How can the slight edge principles be applied to children as they are developing their knowledge and the way they process knowledge through the k-12 stage of their life, and how can this be incorporated for teachers and administrators who will ultimately create the culture for the children to learn the slight edge philosophy?

Teens really need to be shown how to get this success mindset, wow this could be so life changing for so many! Kudos to all involved. I have contacted my high school and church about it. Pass the word along, make the world a better place!

  Everytime I go through a drive-through or other business that commonly employs teenagers, I often take the chance when opportunity presents itself to order something extra at the last minute & say something about how that will increase sales (or something else that makes sense at the time).
