Ask Bob The Teacher

This may seem like an off-topic rant, but I’ll bring it all together in just a minute…

As you may know, for the past ten years I’ve taught history to ninth graders and older.

What you may not know is that for 8 of those years I also taught one of the most popular electives in the school: World Religions.

This class changed many lives, opening up the views of the students who never knew how much so many religions have in common.

It changed my life, too.

Even though I was the teacher of the course, I learned more about the core essentials of faith than I ever learned anywhere else.

At the heart of every religion is the quest for peace, generosity, and hope.

Even if not all the followers always put these three things in the forefront, they are the cornerstone of just about every religion I’ve ever studied.

In the middle of my career in teaching this particular course, one of my students co-authored a course with me, Studies in Non-Violence.

It has been offered in the county schools for the past 5 years.

So what does this have to do with building a business online and the lessons I usually share with you?

Well one of the challenges I’ve had to face is reconciling the growth of income with the responsibilities that comes with that.

So I’ve been trying to find a way to share part of my income with a charity that fits with my own personal philosophies — most of which I developed as a teacher of World Religions.

I’m happy to say that after months of searching, I finally found the charity that fits with all of my thinking and passions for helping others.

The cool thing is, it doesn’t promote any one religion, nor focus on any single area of the world.

Instead, it focuses on the issues of poverty and war, attempting to eliminate the reasons for why people create and put up with conflict.

As you look at this presentation I’m about to share with you, I want you to listen to the voice in your head that says, “This is nice, but it will never work…”

And I want you to remember all those times someone told you one person can’t make a difference, yet how often that proved to be untrue.

The one teacher that changed your life, the one book written by one author that introduced you to something wonderful…

The one person you’re spending the rest of your life with.

The birth of one child turning your whole world into a new direction…

You get the picture.

Help me make a difference — and make the core essentials of peace, generosity, and hope a reality for millions of people.
