13 Excuses That Will Destroy Your Dreams

07.18.10 Posted in Self-development by Adam Wozniak

How often have you told yourself this: “I’d LOVE to pursue my dream … BUT …

1) I’m not an expert
2) I’m too young/too old
3) People tell me to get a “real job”
4) It’s tough in the “current climate”
5) People don’t support my dream
6) What if I fail?
7) I don’t have time
8) I don’t like people

“Child Soldiers” university lectures

07.18.10 Posted in Projects by Adam Wozniak

During my time as a university teacher from 2007 – 2010, I had the opportunity to teach many different topics. One topic that I became interested in was that of “child soldiers”.

Having admittedly never heard much about this subject before, I went about researching it in as much depth as I could, so as to present two major lectures on this issue. What I discovered was truly shocking, and simply confirmed my beliefs about how lucky many of us are to never have been subjected to the day-to-day struggles of people and children in unstable, war-torn countries.

My research culminated in two major lectures at university in 2008, and are most likely the only lectures of this sort in Australia. To help spread this issue further, I made videos of my lectures available online. As far as I know, these are the only lecture videos of this sort on the entire web.

I encourage you to check out both lectures below, and I hope it brings continual awareness to the many problems encountered in some of the more difficult areas of our planet.
