Last time we talked about leaving your grandchildren a legacy.
Today we’ll talk about what else you might do for mankind.
Here are seven challenging thoughts for you as 2008 winds down.
These quotes come courtesy of Texas ad man Roy H. Williams.
"The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who
have sought and found how to serve." — Dr. Albert Schweitzer
"No one wants to hear what you believe. We’re watching. Show us."
— 19th Century novelist Ann Radcliffe
"The first duty of a human being is to find your real job and do it."
– 20th Century social reformer Charlotte Perkins Gilman
"You’re not obligated to win. You’re obligated to keep trying."
– Children’s Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman
"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity."
The great educator Horace Mann’s challenge to all of us.
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world."
— Anne Frank wrote that while hiding from the Nazis.
"Talk is cheap. Small actions, relentless, committed actions
are the signature of people who change the world."
That one’s from Roy Williams, the Wizard of Ads himself.
Here’s my question: How will you change the world in 2009?
Here’s my challenge to you: What are you waiting for?
