“Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man.
A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the New World, and 32-year-old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that all men are created equal. ‘Give me a place to stand,’ said Archimedes, ‘and I will move the world.’
These men moved the world, and so can we all."
~ Robert F. Kennedy, 20th century US political leader
Well, if that doesn’t move you, I don’t know what will.
Let’s quit thinking it’s “someone else” who’ll be the one to make a difference and move the world.
It’s our time.
Let’s do it.
