Seeing dinosaurs for the first time in my forties
Yes finally at age 41 I get to see real dinosaur bones here In Toronto ,Canada in the Royal Ontario Museum.
What was the experience like? It was magical. Imagine they had lived centuries ago and for me to be so blessed to see them was an experience like no other. I felt like a child once more. 
As I peruse them one by one I can't help recreate the scenes from the famous movie Jurassic in my head. Boy they were jawdropping large and terrifying. 
One can only imagine how it would be like if we have them now. I wouldn't want to be in their menu .Or be stepped on by them. Most likely we would never even have descent and peaceful neighborhoods to live on. 
The sheer size and the menacing look meant terror yet cartoons had depicted them into adorable characters like Barney .So this goes without saying that while most of them were predators some were herbivore and most likely not territorial or beastly.Whatever their eating habits is I find it impossible for humans and these dinosaurs to coexist considering their ain't a technology yet to contain them from harming humans and vice versa.
The fact they didn't make it to the turn of the modern century ,proves to us that change is the most constant thing in the world.
As you walk through the museum you'd see small bits and pieces of evolutionary adaptations that lead to some of our current animal specie.
This lead me believe the common cliche"adapt or go extinct ".The Evolution Theory of Charles Darwin is quite true to some degree.
In the corporate world specifically it's not the smartest or the strongest that gets the top spot but the one who has good ear for the changes around him or her and the necessary actions to be taken in reaction to those. Diplomats get paid more than military commanders and managers are better compensated than the consruction workers for example.
Thus to me soft skills is a mandatory survival skills everyone should develop as we cannot nip each others head off at heated debates. We cannot rely on our physical strength alone as often it will lead to our demise. Just see what havoc atomic war makes for imagination. 
While I inspect one to another I can't help think if in the future humans will face the same fate. With the climate change issues ever so pressing ,my knees wiggle a bit at the thought we can be at the tipping point of our existence..
Maybe the animated movie Land Before time together with other futuristic movies of similar theme wasn't just a pigment of imagination.
Though globally we are one in reducing our carbon footprints maybe it ain't enough to save our planet and us. 
The idea of dying a very painful death from the wrath of nature is hair raising. The suffering it can lead to is unspeakable.. So I hope while kids visit this museum may they understand why we need to take seriously our role to be a great steward of this one and only habitat we call Earth
I wish that as these future leaders leave the museum doors may they take with them not just the science behind the fossils discovery but also the wisdom it provides for our continued survival.
