Try to do for the next generation of church leaders what the previous generation of church leaders has not done for you.

The most significant visions are not cast by great orators from a stage. They are cast at the bedsides of our children. The greatest visioncasting opportunities happen between the hours of 7:30 and 9:30 PM Monday through Sunday. In these closing hours of the day we have a unique opportunity to plant the seeds of what could be and what should be. Take every opportunity you get.
Interpretation
Great visions are often shared in intimate moments with children, not just in grand speeches.
This quote emphasizes the importance of nurturing and sharing impactful ideas and visions during the everyday interactions with our children. Andy Stanley suggests that the most critical opportunities for influencing the future lie not in public speaking but in the quiet, formative hours spent with the younger generation, particularly in the evening when families come together. This underscores the role of parenting and guidance in shaping the values and aspirations of the next generation.

We are human behind and this part of our human nature that we don't learn the importance of anything until it's snatched from our hands. In Pakistan, when we were stopped from going to school, and that time I realized that education is very important, and education is the power for women. And that's why the terrorists are afraid of education. They do not want women to get education because then women will become more powerful.
In law, as in every other branch of knowledge, the truths given by induction tend to form the premises for new deductions. The lawyers and the judges of successive generations do not repeat for themselves the process of verification any more than most of us repeat the demonstrations of the truths of astronomy or physics.
I was unloading sides of beef down on the docks when I decided enough was enough. By then, I'd done a lot of reading on my own, so I persuaded New York University to enroll me.
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.
