A ripple of hope

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Robert Kennedy's death. The following words were typical of the man and have been quoted often in various media of late particularly as likely Democratic nominee for President of the United States Barak Obama is seen as the great hope by many in that country and perhaps the world.

Each time a man stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

May everything each of us does today and everyday be a ripple of hope that joins with other ripples and becomes a non-violent torrent that sweeps away all the ills of our world and ushers in our new world.

"Everyone changes the world"

“Everyone changes the world.” said Steven Spielberg in a recent interview for the Weekend Australian with Helen Trinca. Spielberg also said

“Everybody makes a difference. Everybody’s existence is linked to the common stranger …That was the basis on which I wanted to make Schlinder’s List: that we all matter, that we all count, that we make contributions even if we spend our own life never realising that we matter.”

These are powerful words. When we take them to heart and take action in our own way, we are building our new world.

Marshall Goldsmith's book highly recommended

I have just finished reading this brilliant book 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There' and highly recommend it to you as one of the most insightful books I have ever read on executive coaching. Check out Marshall's blog here.
