I'm inspired by the people I meet in my travels--hearing their stories, seeing the hardships they overcome, their fundamental optimism and decency. I'm inspired by the love people have for their children. And I'm inspired by my own children, how full they make my heart. They make me want to work to make the world a little bit better. And they make me want to be a better man. Barack Obama

Being able to see the world and the hardships of others is a magnificent experience and helps us understand our own problems better. It also encourages us to make better choices in our lives and not to forget the rest of the world while we concentrate on ourselves.
