What difference do you want to make in the world?

Asked by dreamwolf (3163points) September 15th, 2011

What are you studying, doing to make our world a better place? We know some people are too humble, but just have a scientific mindset on just state what you are into or are doing to make a difference, big or small. Let’s change the world for the better!

I try to smile at everyone I see to bring a little happiness into their day. You never know if you are the only one who’s shown someone a kindness that day and sometimes that is just what they need.

How to be humble and appreciative of what you do have. It all comes down to one word….Mindfulness. Check it out you will be glad you did!! ;)

My personal answer is that it is all already being done. There’s no doing to do other than finding things to be and enjoy. Of course, putting that into practice requires a switch from long held beliefs.

@XD Well where I’m from, South East San Diego, trust me there are a lot of people not doing all they can to become better. Drugs + no hope= lack of motivation to be involved with the community in a positive manner.

And why is that?

dreamwolf's avatar

@XD Perhaps because South East San Diego is particularly a transformation town. This is to say, most people are either Navy living there for about 6 months and leave or most citizens are from foreign countries learning how to settle in the U.S. for the first time. No continuity I believe. It’s gotten better, I can’t deny that. But for the most part, the older youth, have a huge grasp on drug life mentality. Recently there was a craigslist set up. Where some teens got a person from high class town to come down and they actually killed him. It’s that kind of town.

The thing that keeps my going through my Law course is the prospect of helping people improve their lives and learn from their mistakes.

For now, I try to be a bit involved in politics, and I aim to be a good role model for the younger kids I meet through my work.

There is still so much to do before we can say we live in a fair world. I am so fortunate to have been given the opportunities I have been given, and I believe that they came to me with the responsibility to use them so that I can help others less fortunate in turn.

I’m going to study robotics engineering at college and the big dream, the “stretch goal,” is to design rovers for NASA. I would love to play a part in collecting knowledge about what might be out there on other planets.

I also want to dedicate a significant part of my life raising awareness and funds towards autoimmune disease.

Most of what I do serves to keep away the rent keeper. I am a selfish person with no drive or desire, and I wait for the Reaper to take me to Hell. I have no goals otherwise, and I serve no greater purpose.

However, if zombies would show up, my existence would then have meaning.

I’m raising three great kids to be thoughtful, decent human beings.
