"The education of tomorrow's leaders will
determine the future, rather than the education of the masses.
"Leadership
determines destiny.
"Leaders select the goals of nations and generations and
determine which paths to take in pursuit of those goals.
"The biography of great
leaders is the history of the world.
"Consider the format of the scriptures of
the world's major religions, or secular histories such as Thucydides, Plutarch
or Durant; the stories of great individuals are the basis of history.
"To know the leaders of the
past is to know the past. Sometimes the leaders are good and sometimes they are
not.
"In the twenty-first century, it falls to us to choose which type of leader
we will produce.
"In our era leadership, and the education which informs and
nurtures it, is no longer a function of blood lines or birthright.
"The wisdom
of the ages is available to anyone willing to pay its price.
"Becoming a leader
capable of impacting our civilization's future is now a choice available to more
of the earth's inhabitants than at any other time. It is your choice.
"Parents, teachers and
educators who choose to become and mentor leaders will construct the future."
