I'm relentless in that I deeply believe in people.

The time for change is now.

Each of us can work to change a small portion of events. And it's in the total of all those acts that the history of this generation will be written.

Being poor doesn't mean being ordinary.

How you see where you are always depends on where you've been.

The only way we really create change is to enter any situation with the humility to listen and to recognize the world as it is, and then the audacity to dream what it could be, to have the patience to start and let the work teach you, to be willing to lead when you need to lead, and to listen. To have a sense of generosity and empathy, but not over-empathy, because accountability is so critical to building solutions that work.

By going from the bottom-up again, we see where successes work, and you can also see where the status quo can be the biggest obstacle or roadblock to success. The kind of entrepreneurs in whom we need to invest are the kind who are willing to fight that status quo, bureaucracy, complacency, and corruption.
