How the Past Can Help Us Face an Uncertain Future

演讲人：Mr. Chad Glass

Mr. Chad Thomas Thomas Glass is enjoying his second year as an English teacher at Beijing Normal University, Zhuhai. Hailing from small town Wisconsin in the USA, he has always had a thirst for adventure since childhood when he was a voracious reader. He has lived and worked abroad for more than seven years, and has traveled to more than 30 countries where he has soaked in the local cultures and collected stories from the locals he has met. As a writer in his spare time, he has always felt that each life has a story just waiting to be told.

演讲内容简介：

Many people are concerned about the increase of natural disasters and the mysterious Mayan predictions about 2012. What will the future hold? What is our fate? Is the end of the world coming?

As well, true stories from the lecturer''s ancestry and family history will emphasize the truly unique facts of each person''s existence, and why we should face the future with hope rather than fear.
