Why I am passionate about education?

Let me start by apologizing. English is not my first language and I have to admit I speak english like a horse.

I never liked school. I am dyslexic and with ADD. I finished school and started my own business at the age of 19. Then you get into life and forget school until .... you go it, until you have kids.

 When I had my first kid 10 years ago I started questioning myself about the fact that we are not providing our kids with the right tools to face life. After working for 25 years with top executives around the world in over a dozen countries, I got to a simple conclusion: We need more happy people in our planet. Sounds naive? Maybe, but just think about it: A CEO with the power to influence thousands of people, with a big fat paycheck at the end of each month and living by antidepressants and anxiety drugs. It is non-sense. It will affect his family, his work environment and his community.... non-sense. And why? Probably because at the age of 13 to 16 he didn't got the chance to figure out what was his real passion in life, what does he really like to do, what brings him joy, happiness and satisfaction and how to get the right tools to turn that passion into his way of living.

 I don't know about you but every time I look at my kids I think that I want them to be happy, I want them to realize that 80% of their conscious life as an adult they will spend working and I can't help by wonder: If they spend this 80% doing what they like the most, do they have a better chance to be happy? If they do, is this going to positive affect their families and communities? Not sure but WHY NOT trying?

What I am doing today with my team is working hard to help as many teens we can to discover this simple fact and get the right skills to awake the potential and talents every kid have within. Why us? .... Well, why not?

The CUBE now

What would you do with your life if you had Batman's belt?

Batman is my favorite super hero. He is just a regular guy (super billionaire by the way) with a crazy training routine and a pocket full of "toys". His most powerful "toy" is his belt. Batman's belt holds all kinds of weapons. When Batman goes out to fight crime, he always wears his belt.  He feels confident dealing with adversity because he knows he is wearing his belt.

Throughout life we need to deal difficult situations as well. Probably not like Batman, but sooner or later we'll find out that life can punch us in the face. Day to day we leave home to complete "missions", fight the "bad guys" and deal with real "scary" challenges such us: ask for a raise to your boss, find a new job, motivate your teammates, close that big sale, fix your marriage or get along with your teen son/daughter… or sometimes, we simply we feel lost. Sometimes we don't even know who "the bad guy" is or what is the "challenge". We do not know what to do with our life…

Have you ever got lost driving around your City?

What do you feel in that situation?

Frustration, anger, anxious? Helpless, irritated, mad and maybe even fear?

If that is what you feel when you are lost driving in a city, imagine what  you feel when you are lost in life.

At the end it's about balance and that is why we decided to build the ultimate Batman's belt:  The CUBE.

The CUBE is full of skills, skills you will need in order to accomplish your day to day challenges. Communication skills, creativity skills, energy skills and of course self-leadership skills so we can learn how to manage our own life and our influence on others.

Do you want to try our Batman's belt? Please do. Come and visit us at:www.thecubenow.com and follow us in Twitter @thecubenow Instagram and like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cube-Now/695780637220959?fref=ts

Once you have the skills, once you wear your "belt", you will hit the streets every day with a completely different level of confidence. Train your body, train your brain, get your skills set together and move your life to the next level .... just like Batman.
