You can't know if your values are being violated if you're ambiguous about what they are

The next time you're looking at a charity, don't ask about the rate of their overhead. Ask about the scale of their dreams.

Philanthropy is the market for love. It is the market for all those people for whom there is no other market coming.

Everyone wants charities to spend as little as possible on overhead. That's backwards. Overhead is what drives growth. If charities can't grow, they can't solve problems. So overhead is a good thing. And I'm overhead.

What's important is how we use our time on this earth, not how conspicuously we give our money away. What's important is the energy and courage we are willing to expend reversing entropy, battling cynicism, suffering and challenging mediocre minds, staring down those who would trample our dreams, taking a stand for magic, and advancing the potential of the human race.

Your ability to stand up for your truth is a muscle, and the more you exercise it the stronger it gets.
