Wednesday’s Quote (and thought) of the Day

by joi on October 4, 2006

“Every day I interact with people who are going to use our services or they’re not going to have food.  I see that we’re making their world a better place. I’m hooked on that.

I was reading an article about “Service Learning” - Degrees that allow the graduate to really make a difference.  The author was quoting a recent young graduate of an online nonprofit-management program.

The young man, Aaron, was talking about how great it feels to help people.  The way he worded it and the passion in his words made it clear to me (even at 6:10 am!) that I’d found my quote of the day.

What would happen if we all got hooked on the feeling of improving the lives of others??? Just a thought.
