Let things bother you. The times today are too dangerous for the young and the smart to be not bothered.

We need to take things personally. We need to stop putting profits above people. We need to stop putting greed above need. We need to stop putting the rule of gold above the golden rule. We need to treat people as people and not as problems.

I sometimes wonder how powerful are those Fortune 500 CEOs who can can’t even change the way that list looks (leave aside how the world looks). And, I wonder what message do we send to our young girls, in classrooms across the world, who work as hard as our young boys but see only 20 CEOs out of those 500 who look like them.

Success for me hasn't been about individual success. It's about the success of all those young boys and girls who I have the honor of working with.

Be Practical." That's probably the most stupid piece of advice I've ever received in my life.

Change needs us. Change needs people who are willing to invest themselves and their time and their energy and all that they can in making it happen. And, remember, if we don’t quit; if we choose to walk the more difficult path; if we refuse to give up, no matter how long the road or how steep the climb; we will make change happen.

I know there are days when we want to be liked by others a little more than we want to change the world. But, if we decided to speak up a little more and hesitate a little less, we will begin making ripples of change.

Very often we sit back thinking good things will happen, knowing that good things take time and hoping that someone else will do it. The world needs us!

Intent matters. Integrity matters. Courage matters. If you have the three, nothing else matters
