On a journey to change the world...

Several years ago I walked into a book store with a friend, browsing as I usually do, picking up a book here and there, reading a sentence or a paragraph, looking over the contents page, when I happen upon David Bornstein's How To Change The World. I read a little here and there and returned it to the shelf. A week later, I went back to buy the book. This isn't where it all started, but it was one of those times in life where I felt I was reminded by destiny what was important to me. Even with the stories of others making big changes in front of me, I wondered how one person amongst billions on this planet, can truly make a difference. How can I make a difference? I don't have many resources, nor do I know anyone particularly influential, how can I be a part of the solution? I know now I am not the only one asking these kinds of questions.

The last couple of months I have spent in the class called "How to Change the World" provided by Wesleyan University, made available free internationally thanks to coursera.org, which I stumbled upon in my search for free education online. I was pretty ecstatic when I found out more than fifty-five thousand students had signed up for the course. Finally, I was not feeling so alone. It was in this course that I found out all it takes is a few inspired and determined individuals to get the billions on board with the ideas that will determine the course of our future generations.

I created this blog as an avenue for discussion about major global issues that are facing our home planet and to find a community that cares and wants to evolve sensibly, with eco-friendly sustainable developments, ethically sound markets and governments, wide spread education, and a cooperative effort for truth, justice, and peace.

Sounds a bit idealistic? Of course! But every dream has a truth to it and even what people considered complete science fiction in the past, is now a normal part of our reality. Any accomplishment first starts with imagination!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy learning and sharing your own perspectives about the subjects that I bring to light in the coming weeks.
