures
and obstacles that usually accompany achievement and excellence. No ordinary
tests for or intelligence profile can provide this kind of insight.

(25:01):
Another step in evaluating every day genius is required, one
that takes intelligence beyond simply being exceptionally able and introduces
a dimension decidedly different from any found in either traditional
assessments or the magazine surveys that focus on gratification of
self rather than living a meaningful life. Gifted people cannot

(25:24):
escape a sense of calling a mandate to put their
abilities to the test of time and constructive purpose. This
is the true legacy of giftedness, the sense of responsibility
to lead something valuable behind. We may have an understanding
of how our particular combination of multiple intelligence and gifted

(25:44):
traits functions, but with just those two elements, we still
have an unstable foundation on which to build. Talent and
high intellect are only two of the three building blocks
that form the cornerstone for a new model of humanising intelligence.
The next step in the evolution of human intelligence relies

(26:05):
on our advanced development, the third element that acts as
a keystone to lock together the foundational elements on which
evolutionary intelligence lies. Advanced developments, signature characteristics of humanistic vision,
mandated mission, and revolutionary action work in concert with our

(26:25):
multiple intelligences and gifted traits as the cornerstone of this
unconventional breakthrough intelligence. By adding the evolutionary aspect to current
concepts of intelligence, we further define a new horizon for
the every day geniuses, who are especially equipped to respond
to the call of a twenty first century renaissance. When

(26:48):
the spiral of evolution is added to the ability formula.
People of high potential are able to stand away from
feelings of guilt, selfishness, grandiosity, and inhibition. They learn to
support themselves and what they believe about what they can
accomplish gradually shifts from possibly to probably and later to

(27:09):
naturally as they learn that special gifts are not about
being superior. Rather, they are charged with a duty to
develop their talents in ways that contribute to collective evolution.
Evolutionary intelligence accuses extraordinary abilities with three elements of advanced development,
humanistic vision, mandate admission, and revolutionary action, which re envisions

(27:35):
what it means to be.

Speaker 19 (27:36):
Bright and capable.

Speaker 18 (27:38):
Intelligence cannot loiter about in me, myself and I ventures,
or be set aside as the responsibility of others. The
everyday genius's gifts of intellect and talent are never given
purely for ease and self gratification. They are given with
both a price tag and a price. Rather than worry

(27:59):
so much about the quantity of our intelligence, might it
not be more practical in our discussion of ability if
we concern ourselves with the quality and dynamism of certain
combinations of high potential what if we were able to
identify a human potential that combines traditional intelligence measures such

(28:20):
as verbal or mathematical adeptness, with a conceptual leap into
the realm of destiny. This new interpretation of intelligence would
not limit the individual or antagonize others. Within this comprehensive
understanding of human gifts and potential resides an atmosphere of
boundless creative possibility. This kind of intelligence has an innate

(28:44):
respect and desire for diversity that prevents the suppression of ability.

Speaker 19 (28:49):
In response to the pressure to conform.

Speaker 18 (28:52):
Achievement at the expense of others, would recede in favor
of larger humanistic effort self realization at a company, making
a valuable difference for many an everyday genius. Recognizing this
comprehensive form of intelligence would mean no more selling out,
no requisite isolation, no overwhelming loneliness, and no more self loathing.

(29:18):
Evolutionary intelligence EVI, as an integrated form of intelligence, is
brimming with possibilities for the full expression of individuality. It
is a vastly potent and exciting concept because within its framework,
exceptional ability is united with universal principles destiny and the

(29:39):
cycle of evolution.

Speaker 19 (29:40):
Itself.

Speaker 18 (29:41):
EBI takes human potential to new heights because it is
inclusive and committed to real life application. EVII does not
underscore mathematical prowess at the expense of artistic expression or
become fixated on comparative degrees of ability. Rather, it weds
natural abilities with contribution by providing a concept that can

(30:03):
be used to greatly expand the power of the individual
within society.

Speaker 19 (30:10):
What's evolution got to do with it?

Speaker 18 (30:14):
Those of us who are not neuroscientists or professors of
anthropology may challenge, what does evolution have to do with intelligence?
Evolution often brings forth images of a strange half fish,
half animal, poking its nose through the murky green of
the primordial swamp as it dares to take that first

(30:34):
step into an airy life. We envision our genetic predecessors
who climbed down from the trees, stood partially erect and
grew bigger brains while their knuckles stopped scraping the ground.
Evolutionary theory derives from the belief that common ancestral forms
of life that transformed over time, a branching out process

(30:56):
called speciation that resulted in the millions of wars organisms
that inhabit today's world. Such evolutionary changes rarely occurs with me.
Most take place over millennia, progressing at a slow but
consistent rate. Natural selection, the result of competition for resources
and adaptation to environmental conditions, is believed to be the

(31:19):
major cause of such changes. It has to do with
competition for resources and adaptation to environmental conditions. Scientists believe
the best adapted survive to pass their genes down to
future generations. Thus the process has been called survival of
the fittest. Another reason for species change is mutation, which

(31:43):
is a chance or random variation.

Speaker 19 (31:45):
In certain individuals.

Speaker 18 (31:47):
These mutations could be considered zenogenic offspring markedly different from
either of their penets. Everyday geniuses live a zenogenic life.
Without these odd ducts, the gene pool would grow stagnant
and progress would eventually cease, perhaps even threatening human survival.

(32:08):
Natural selection reacts to mutation. It either promotes it or
eliminates it to support continued growth of the population. Mutations
occur regularly, though sporadically, producing both favorable characteristics of plant
developing long roots in an arid climate or disadvantageous ones

(32:30):
human hemophilia. While Studying the evening primrose, Dutch botanist Hugo
Difries discovered that variations caused by mutation can appear abruptly
and become inheritable. Individuals of any species displaying the effect
of genetic mutation may be poised to take advantage of
changes in the environment.

Speaker 19 (32:52):
From this vantage point, one could.

Speaker 18 (32:54):
Argue that leaps of progress are nothing more than practical accidents,
mutations that just happen to have a good outcome in
a given environment. Correspondingly, exceptional human ability would be judged
as equally coincidental. People with unusual capacities, those who are
ahead of their time are mutants in some sense of

(33:15):
the word. Following this logic, marvels of human effort and
invention would be chalked up to nothing more than chance.
But mutants have the capacity to affect the evolution of
those with whom they interact and to set off chain
reactions of change. Unlike spontaneous mutation, genetic recombination is a

(33:37):
process by which better fit mutation occurs. The idea is
that even a tiny change can cause a profound adaptation.
This is the fundamental precept of a relatively new model
of evolution that theorizes population changes are caused by mutations
perths that lead to an avalanche of behavioral alterations after

(33:59):
long periods of equilibrium. Such intermittent flare outs of evolutionary
activity are natural and necessary for progress as opposed to
insignificant errors or cataclysmic disturbances. From a philosophical point of view,
each entity strives towards some essential goal, including human intelligence.

(34:21):
The eminent University of Chicago's psychologist Mihali chicks and. Mihali
argues that complexity is necessary for the enrichment and continuation
of human evolution. In a Psychology Today interview, he explains
his views, which seem to be in agreement with my
theory of evolutionary intelligence. At this point, we are one

(34:43):
of the major, if not the major selective mechanisms.

Speaker 19 (34:47):
On the planet.

Speaker 18 (34:48):
Whether we like it or not, what we do is
going to make a huge difference in the quality of
the atmosphere, the quality of water, plant life, animal life,
human life or evolution could make all kinds of mistakes,
and natural selection could have obliterated all types of life
forms from the Earth slowly over thousands of years, millions

(35:10):
of years. Some forms that were obviously more complex, had
a slight advantage and survived, and the effect has been
that we have had more and more complex forms with time.
I think that people should realize how important what they
do can be in changing both their lives and history.
We are unaware really of the powers we have. We

(35:34):
need to realize that in many ways, life, or at
least conscious life, begins only after you realize what.

Speaker 19 (35:41):
You are supposed to do. In terms of genetic and
social instructions.

Speaker 18 (35:46):
It's only when you free yourself from the basic conditioning
that we are born with do you start living. At
the same time you realize that you are free to
do it or not to do it, evolution will proceed
in in some other way somewhere else. Generally speaking, nature
has identifiable patterns, some of which are static, while others

(36:09):
are dynamic. In the animal world, for example, certain creatures
such as the crocodile, have changed little over the centuries,
while the modern horse, the descendant of numerous ancestors, has
experienced a significant number of mutations, beginning with the prehistoric
dawn horse fifty million years ago, a greyhound like animal

(36:32):
about twenty inches tall with an arched back and a
snout like nose.

Speaker 19 (36:37):
In nature.

Speaker 18 (36:39):
Some static patterns exist because, under prevailing conditions, they are
able to thrive. This becomes a problem when environmental factors
take a significant turn in a new direction. When a
responsive shift becomes necessary, not just any old change will
suffice for humankind.

Speaker 19 (36:57):
The key to successful.

Speaker 18 (36:59):
Adaptation is a dual process, one that encompasses both static
and dynamic patterns. Both standard intelligence and EVII process and
manipulate information efficiently. They both function optimally in a static environment.
What separates EVII from standard intelligence is its ability to

(37:20):
thrive in dynamic environments while expanding the collective knowledge base. Evolutionaries,
the bearers of evolutionary intelligence, achieve on a larger scale
because their brains can adapt to both dynamic and static environments. Therefore,
as things constantly change, they possess the basic tools to

(37:40):
swiftly detect and define problems and envision and enact creative solutions.
They are outfitted to lead us from the mechanical age
to the electronic age to the digital age as information
processing accelerates. They are the mutants who will help us survive. Currently,

(38:01):
such evolutionaries are experiencing enormous dissonance as they walk the
type rope between old and new. Their experience is akin
to the earliest birds, whose feathers first evolved from reptilian
scales for thermal protection. You can imagine the first time
this transitional creature ran along the same old ground, only

(38:22):
to find itself lifted up off its feet into the heavens.
The process of evolution is collective and visionary by nature,
the scope of its agenda far reaching. It is unnecessary
to force an exclusionary relationship between high potential and evolution,
that is, science versus God. Whatever the source, evolutionary intelligence

(38:46):
has the advantage of seeing the big picture in an
all inclusive manner, and thus is equipped to stretch the
limits of human progress. It is at once outwardly focused
and inwardly inspired. Both visionary and pragmatic intelligence and evolution
compliment each other because they share many characteristics. Evolution and

(39:09):
evolutionary intelligence are like an improvised dance, the performer not
always sure of what to do next, but moving all
the while. The pleasure derived from this process comes from
the guessing the surprises of meaningful creation. Unlike other species,
we can dream and conceptualize and distinguish between varying degrees

(39:32):
of quality. Darwin's notion of the survival of the fittest
is a short sighted theory of the intent of evolution.
Evolutionary intelligence is not something that one can limit, for
its scope and power are boundless.

Speaker 19 (39:49):
The ev I formula.

Speaker 18 (39:52):
Many people define intelligence as being smart, clever, quick witted,
or shrewd, and evolved means to unfold, amplify, integrate, or blossom. However,
when the two definitions are paired, it suggests a startling possibility.

(40:12):
This combination of vision plus action as a permanent intellectual
capacity introduces the new form of intelligence termed evolutionary intelligence.
It may help to think of evolutionary intelligence or EVI
as a mathematical equation. EVI equals MI plus g T

(40:36):
plus a d m I multiple intelligences. Multiple intelligences m
I are indicated by the presence of certain exceptional talents musical, verbal, visual, spatial, bodily, kinesthetic, mathematical, logical, interpersonal,

(40:57):
insightful about others, in personal, insightful about self, and naturalist abilities.

Speaker 20 (41:06):
G T.

Speaker 19 (41:07):
Gifted traits are.

Speaker 18 (41:09):
Present in the intensity, complexity, and drive that include original thinking,
sensory and emotional sensitivities, and deep empathy, excitability, perceptive strengths,
insight plus intuition, and goal oriented motivation. AD Advanced development

(41:30):
encompasses humanistic vision, mandated mission, and revolutionary action. These higher
level attributes enable those who develop them to both see
the world and have a commitment to the collective good
rooted in spiritual values and the recognition of the oneness
of all life as an overarching principled philosophy. This factor

(41:54):
promotes benevolence and transpersonal methods of problem solving. Underlying him
is an intrinsic mental picture of what could be if
humanity could join forces and overcome the ravages of war, poverty, disease,
and destruction.

Speaker 20 (42:11):
M M.

Speaker 18 (42:13):
Mandated mission can be defined as a resolute, inner directed,
uncompromising goal orientation that strives in concert with one's life purpose.
It is most recognizable in the form of steadfast individual perseverance.
The person who perseveres against all odds to fulfill an
obligation or dream often seems foolhardy to less optimistic individuals.

(42:38):
Michael Blake, who wrote the novel Dances with Wolves, revised
and resubmitted manuscripts over a twenty five year period in
spite of repeatedly being urged by everyone he knew to
give up what clearly seemed to be a losing battle.

Speaker 19 (42:53):
Nevertheless, he pressed on M.

Speaker 18 (42:56):
M is grounded in unwavering work that is driven by
an intense sense of direction and purpose.

Speaker 19 (43:02):
There is a duty bound.

Speaker 18 (43:04):
Character to its relentless goal seeking, even in the fog
of uncertainty, long before basic questions can be answered with confidence.
Mm's purpose is to aim individual gets toward a defined
set of goals. Combined, these two components HV and MM
are catalyzed by R revolutionary action. Revolutionary action is the

(43:30):
conceptual leap or leap of faith, the ability to take
action beyond accepted norms. It is the active ingredient of
evolutionary intelligence through which we see a real world manifestation
of high potential.

Speaker 19 (43:45):
It is the dream made real, the word made flesh
in the material world.

Speaker 18 (43:50):
We attribute such activities to the realm of the inventor,
whose new fangled ideas are daring and radical and often
transform life as we know it as Bell's telephone. Noted
scientists such as Ching chu Wu, whose experiments revolutionized one
of the basic laws of particle physics, are obvious evolutionaries.

(44:11):
Everyday geniuses who strive day and night to find remedies
for AIDS and Alzheimer's disease are evolutionaries, despite the fact
that their efforts had yet to afford them public recognition.
Quiet revolutionary actions can be just as momentous as the
award winning ones, often creating unexpected ripple effects, such as

(44:33):
Edith Spurlock Sampson's pioneering efforts as the first African American.

Speaker 19 (44:37):
Judge in America.

Speaker 18 (44:38):
Her appearance on a high school career day ignited a
love for the law in a young Barbara Jordan, who
became a congresswoman from Texas and gained prominence during the
Watergate hearings. Frequently, ares are a series of uncompromising efforts
that go by all but unnoticed, ever so slightly pointing
the compass of progress in a new direction. These unpretentious

(45:01):
are as proceed without fanfare until they quietly moved the
mountain and foster the breakthroughs.

Speaker 19 (45:07):
That make a more noticeable difference.

Speaker 18 (45:10):
How many of us know the names of the individuals
whose revolutionary actions gave us the battery, who painstakingly translated
the Bible into multiple languages, developed hybrid crops to better
feed the multitudes, or designed and redesigned the microchip that
we now take for granted. Helen Keller's promotion of opportunities

(45:32):
were the differently abled was not motivated by expectations of
fame and glory. She did what she did out of need,
and she found meaning in turning her disabilities into special
abilities that paved the way for others. There is no
standing ovation for the astute teacher who asks the provocative

(45:52):
question of the right student at exactly the right moment.
Though the end result can light the fire of undeveloped genius,
we tend to discount the maverick business manager who enlists
much needed raw talent in the company and then guides
it through the tangles of office politics until the former
protege has altered.

Speaker 19 (46:11):
The face of the industry.

Speaker 18 (46:14):
Nor do we televise award ceremonies for all the behind
the scenes caregivers and advocates of the underprivileged and marginalized
members of society. They're out there all around us, these evolutionaries,
quietly performing their revolutionary actions for all every day geniuses,
from the high profile luminary to the backstage mobilizer. Ev

(46:37):
I offers something far greater than the sum of its parts,
because it blends the best of human virtues with the
abundant resources and drive of giftedness and the creative spirit.

Speaker 19 (46:50):
And as in any formula, the.

Speaker 18 (46:52):
Values of each of the factors may vary, and a
zero in any one of them can cancel out the
entire effect. Multiple intelligences m I alone could conceivably produce
nothing more than under achievement, a reservoir of untapped resources
of an inherently rich mind. Humanistic vision h V, by

(47:14):
itself is honorable, yet likely to be unproductive if resigned
to idealism or wishful thinking. Ruinous effects can surface when
powerful gifted traits g T are processed through revolutionary actions
r A without the regulating influence of advanced development AD.

(47:37):
No single profile distinguishes an individual as someone with evolutionary intelligence.
Like most everything about human beings, there is an enormous
spectrum of possibility, But in every case, the effect of
EVI is a quantum leap toward the realization of human
potential because it merges the properties of capability into the

(47:59):
most dynamic.

Speaker 19 (48:00):
And fluid form.

Speaker 18 (48:02):
It is important to bear in mind that giftedness is
never a simple matter, it is fraught with misunderstanding, especially
about gradations. Just as musical ability can range from tone
deafness to being able to sing on key to yo yoma.
Like virtuosity, intelligence presents itself in many guises, all the

(48:23):
way from profound mental disability to skillful thinkers to the
Einsteins of the world who stand out among even the brightest. Furthermore,
the reason we recognize so few of the everyday geniuses
around us is the tendency in the adult world to
equate giftedness with high profile success, meaning obvious wealth, fame,

(48:46):
or position of influence. Lamentably, this eliminates untold members of
legitimately gifted individuals from the recognized ranks of potentiality, and
thereby hinders their development and reduces their resource is to marginaliam.
We must remember that everyday geniuses are all around us
in every corner of society. They are not a tiny

(49:09):
group of rocket scientists or profoundly brilliant sensations. Nor are
they all former straight A students, award winning debaters, charismatic
rabble rousers, or virtuoso musicians. Rather, they are the everyday
people of unusual vision who give progress.

Speaker 19 (49:28):
A forward push. When the owners of.

Speaker 18 (49:31):
These special gifts allow themselves to shut out the world
and listen to a place deep inside, they hear the
voice of their inner agenda, and when they grow to
trust it, they begin to hear the call of evolution itself.
When combined constructively, the EBI variables pay off with someone
such as Mother Teresa, whose very high HV and MM

(49:54):
were synthesized in her unique form of r A to
apply evolutionary intelligence to the suffering of the ailing, unwonted
and the destitute. In a different configuration, Bill Gates's form
of EVII is strongest in g T and MM, which,
when expressed in his particular RA style, entirely overhauled the

(50:16):
computer industry and made him a youthful billionaire. English Prime
Minister Tony Blair's consolidated MI, GT and HV manifested in
revolutionary actions that in large part were responsible for a
negotiated peace with Ireland, a feat nearly everyone had given
up as a hopeless cause. EVII and liberated everyday genius

(50:41):
are really one and the same, a result not of
boardroom shrewdness or science laboratory inspiration, but of a twenty
four hour of day, seven day a week, need to
be free, to stretch the mind farther, to crystallize knowledge,
to apply creative energy without restraint, to use and at
length use up the gifts one was given to develop.

(51:05):
Many would agree that in contemporary American culture, the seeds
of evolutionary intelligence were born again in the post World
War II baby boomers. They grew up being infused with
a level of idealism that has since been minimized by cynicism.

Speaker 19 (51:21):
President Kennedy's cabinet was a prime.

Speaker 18 (51:23):
Example of a merger of every day genius strengths translated
into a mandated mission and revolutionary action. It is my
firm belief that evolutionary intelligence is the next step. It
is more robust than simply being smart, more rewarding than
being successful, and more electric than waiting for satisfaction on

(51:46):
the installment plan.

Speaker 19 (51:48):
Moreover, it finally explains.

Speaker 18 (51:50):
Why gifted people are designed to have in their hard
wiring extra sensitivity, drive, intensity, and creative vision. Ev I
make sense of the fact that they intuit discoveries and
innovations before they have the skills to make them really
and that throughout their lives they are relentlessly pursued by
images of the ideal.

Speaker 19 (52:14):
Seven.

Speaker 18 (52:15):
The Evolutionary Intelligence Profile BBI equals MII plus GT plus
ad about the EBI profile. The Evolutionary Intelligence Profile. The
EBI profile is intended to provide you with a systematic

(52:37):
way to identify your traits and behaviors and determine your
potential for evolutionary intelligence. It is a tool that will
help you discover vital information about the very essence of
who you are and provide you with a clearer understanding
of your own unique strengths. The EBI profile may be
used for self discovery than self guidance, or in situations

(52:59):
where trust is high.

Speaker 19 (53:01):
Co workers, supervisors, teachers.

Speaker 18 (53:03):
Or friends may complete it to offer feedback about how
they see you in team settings. Sharing results can add
valuable information to determine who is best suited for which
parts of a project, to see whose strengths might be
combined or used to compensate for other limitations, and to
remove significant barriers to achievement that arise when individual differences

(53:27):
in approach are misunderstood or disallowed. The EBI profile is
a self rated questionnaire of two hundred forty items that
will take you through a systematic exploration of the various
components of evolutionary intelligence. Following descriptions of the types of
questions in the profile, you will find more specific instructions

(53:48):
on how to take and score the questionnaire.

Speaker 19 (53:52):
Section one m I plus g T.

Speaker 18 (53:56):
Section one is divided into two parts that will evaluate
the elements of your special abilities that have remained relatively
stable over your lifetime. By rating your multiple intelligences m
I and Gifted Traits g T, you will be able
to form a clearer picture of to what extent and
in what form you possess the special abilities that are

(54:19):
a part of what make you a gifted adult.

Speaker 19 (54:23):
Multiple Intelligences m I.

Speaker 18 (54:27):
In this part, you will identify the range of your
skills and talents based on Howard Gardner's model of multiple
intelligences Gifted Traits g T. This section helps you evaluate
your gifted characteristics under the umbrella traits of intensity, complexity,
and drive. This will help you determine if you are

(54:47):
among the millions of unidentified gifted adults and which of
the traits of giftedness have the greatest influence on your personality.
Section two Advanced Development hv mm R. This section is
divided into three parts, each of which rates a particular

(55:08):
aspect of your advanced development. Profiles in this section will
allow you to extend what you know about your abilities
by determining your level of development in three specific areas.
Humanistic Vision HB, Mandated Mission MM, and Revolutionary Action are A.

(55:29):
Unlike the traits evaluated in section one, your expression of
advanced development changes over time because these areas of development
must be mastered through continuous learning and life experience. When
you utilize your particular special abilities in concert with humanistic
vision and mandated mission, your baseline everyday genius advances to

(55:52):
potential evolutionary intelligence. When your potential EVIIQ is released through
revolutionary ACTA, your everyday genius is liberated to achieve unconventional
breakthrough intelligence evolutionary intelligence.

Speaker 19 (56:09):
Humanistic Vision HV.

Speaker 18 (56:12):
Rates your current ability to make a meaningful and selfless
contribution to society that is in sync with your unique gifts.
Mandated Mission MM rates your capacity for seeking out your
entrusted life purpose and direction, committing to a course of action,
overcoming obstacles, and negotiating the process of self actualization. Revolutionary

(56:37):
Action R rates the degree to which you are willing
to defy conventions and withstand criticism and opposition in order
to forge new paths and affect your mission. Taking the
EVII profile, allow yourself thirty to sixty minutes to complete

(56:57):
the profile. Rate yourself zero, one, two, three on each
item by circling the appropriate number that corresponds to how
well the statement describes you. Zero equals not at all
like me. One equals slightly like me, Two equals moderately
like me. Three equals very much like me. Be as

(57:20):
honest with yourself as possible. Remember, there are no right
or wrong answers. Consequently, your responses should reflect how you
are and not how you would like to be. However,
also bear in mind that, as a result of socialization
the adult, you may no longer express some of these

(57:41):
traits to the same degree you did at earlier stages
in your life. For these items, base your score on
your past general aptitudes and behaviors. No one else needs
to see your results, but you may find it helpful
to discuss items about which you are uncertain with some
one who knows you well. It is important, however, not

(58:03):
to over analyze the statements. After you have calculated your results,
you will then be ready to consider your aptitude in
view of the EDI equation. By using the charts to
plot your scores, you will have a graphic representation of
your type of evolutionary intelligence and your strengths and weaknesses.

Speaker 19 (58:24):
Your score is a.

Speaker 18 (58:25):
Numerical representation of your evolutionary intelligence quotient or EDIQ. The
items in this profile are based on solid scientific research. Currently,
there are no formal standardized measurement tools for gifted adults,
and certainly no psychometric instruments for measuring every day genius

(58:46):
or evolutionary intelligence. Statistical standardization can take many years, and
this instrument is not proposed as a decision making tool
for school entrance or job placement. Remember, the EVQ profile
is a prototype inventory intended to provide a systematic way
to identify and rate your traits and habits in terms

(59:10):
of potential for evolutionary intelligence.

Speaker 19 (59:15):
What the ev IQ score tells you.

Speaker 18 (59:19):
Begin by reviewing your high and low scores on each
section of the inventory. On the Multiple Intelligences m I section,
your highest scores identify your prominent skill and talent areas.
Think about how you have or have not developed these
skills and talents As a part of your work or
personal life. Consider also how these high scoring areas might

(59:43):
be combined to your advantage to create a new pattern
of success. Think of these strengths in terms of personal
needs more than possibilities. For instance, if you score high
on music smart and body smart, you may be able
to significantly end dance your well being through regular involvement
in dance or therapeutic massage.

Speaker 19 (01:00:05):
If you score high on words smart.

Speaker 18 (01:00:08):
Nature smart, and relationship smart, think of how you might
benefit from organizing a nature book discussion group, becoming an
urban environmental watchdog, or volunteering to lead tours at a
nature center. When reviewing your Gifted Traits GT profile, start
by reminding yourself that each of these intensity, complexity, and

(01:00:30):
drive characteristics is a valuable basic asset that underlies excellence
and self actualization. You can take a giant step toward
liberating your own brand of everyday genius by remembering that
every one of these attributes can be.

Speaker 19 (01:00:45):
A building block of excellence.

Speaker 18 (01:00:48):
Also, in evaluating your scores, you may be able to
see that certain of these traits are out of balance
depending on your career, personal situation, and basic personality type
forms both introverted or extroverted. You can consider how to
work with, not around your traits and habits in order
to avoid setting obstacles in your own path. Take some

(01:01:11):
time to reflect on how MI, I and GT can
combine to work for you. This will give you a
more detailed portrait of your special abilities SA, which will
trigger additional ideas about areas that are best fits for
your time and energy. Remember that the factors of advanced
development AD in section two change and grow over time.

(01:01:36):
The HV inventory is a kind of snapshop showing where
you stand in terms of humanistic vision. Think about the
items and how you rated your service, meaningful contribution and
sense of personal destiny. Make note of any regrets that
come to mind or dreams that were shelved for one
reason or another. Give yourself an opportunity to refort on

(01:02:00):
your life from a future perspective by utilizing a kind
of rocking chair mentality. Visualize yourself rocking leisurely on your
front porch toward the end of your life, reviewing what
you have contributed to the world.

Speaker 19 (01:02:15):
What acts give you the.

Speaker 18 (01:02:16):
Greatest sense of satisfaction, What regrets might you have if
nothing changes in your life, and what might you do
to avoid those regrets. As you review your current level
of understanding and implementation of your mandated mission, remember that
the process of self actualization can be likened to.

Speaker 19 (01:02:37):
An endurance sport.

Speaker 18 (01:02:39):
The victory isn't always to the swiftest, but to the
one who most consistently maintains the effort over the long haul.
How does your sense of personal mission affect your confidence, motivation,
and perseverance. Reflect on the ways and the circumstances in
which you have doubted, sidetracked, or derail yourself. What would

(01:03:02):
it take to recover your lost dreams or passion? Think
of ways to redirect your energies by recombining your strengths
to develop new expertise. Revolutionary action R is a special
dimension of evolutionary intelligence. It is the catalyst that activates
special abilities into EVI to attain new heights. It launches

(01:03:26):
exceptional gifts into the realm of gifted leadership. As you
consider your scores in this subsection, visualize revolutionary action as
a pebble you toss into life's waters that causes a
series of ripple effects that expand in many directions. Have
you made your vision a reality or have you been

(01:03:47):
satisfied to think, wouldn't it be nice if any increase
or decrease in one of the EVIQ factors can profoundly
affect your EVQ score. For example, even with an extraordinarily
high M I and GT score, a low r A
number can substantially reduce your ev IQ. Such a profile

(01:04:10):
would suggest that tremendous abilities have not been fully activated. Likewise,
an extremely high M M or r A score and
low M I or g T could indicate a valuable
outpouring of effort, though it might be low in the
ev IQ range because of limited ability M I or

(01:04:31):
g T or low advanced development h V M m
r A. Consider into what ev IQ ranges people you
admire would fall and why. Think about what you would
have to do to change your ev IQ range. Make
note of ideas and questions about yourself that surfaced as

(01:04:52):
you reflected on your scores. Add ongoing ideas, questions, and
insights as you continue listening to the book Evolutionary Intelligence
in real life. Having now taken the Evolutionary Intelligence profile,
you are familiar with the factors involved and are more

(01:05:13):
aware of the emerging pattern of your special traits. To
make the EDI equation more tangible. Let us take a
look at a few individuals who serve as good illustrations
of the various forms EDI can take while being mindful
of some of the key telltale markers of each of
the primary factors.

Speaker 19 (01:05:33):
Special abilities m I plus GT. Jordan, truly a man for.

Speaker 18 (01:05:40):
All seasons, was known by his friends and co workers
as someone who was an expert in just about everything.
He was, indeed an exemplar of multiple intelligences. He was
body smart in that he could pick up nearly any
sport and excel at it within just a few weeks.
Since he could adroitly handle scissors and sash and intricate

(01:06:00):
paper snowflakes before he was five years old, his extraordinary
eye hand coordination had been obvious. Over the years, it
became even more clear that Jordan's dexterity, strength, stamina, finesse,
and easy efficiency of movement were beyond ordinary. Indeed, his
coaches marveled at his dear like fleetness of foot and

(01:06:22):
catlike cunning on the playing field. To everyone's surprise, but
his Jordan had a tough time deciding what to do
about his desire to become an environmental scientist. When Just
before college, he had several offers from big League baseball
and football teams, buying for his outstanding pitching and quarterbacking abilities.

(01:06:43):
He agonized over his choice, eventually sticking with his plans
to become a scientist because his self smart early wisdom
told him his true path lay in that domain. No
one but his sister agreed with his choice. She had
always understood Jordan's affinity for nature. Indeed, it was his
nature smart ability to match his frequency with animals and

(01:07:06):
plants that made his heart sink. He loved the intricate
patterns of nature and seemed to grasp at almost a
cellular level, how the environment worked and how to protect
and sustain its wonders. And so Jordan continued to play
ball in college, thoroughly enjoying the experience, despite the fact
that he was sorrowfully letting go of a highly coveted dream.

(01:07:30):
Jordan had always been required to make difficult choices like this.
Had he honestly answered standard what do you want to
be when you grow up questions, he might have said,
everything I have time for. When his high school guidance
counselor tried to help him with career choices, Jordan, like
others with multiple intelligences, found little use in the usual

(01:07:54):
recommendations such as do what you love because he could
dive into nearly any topic with real enthusiasm, or do
what you're good at because he was better than most
kids had nearly everything he tried. Like most everyday geniuses,
Jordan never thought of himself as exceptional. He knew he

(01:08:16):
had special talents and learned things quickly, but he was
used to that, and so was everyone He knew.

Speaker 19 (01:08:22):
He was a sought after friend and a trusted confidante
of many.

Speaker 18 (01:08:26):
More often than not, Jordan was the enthusiastic one in
the group, the person who seemed to bring a bit
of magic to social gatherings. Because he was word smart.
Jordan was an easy talker who made good.

Speaker 19 (01:08:39):
Use of his verbal abilities.

Speaker 18 (01:08:41):
He relied on his relationship smart abilities to shrewdly read
situations and detect the needs and feelings of others, which
kept him from abusing his powers of persuasion. Jordan was
a true specimen of the gifted traits of complex thinking
and perception. From childhood, he had never ceased to be

(01:09:01):
an endlessly curious person whose keen observations were amplified by
a second sight for what would probably happen next. He
was independent and self motivated, and like a dog after
a bone, he was able to pursue something that caught
his interest. As a scientist, he put these traits to

(01:09:22):
excellent use. He could be energized by problems that seemed
to defy resolution, problems that made others throw their hands
up in defeat when he was on the trail of
something important. His gifted trait of intensity allowed him to
concentrate for long periods of time, making him highly productive,
unlike many of his colleagues. In the face of a

(01:09:44):
deadline or crisis, Jordan's capacity and imagination seemed to double,
and somehow his energy appeared to be self renewable. For years,
it had been difficult for Jordan to balance his highly
independent style with the needs of his work team. Yet
by pooling his exceptional resources, he had discovered balance was

(01:10:05):
not equivalent to settling for mediocrity. He had always been
fascinated with the concept of a think tank and came
to understand think tank methods.

Speaker 19 (01:10:15):
As his natural way of working.

Speaker 18 (01:10:17):
When Jordan finally realized that neither the meat until there's consensus,
nor the do it all yourself approach offered the right solution.
He brought an in and out procedure to his team.
Each member would retain ownership, credit, and accountability for his
or her element of the research, while all were committed
to the same goal and underlying principle save the venerable

(01:10:41):
oaks of the Midwest's Big Woods from extinction by oak
wilt and urban sprawl. Even though at first the others
were skeptical, thinking Jordan's time and ego saving approach was
too simple to be effective, they eventually found tremendous value
in it. In large part, this was because, just as
in sports, Jordan had learned that timing was everything. Earlier

(01:11:06):
in his career, his sagacity had backfired because others distrusted
and dismissed his ideas, either when he revealed them too
early in the process or if they required too great
a leap of faith. Now, he was more artistic in
curbing his enthusiasm when necessary to better navigate the rapids
of meaningful change.

Speaker 19 (01:11:27):
Lately, Jordan had.

Speaker 18 (01:11:28):
Been thinking a lot about the past, his days on
the pitcher's mount and in the huddle. In the last
minutes of the big game, He smiled, a knowing smile
as he realized how it all fit together, even the
intricate snowflakes he had made as a preschooler, the outdoors challenge, teamwork, autonomy,
complexity and interconnectedness of all things, an artistic balance of

(01:11:53):
thought and action, communicating effectively winning a seemingly losing battle.
There it all was no real loss and no bad choices,
but rather an adventurous life founded on a liberating amalgamation
of traits and abilities, a growing synthesis that cleared the
way for Jordan to enjoy each and every day while

(01:12:16):
he advanced in his field, more fleet footed, self assured,
and directly aimed at his heart's true agenda and his
distinct place in evolution. Jordan illustrates the complexity and necessity
of integrating multiple intelligences with gifted traits. The key ingredients
in his pattern are excellent mind, body coordination and skillful movement,

(01:12:41):
masterful constructive use of the power of words, sophisticated ability
to read situations and respect other's needs, insatiable curiosity, self
directed investigation, and creative energy. Autonomy coupled with collaboration for
unparalleled success. Humanistic vision HV Brenda was a benevolent and

(01:13:09):
imaginative woman who had never been able to separate the
notion of a good idea from the notion of something
that was good for all. This ability allowed her to
see possibilities differently than others. Since early childhood, she had
had an appreciation for the interconnectedness and value of all things.
Brenda was a bridge builder, someone naturally equipped to detect

(01:13:33):
links between divided agendas, links that unearthed win win resolutions
that rarely occurred to others. Everyone thought of her as
an advocate, a person who validated and upheld individuality in
ways that ironically.

Speaker 19 (01:13:48):
Brought people together.

Speaker 18 (01:13:50):
Yet at times she struggled with her own individuality, finding
it hard.

Speaker 19 (01:13:55):
To square her own wants and needs with the needs
of others.

Speaker 18 (01:13:59):
In Midlans, she was better at sticking up for herself
than when she was young, though her ability to see
all sides of an argument than to feel the feelings
of others could turn empathy into exhaustion. Brenda was unmistakably
someone who loathed conflict, avoiding disagreements as much as possible,
but her high level ethics and standards meant she was

(01:14:22):
intolerant of injustice and falsehood. More than once she had
felt duty bound to take a stand against injustice, especially
for someone other than herself. To those around her, these
temporary changes of demeanor looked to be uncalled for flarups
of drama. What they failed to realize was that, in
all things, Brenda's image of a future as humanly civilized

(01:14:46):
as it is technologically advanced was the backbone of her thinking.
Unfairness had always been a battle cry to which she
responded by either creatively circumventing destructive rules and procedures, or,
if mess necessary, locking horns with authority figures. Whatever her disposition,
Brenda always had one eye on the future and the

(01:15:08):
promotion of a better world. These days, Brenda endeavored to
choose her battles wisely, avoiding broken bridges with little possibility
of being rebuilt, or letting go of tempting skirmishes that
might better be righted by someone else.

Speaker 19 (01:15:25):
This was not as easy as it may sound.

Speaker 18 (01:15:27):
Because Brenda could skillfully track a problem and wrestle it
to the ground before others left the starting gate. She
had learned to feel answerable to her insight, as if
seeing that something was wrong obligated her to fix it.
Getting there first in Brenda's case, was not always a triumph.
It seemed she was often too early to summon the

(01:15:49):
interest of others, less aware, too charitable for many people's taste,
or too blunt a truth teller to allow accountability to
be overlooked. Us a predicament because if something important was
wrong and she knew it without doing anything to change it,
her feelings of guilt could be crushing. Brenda is a

(01:16:10):
prime example of humanistic vision HB because she exemplifies benevolent compassion,
deep concern and pursuit of wisdom, high ethical standards and
dedication to universal ideals. Ability to facilitate win win resolutions
that bring people together, powerful desire to create a better

(01:16:33):
world and make a difference, Intolerance for injustice, oppression and suffering,
drive and mandated mission. Randall was a striver whose actions
seemed to be pulled by an invisible tractor. Being he
didn't seem to know the meaning of the phrase give up.

(01:16:55):
In many ways, he was a modern day marvel of
sticktuitiveness who seemed to need no prodding from others to
get going and stay with it. Some people thought of
him as foolish, while others considered him overly serious and stubborn.

Speaker 19 (01:17:10):
Yet Randal had always thrived on challenge.

Speaker 18 (01:17:13):
In fact, he felt lost and deenergized without a formidable
task in front of him. Although it may have seemed
that Randal was an oppositional child, he was not. He
simply liked to master new ways, innovative ways of doing things,
whether it was throwing out the directions for a model
airplane so that he could do it his way, or

(01:17:35):
drawing up plants for a water saving showerhead. Before conservation
became popular, Randal was drawn to doing whatever.

Speaker 19 (01:17:43):
Was necessary to improve things.

Speaker 18 (01:17:46):
Everyone knew that no grass would grow under Randall's feet,
but they didn't know was why Some had called him hyperactive,
while others interpreted his zeal as self focused, overly ambitious,
or insatiable.

Speaker 19 (01:18:01):
None of these was an accurate assessment of Randall.

Speaker 18 (01:18:05):
Indeed, he found satisfaction in many things and was eager
to share nearly everything he learned and owned. Yet he
also intrinsically knew that real goal attainment often takes years
of step by step effort, interrupted by detours and mistakes
on the side. After his fifty plus hours a week

(01:18:25):
as a CPA for a fortune five hundred company, Randal
diligently learned everything he could about filmmaking. During the first
few years of his interest, he had confided in a
few friends that he had a dream of one day
producing a documentary on aging in America, an expose of
what he considered the throwing away of American wisdom.

Speaker 19 (01:18:48):
Later, he learned to keep his.

Speaker 18 (01:18:50):
Intentions to himself to avoid the negative comments of others
who had no idea what it took to pull off
such a venture. Even Randall's wife began to take exception
to his night owl efforts. She worried that his hopes
would be dashed and that all his hard work might
be for naught. Randal knew that she had trouble understanding

(01:19:11):
his zeal. He also knew that this was a labor
of love and as much a need for him as
eating and sleeping. No matter what the outcome, not trying
was not an option. Randal was not undone by the
long hours for the lack of ready made success. His
motivation came from the inside and outside worlds. Once he

(01:19:33):
had figured out where his passion lay, he derived tremendous
happiness from the endeavor. The process of attempting to live
up to his own expectations, which were in turn fueled
by what he truly believed to be an important issue.
Randal had always known his exceptional drive could get out
of hand and become more of a liability than an asset.

(01:19:56):
Having outgrown a hindering need for a lot of external approval,
he could move forward with unprecedented confidence.

Speaker 19 (01:20:03):
As his dream began to take shape.

Speaker 18 (01:20:06):
Getting rid of excessive approval needs was the first step
to allowing his ideas to spring forth with a voice
of authority. Next, even though he had often wished he
didn't need to sleep or take breaks, Randal needed to
learn to manage himself according to real world criteria because
his goal oriented striving hadn't always worked out so well

(01:20:28):
in relationships or even in terms of his bodily health.
Once he saw how critical it was to counterbalance his
driven effort with equalizing shifts from serious thinking to lighthearted play,
from sitting to moving, from being alone to being together,
from the abstract to the realities of daily life, he

(01:20:49):
discovered that.

Speaker 19 (01:20:50):
Sometimes more was just more, not better.

Speaker 18 (01:20:55):
As he became accustomed to consciously and systematically centering himself
each day, Randal was able to manage his life like
a seasoned spider, venturing out farther than most on a
broader web of experience.

Speaker 19 (01:21:10):
Now more could be better.

Speaker 18 (01:21:13):
Randal's judicious self management plan, knowing himself and managing his
strengths was the key to the realization of his dreams.
The road upon which he felt duty bound to travel
was a path that called for his utmost courage, effort,
and creativity of spirit. This was a path that could

(01:21:33):
never fully succeed by reason of self gratification alone. Of that,
he was certain, and he also understood that it would
be reasonable to tie his dreams to a star only
when he could push forward on the zigzag root of
self actualization without burning himself or his relationships out, or
sacrificing the value of living in the moment for the

(01:21:55):
envisioned moment of getting to the desired end. Randall's striving
style is a model of the quality of drive, because
he carried a passion for innovation and new information, a
driving inner need to become all he could be. Tolerance
and appreciation for the painstaking efforts of excellence, an ability

(01:22:19):
to be energized by challenge, inner directedness, self starter, zeal,
and a dynamic sense of obligation, humanistic vision HV, and
revolutionary action R. Mitch went to Vietnam as an infantryman

(01:22:41):
in the Army in nineteen sixty nine, when he was eighteen.
He had grown up in the suburbs of Milwaukee a
typical middle class life. Though he'd been in a few
scrapes as a teenager, his upbringing was fairly safe and uneventful.
Before he was shipped off to the Mekong Delta. The
only deaths he had personally encountered were those of his

(01:23:01):
pet turtle and of his ninety year old grandfather. Like
so many veterans of the Vietnam War, Mitch's callow psyche
was forever altered by his experience. Seeing his bodies blown
apart by land mines and helping to gather their dog
tags and put them in body bags took a tremendous
toll on his.

Speaker 19 (01:23:21):
Deep seated idealism.

Speaker 18 (01:23:24):
Mitch had always been considered to be brighter than most,
well liked, fair minded, fun loving, and a young man
of his word. Mitch came back from Vietnam embittered and hateful. Mostly,
he hated the Vietnamese, even though he had spent time
in their villages and held some of their smiling children
in his arms. He had come to despise and blame

(01:23:46):
them for all the atrocities of war. Perhaps by hating them,
he could justify killing them, children and all. When he
returned to Milwaukee, he decided to put all that behind him,
as if it were simply a hide nightmare. He closed
the door to that part of his life. Mitch was
determined to take up where he had left off. Without delay,

(01:24:09):
he pursued his childhood dream of becoming a firefighter. Eight
years later, he found himself embroiled in a situation he
had never expected. The inner city of Milwaukee had changed
immensely over the years, now housing a large population of
Southeast Asians, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian immigrants. That same year,

(01:24:31):
Mitch was promoted to captain and reassigned to a unit
in the middle of the Asian neighborhood.

Speaker 19 (01:24:37):
At first, he thought nothing of it, that is, until
he came into.

Speaker 18 (01:24:41):
Direct contact with one of the families during a kitchen fire.
Though the fire was quickly extinguished, the drama of the
screaming families, together with the smoke and flames threw Mitch
into a shocking reliving of his wartime feelings. Only his
tremendous concentration and emergency training kept his mind on the
task at hand. In the apartment building, he saw the

(01:25:05):
faces of the very people he had hated so bitterly.

Speaker 19 (01:25:08):
Here in his hometown.

Speaker 18 (01:25:11):
They were real people, scared, shivering in the winter cold,
tears falling from their eyes as they surrounded the fire
fighters with animated gratitude. Unsure at first of exactly why,
Mitch returned to that same neighborhood again and again over
the following weeks. Strangely, he felt something that he could

(01:25:32):
describe only as a sentimental attraction. Mitch's humanistic vision was
taking on a real form. In the weeks ahead. He
noticed groups of Asian teenagers hanging out on the street corners.
When Mitch first approached them, they were wary and unresponsive
in their former homeland, anyone in uniform was menacing. Then

(01:25:56):
they began to talk, the kind of conversation that happens
in most neighborhoods when people aren't afraid. He found out
many of them were having trouble in school in terms
of both fitting in and understanding the assignments because of
their language and cultural differences. Having grown up as the gifted,
different kid in his own neighborhood, Mitch had always held

(01:26:17):
a soft spot in his heart for anyone who felt alienated.
This was the beginning of a life changing journey for
Mitch that also radically changed the lives of Asian teens
in Milwaukee. He organized the street kids into a group,
found out what they liked to do, and garnered the
support of local youth ministers and community service organizations to

(01:26:40):
start a club for them. Part of the group's spun
off to develop a crime watcher's patrol with the help of.

Speaker 19 (01:26:46):
One of Mitch's friends in the police department.

Speaker 18 (01:26:49):
Within a few months, the parents and grandparents of the
members were coming to the club when the kids were
in school. Mitch listened as they recounted their needs for
transportation to and from work and their struggles with health care,
legal assistance, tax forms, and the like. From them, he
learned about their customs and religious practices, and he was

(01:27:10):
invited to their homes for dinner. He realized that they
too had suffered, that they also experienced the horrors of warfare,
that they had a chance to heal the old wounds
with each other right there in Milwaukee. They had all
been through hell, and even though a part of each
of them would be lost forever, now, with Mitch's help,

(01:27:33):
together they were gradually finding their way back from hell
into a new life beyond the malignance of hatred. Though
people like Mitch never appear on magazine covers or in
Who's Who, his benevolent efforts healed, liberated, and constructively altered
his own life and the lives of many more than

(01:27:53):
he would ever know, which made his courageously creative action
far reaching and, in the final analysis, revolutionary. It only
looks revolutionary after the fact, to our collective disadvantage, few
bright and talented people who rise to public acclaim tell

(01:28:15):
the details of their beginnings. If they did, it might
be a great deal easier to imagine ourselves doing extraordinary things.
But as it is, we rarely get a glimpse of
the self doubting happenstance, abiding, lonely, persevering nature of developing excellence.
Perhaps we elevate high achievers because we are in need

(01:28:37):
of heroes, or perhaps by elevating them we justify not
putting our own abilities on the line. Because we decide
we must be out of the running. Yet, rather than
weigh ourselves down with qualms of not me, we would
do better to ask ourselves why not me? Ed I

(01:28:57):
offers something far greater than the sum of its parts
when it intermixes virtues that embody the best of what
is valuable about the human species with the abundant resources
of giftedness and creative spirit. In a different configuration, Bill
Gates's form of ev I might be said to represent
someone with indisputable special abilities, multiple intelligences plus gifted traits,

(01:29:24):
boundless drive, and a mandated mission that is focused on
catapulting technology to new heights to the advantage of humankind.
His irrefutable revolutionary actions changed the face of the computer
industry nearly overnight.

Speaker 19 (01:29:40):
We might also.

Speaker 18 (01:29:41):
Conclude, as is so often the case for entrepreneurs, that
his humanistic vision is growing and gaining momentum over time.
Bill Gates is a controversial figure, an amalgam of talents
and personality traits that have earned him many labels. Thus
far in his Ille Austria's career, he seems to have

(01:30:01):
gone from geek boy to wonder boy. From a sometimes admired,
sometimes loathed, wealthy man of power to a national corporate
leader revered for his vision and daring. By his early forties,
he had amassed a fortune in the billions through a
company that provided him a profit of about thirty million

(01:30:22):
dollars a day. The enigmatic Gates was dubbed by one
of his school teachers a nerd before the term was invented,
and by his college roommate the smartest guy I've ever met.
Gates is reported to have a cutthroat attitude, to have
a temper that is barely in check, to be elusive,

(01:30:43):
and to be fiercely competitive in everything he undertakes, which
gets his juices flowing. In a nineteen ninety seven Time
cover story, Walter Isaacson sought out the real Bill Gates.
In the twenty one years since he drops out of
Harvard to start Microsoft, William Henry Gates, the third forty one,

(01:31:05):
has thrashed competitors in the world of desktop operating systems
and application software. Now he is attempting the audacious feat
of expanding Microsoft from a software company into a media
and content company. His success stems from his personality, an
awesome and at times frightening blend of brilliance, drive, competitiveness,

(01:31:27):
and personal intensity. He has incredible processing power and unlimited bandwidth,
an agility at parallel processing and multitasking.

Speaker 19 (01:31:38):
Gates's father recalls.

Speaker 18 (01:31:39):
That when Bill was a child, Trey was more into
the individual sports such as water skiing, than the team ones.
We became concerned about him when he was ready for
junior high. He was so small and shy, in need
of protection, and his interests were so very different from
the typical sixth graders. His intellectual drive and curiosity would

(01:32:03):
not be satisfied in a big public school. By tenth grade,
he was teaching computers and writing a program that handled
class scheduling, which had a secret function that placed him
in classes with the right girls. He and his friends
had started a profitable company to analyze and graph traffic
data for the city. His confidence increased and his sense

(01:32:25):
of humor increased. He became a great story teller who
could mimic the voices of each person. Reflecting on his
Microsoft partnership with longtime friend Paul Allen, Gates said, we
like to talk about how the fantasies we had as
kids actually came true. On the human mind and the

(01:32:45):
future Gates maintains evolution is many orders of magnitude ahead
of mankind to day in creating a complex system. I
don't think it's irreconcilable to say we will understand the
human mind some day and explain it in software like terms,
and also to say it is a creation that shouldn't
be compared to software. Religion has come around to the

(01:33:09):
view that even things that can be explained scientifically can
have an underlying purpose that goes beyond the science. Even
though I am not religious, the amazement and wonder I
have about the human mind is closer to religious awe
than dispassionate analysis. One by one, all the factors in

(01:33:30):
the formula can and must be put together by each
every day genius in order to move high potential into
the realm of evolutionary intelligence, where it can release its
full power to become all we might be, To do
all we were intended to do, as creatively and responsibly
as possible, is not an undertaking for the faint of heart.

(01:33:53):
Yet at length, what is most prized in our lives
is invariably what is also an arduous ascent of the mountain.
Each step matters, and each is valuable though for all
intents and purposes, the first step is most important because
it is foundational. It is the initial step to know
thyself that is prerequisite to advanced development and the eventual

(01:34:17):
fulfillment of latent possibility.

Speaker 13 (01:35:10):
In the farnes of that, I was going the gostop
