PHILOSOPHY

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."- Harold Whitman(borrowing from Whitman for the moment)to quote a good friend: "I enjoy the company of people who enjoy life." well said JP

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh so many...How about this... In Costa Rica, years ago, our bus fell into a ditch. In the US, people would likely complain, ask for a refund, find a new ride etc... But there, on this occasion, we all piled out of the bus and each and every one of us, from different cultures and backgrounds, in a concerted effort, worked together and pushed that giant bus up and out of the ditch. A testiment to the power of working together!
