We think that history is created in the big things, in the big events, but history is also created in the small things that we do every day, in the personal choices we make– to think or not to think, to hold our tongues or to speak up, to act or not to act. Our actions have a ripple effect on those around us. Every time we conform or don't, we're shaping the world into our vision or someone else's vision. The universe isn't made up of atoms it's made up of stories, and these stories are shaped in college campuses and coffee houses around the country, not just in boardrooms and government buildings. .

We are our own worst enemies, if we are always looking out for ourselves, trying to do for ourselves, doing what is good for us. We are our worst enemies because we are our own worst friends. The best way to keep ourselves from being our worst enemies is to be our best friends.
