Ways I would change the world

1. a year of global travel for every person in the world... opening minds, sharing experiences, and building empathy

2. help the lonely among us to feel love... an easy and small step, with life-changing results

3. everyone drives a convertible... world peace ensues

Some that inspire me the most...
