That the only thing you can ever really control is yourself (if that) and that your highest aspiration every day should be to be kind to everyone you meet – particularly those that need it the most. I believe that the future is sustainable, equitable, and prosperous and will be driven by the rapid adoption of radical innovations at the local level.
