“a hero-in-waiting”

Guy Kawasaki posted his interview with Dr. Philip Zimbardo this morning.

I love this concept for all of us, not just children:

“…to promote in our children this heroic imagination, to make them accept the mantle of being a hero-in-waiting for a situation that will come along sometime in their lives…”

A “lite” version of the bodhisattva vows to help others—”for those who wish to go across the waters, may I be a boat, a raft, a bridge”.*

* From Shantideva’s prayer in “The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life”.
