gambling games. I myself do not play casino, and gambling games.

> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>
> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who died before
> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is the most
> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and if you are
> not working on that, why aren?t you??
> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and working at a
> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade, but
> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the world.?
> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger issues in
> the world, or that they don?t care.
> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to them
> and what they can do about it.
> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the issue? And
> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want to
> spend your time working on?
> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open yourself
> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might be new,
> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at a
> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the Thai-Burma
> border. There was no running water, no electricity. We sat on the bare
> floors of their thatched huts. I listened to their stories of their lives.
> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing traditional
> folk songs.
> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no temptation to
> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms. I was one of the very few
> who did not have a job upon graduation. I continued to write and
> eventually fell into journalism. I was so grateful that I had found
> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make a
> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet about
> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
> Be Curious?Say Yes
> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and tour
> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the people
> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest Action
> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If there?s a
> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic fibrosis and
> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the discussion.
> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided bird-watching
> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are building
> more public access trails.
> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn more
> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a national
> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home. Get
> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see a
> movie.
> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at the
> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people get
> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer counsellor to
> at-risk young people.
> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable skill
> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even if

> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I visited

>
> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most: ?By

>> So, if you missed this call then shame on you!
