Wow.. What a discussion! Hat's off to Saveen, our fellow Toastmasters Champion Speaker, for hosting this. Dan, we simply love you! You're an idol not only for us in Sri Lanka, but for all those who seek to unleash their true potential.
As a Mam, 😀 I am so so proud of you Saveen ❤ can imagine how proud your Mom must be😊 Dan's philosophy of "speaking the universal truth" but touching the unique truth of the listener is what makes both of you a treasure 🎉 His sharing on impressing his father reminded me of your TEDx Talk on your "father taking you on a trip...a guilt trip"😂 Like Maya Angelo writes, "The essence escapes but the aura remains"🙌🏻 In a world where "instant" seems to work more that "impact" may we have more of such Conversations, more power to both of you👍🏻
I saw so many things in you!!!, Wow.... What a conversation!!👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Very deep 🧡 Continuous iteration, quantum leap, reprogramming internal stories...... I could connect many dots .... after listening to this podcast 🤝 Saveen, Thanks a lot bringing Dhananjaya on board 🎉
54-55 mins is indeed thought provoking, Saveen. Super honest people are rarely materially successful, it has always been the case, but perhaps it will get much worse as Dananjaya so well articulates. Danajaya's success opened the door to others from non western countries in the world speech champiosnhip. That's wonderful, reminds me of how the children of israel started killing giants in war after david killed goliath. Life of no regret is the ideal, but could any human live life and make decisions without any regrets? That's a question to Dananjaya. This is a philosophical question but, well, humans can also potentially downplay what shoudl be their regrets. That said, I do think humans can live with minimal regrets and have "mostly no regrets". I watched Dananjaya's "I see something in you". It was absolutely well delivered and I think that world championship for sure has opened him up to all the best things the world has to offer in his speaking and coaching profession. Overall, thanks for this interview, it was great. Finally, before I forget, of course, billionaires don't have any urge to teach their kids math or anything that will "earn them a lucrative job" in tech or other areas. Why should they? Arent't they already having money that their 10th generation can't seem to exhaust? So yes it's apparent they won't teach them math or anything like that. If the kids want to study arts, study dogs, or not study anything at all, there is no problem. But this point of art cannot be said of the large majority of the world, can't go to the 99.99% of the world's population's who are trying to do something that will make them good enough to earn a living. So yes, very well heeled people in the society have the liberty to do whatever the masses in the majority can't do. Nice interview, thanks for sharing
