>>> >>>>>
>>> >>>>> 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??

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> a
>>> >>>>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> more
>>> >>>>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.

>>> >>>>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a

>>> >>>>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster

>>> >>>>> to
>>> >>>>> at-risk young people.
>>> >>>>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a

>>> >>>>> skill

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines?
>>> >>>>> Volunteer

>>> >>>>> 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

>>> >>>>> if
>>> >>>>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help
