The world needs more YOU!

  • The world needs more YOU in it.

  • In her speeches, Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund, reminds us that a lot of people these days are still waiting for Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi to come back- but they are gone.  We are it.  It is up to us now.  It is up to you.  More than ever before, our world needs more goodness, more kindness, more caring, more action, more YOU in it.

  • John F. Kennedy said once that one person can make a difference, and every person must try.  What if each of us really tried?  What if each of us spontaneously decided that, one by one, we really can be the better world we wish for?

  • This is our time,
  • yours and mine.

  • You have important discoveries to make.
  • Now is the time to make them.

  • You have important talents to develop.
  • Now is the time to develop them.

  • You have important gifts to give the world.
  • Now is the time to give them.
