#36 FLEX your identity: як програми обміну сприяють розширенню горизонтів

Пам'яті мого батька / In memory of my father. Якісні зміни середовища довкола, мандрівки та програми обміну дозволяють з юного віку вивчати щось незвичне та формувати фундамент дорослої особистості (українською - тут https://exchangemepodcast.com/ua/stories/xme3). In this episode recorded for Exchange Me Podcast, we reflect on some curious flashbacks of the high school & university days and discuss the ways in which exchange programs like FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) help teenagers and young adults to experiment, explore their interests & build a solid foundation to the further well-being. Now you, my listeners will get to know a bit more about some of my formative years in youth as well.

Some other quotes that Roman cited:

“If you let your learning lead to knowledge, you become a fool. If you let your learning lead to action, you become wealthy,” — Jim Rohn;

Rich equals to current income while wealth is unspent or hidden income;

“Wealth creation is not an end… It's a crucial aspect of achieving a person's purposeful life.”

So wealth can help you provide meaning by helping others and building your own good life. More in this summary: “Prosperity is a combination of health, wealth, happiness, and love.” “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”
