You should read this article in the New York Times. It’s about a new Charter School that opened up in the Bronx. I think it’s amazing how some people sit and complain while others decide to take charge. The world would never improve if we all did nothing more than whining and thanks to the boom in the Economy, fewer and fewer young people choose their life according to their ideals. Most people go where the money is and stay there until more money shows up somewhere else.
When I switched from a full-time job to a part-time one, giving up quite a sum of money, to spend a bit more time volunteering and learning, people looked at me like I was insane. There are two kinds of people in the world, it seems; those who want to help the world and those who wish to climb the corporate ladder. These two don’t mix. Except in my case, where they do. I wish more people did both because sometimes the connections in the corporate world have the monetary power to make things happen.
When was the last time you volunteered?
