Leadership and teamwork's holistic simplicity is often forgotten. This short video gives a unique and inspiring description of the decisions we make every day in our lives and how we as individuals can impact the world we live in.
 
 
 
 
1. "The world needs to stop being boring. Yeah, you! Everybody can be boring, but your (better) than that." What is the kid trying to say? How can we make the world less boring?
 
2. Think about all major businesses in the world.. Are we all working for the same goals? Why or why not? Would we be more successful if we all had the same goals?
 
3. Describe one person in your life that has taken the road less traveled by. Was it worth it?
 
4. How can a combination of creativity, teamwork, and energy bring positive change your workplace?
 
5. Moving forward, how can you use what was said in the video to "create something awesome"?

1. Name a time you did spent money on someone just to be nice. And how did it make you feel?

2. In the video he talks about the experiment they did when they handed out money to people on the street and told them to spend it one someone else. How would you spend the money and why?

3. Do you agree with what he is saying that money does buy happiness you are just not spending it right?

4. If you were given $1000 dollars how would you spend it to make someone/ or a group of people's day happier?

We are all told leading successfully is one of the biggest impacts you can make to the world , but  forgetting to support the leaders around is forgotten. Why is creating a movement so underrated in our society? Why is being the first follower so difficult? What skill is most important to being the first believer? Have you ever been the first follower and when? Why is this form of movement so much easier to do when your a child?  :)

1.       Rocky describes the world as a very cruel and heartless place. Do you believe this? Do you believe that the world is generally bad or generally good? Explain yourself.
2.       Rocky says that cowards blame others on their failures. Do you believe that someone who blames others can be a leader or must they take the responsibility? Explain yourself.
3.       He states “if you know what your worth, then go get what your worth”. When he said that did you take it figuratively meaning that someone is only worth so much or did you take it metaphorically meaning that you are worth as much as you think you are? Why?
4.       For someone to be a leader must the person be able too “take the hits” as Rocky said? Why?

Questions:
As a leader why is asking for help important from time to time? What are some benefits and disadvantages that come with seeking out help from others?
Caroline was told to she was legally blind but she didn't allow that to stop her from living her life, why is self-motivation and belief in yourself a quality that one should posses?
Why is it important to understand no one is perfect? Why should a leader understand and recognize their own flaws? How can seeing this in yourself benefit you for the future? Is there a problem with admitting failure?
The eye specialist told Caroline "I think it's time to stop fighting and do something different", what might your something different be? What might you change about yourself or your life to better yourself or life?

1. Do you think that pain and failure has to be part of the process to become an effective leader? 
2. Do you believe that everyone has the potential to become a leader if they push themselves enough? Are there just some people who aren't meant to lead?
3. Do you think that it's fair to categorize "winners" and "losers" when choosing who to surround yourselves with in order to succeed? Will you need to change your entire life to become determined to follow your dream?
4. Have you ever had to pursue a task that nobody thought was possible for you to achieve?
5. Do you think "taking the first step" would be an easy thing to do? Would it be something that you think could be done over night or is it something
