The UN Plan for Your Mental Health link

In 1946 my first grade school teacher told us that within 50 years we would see a man on the moon, she also told us that there would be a shortage of oil and other energy sources. This teacher was probably getting paid about $2000 per year at the time. She is comfortabily retired at this time and just watching her former students perform. What did I learn from her? How to read, how to write, how to reason, simple logic and that life is not all about me. Thank god for this lady, she is still a pillar of wisdom.
