How I changed the World Today

http://www.bjancy.blogspot.com

Every day I wake up determined to both change the world and have a good time. Sometimes that makes planning the day a bit difficult. Here I blog about all the things I do every day to change the world and make it a slightly better place.

    To find a Kiva loan today, I sorted by age and chose one of the older loans. It has 14 days left. Its for $1200 and 18 months, and he is a repeat borrower. I'm thinking that's why its not as popular. But I'm sure it will get funded.Ismail Movludov i...

I woke up today with thoughts about the movie I saw last night, Stop-Loss. I called the Marine Recruiting office to sign up, reenlist. I'm 62 in good health and feel so bad about the young men and women fighting our (older people) war. We got into and they are fighting it. I want to do something. I filed out application on line moments ago. I know they are going to say, WHAT? but I'm going to try. I've had a good life, maybe some young man or woman will be able to rotate out. I can drive a truck, I'm a personnel recruiter by trade, I teach in the evenings. My wife Susan can take care of our home an grandkids and help out maybe at the VA Hospital. That's where I'm going after I finish this note. I just found the address, I'm in Houston. I've never been on a chat room like this before, I stumbled on it doing a little research about Vietnam this morning after listening to an interview on the radio, featured guest, Fred Smith CEO of Fedex. Amazing information. Thanks for your time and listening to me. Hope all of you are doing well.

We all think of good health, good friends, good times, no conflicts, no fights, no war .. and so on. Just if we think similar for the whole of mankind then the world will be a very nice place to stay.

Keep up your good work :)

Andrew Sheldon Said:

I disagree with 'friend4all' I think changing the world involves both, so go for it!
It goes without saying that we should change ourselves, but is not success in your personal life about reaching out/embracing others in some sense, with a sense of efficacy, whether we are just relating or selling a product useful to others. Does it need to be about money?
