Roy Remer is a man who dedicates himself by using Buddhist teachings to help terminally ill patients e to make their final transition. Basically helping people to accept and move on that life is coming to an end.
quote:"It’s a totally radical concept, and maybe really difficult for people to understand--but [it’s helpful] to practice dying when you’re healthy… This is who I was yesterday, that’s gone. This is who I am today.”
Omar Cardenas is also a man who has lived many physical and psychological violence in life and struggled living with out a mentor to guide him and show him the endless possibilities that life has to offer. After being kicked out of his senior year of high school, he decided to forget about about school for it didn't matter. Not until later that he found his eldest brother intriguing in a conversation of college which he couldn't understand, that what had started a spark in him lighten and wanting to understand he began to attend community college at age 23 and learned a lot about culture. This eventually brought him to dedicate himself in a youth organization (children defense fund) and become a mentor to help guide other students out of their struggles that their culture influenced them.
Quote:“Culture cures us; we heal through culture. We heal through our experiences and our ancestors’ knowledge. I knew that I needed more of that to uplift my spirit, to help me heal from the trauma I experienced growing up.”
Ian Harvie is a man who was born as a girl and had transferred. He had no idea in what he wanted to become in life and found that he wanted to discover more things in life for he wasn't the only one who has these life struggles. What he kept finding surprised him of all possibilities. After a while, he started a company making Web pages until one day postcard of a advertising a comedy-writing classes came in the mail. This grabbed his attention and soon he found himself driving two hours to different places to perform for five minutes, for free. Which later made what he is today, a comedian.
Quote: “Who you are is not up for public debate. Your identity is not up for debate. If you are sharing your story with somebody, it’s inarguable. It’s your story.”
Do any of these career interest you?
To me these kind of careers never really crossed my mind but there is one thing i did know i want to do i want to make sure I'm making a difference for someone around the world.
What did you like/dislike about this episode?
What i didn't like is that i would have loved that the first interview with Roy Remer had been longer and could have explained how he helps the people that comes to him and what is the process but other than that what all three quotes of them said has mad me really feel something inside to trully wants you to do more.
What did they have to offer?
They all gave the advice that one decisions in a career will influence a person one way or another and that can really help people who feel lost and needs someones guidance.
