 The history of mankind is written in terms of wars and conflicts. The history of the organized religion is written in splits and divisions. The history of economics is written in the poverty of the many, in spite of all the advances in science and engineering. Even education has slipped from its natural purpose of supporting the maturation of the next generation to the passage of knowledge. All these are missing is people working together to gain what all people value. If there is anything of great value to gain in this series of presentations, it will be realized in how you deal with associations. It will be found in your orientation to performance thinking. It will be witnessed in use of techniques such as the black box for seeing a clear path to the betterment of all humanity. Without this, associations are just amorphous categories of people selected by accident of where they live. As long as such groups have no central purpose to fulfill, they can be misled into conflicts, can be divided, can be impoverished, and dominated by the few who are so bold as to set themselves in charge. Having a consistent performance purpose, something to gain through the efforts of the association raises the potential of even diverse people coming together to gain what all people can value. The word for this effort is management. Having a shared public purpose such as family, freedom, or prosperity provides the basis for performance management. It opens a way for an educated public to intelligently and intentionally set their own direction for the future. This has been a constant theme throughout these presentations, coming together for what people value is a win-win approach. And for members of an association, it is a win-win for everyone, not just for the special people who most need or most deserve to receive benefits. Our history is written in divisions and conflicts, and conflicts kill performance. The value for you in your teenage years is not found in drawing associations to purpose. Your part is growing into an effective adult. It is learning to be part of that future public that will be able to draw associations to purpose. It is in learning to be that performance unit of the future. It is learning that you can direct your own efforts to coming together with other members of your nation, your face, your communities, or your economies. It is seeing where the value is and being able to help others see it and to know that they can share in the benefits of a managed corporate effort. For your teenage years, your part is to learn, to gain what you need to be an effective adult. It is to learn to be that effective citizen who can come together with other citizens to assure family, freedom, and prosperity. Is how to for gaining win-win results for everyone. It is to learn to be effective working as an adult who can come together with other workers and with investors and leaders to see to the economic welfare of everyone. It is to learn to be an effective parent of the next generation who can come together to assure even greater educational results for your children. All these become possible when you learn to be an effective adult. It is not that you will resolve every issue and lead humanity to win-win resolutions. It is that you will become the effective adult who is there to see when and where there are performance opportunities that should be the basis for your commitments. It is to intentionally and intelligently invest your time and effort in those things that are best able to benefit you, your families, and your next generation. It all starts with you as a unit of human civilization. Such changes will only happen where you are there to honor, support, and take part in the changes that are win-win efforts. True performance orientation involves you being ready, willing, and able to join with others who have like focus and understanding of the value of the result you seek. And the guide for your part in these larger associations is that human civilization only does what you do, you and people who are like you. Focus on learning now and you can be an active element in everything that gets done.
