I do believe that it is extremely important that each one of us is a participant in life and what's going on around us rather than being a spectator to it. If you do that, if you participate in the world, in your community, your school, your company, or your country, whatever they are, you will be useful and hopefully leave the planet a little better Janet Holmes a Court |
