I follow a few other blogs (and thank you to my few followers and those who leave comments! I appreciate it!) and today was quite the study in contrast. One is a guy who comments on things economic, and today obviously provided him quite a bit of material.
Then I read Dan Pink's post, and I stopped everything I was doing to consider what he said. The title of his post is The 44-cent solution and you can read it here:
Dan Pink's Blog
I run a couple businesses and am an aspiring philanthropist, and I am clear that this fundamental premise should be one of my guiding principles:
Doing great work is tough, of course. But sometimes it’s possible to do really good work — remarkable things that make us saw “Wow” — for just 44 cents.
The point, of course, is not to do things on the cheap, but that little things, seemingly insignificant things, make a difference. And sometimes that difference is huge.
Makes me even more committed to my little project. Each child and each family we end up reaching will make a difference, maybe even a huge one.
