Who said that.

I am not complacent at all John. I have gone
through experiences such as this for a very long
time. I know I am right. I make the good
argument, write the wise articles, and the
persuasive letters. And sometimes I feel as
though I am preaching to a stack of wood. People
do not easily embrace change. Convincing them to
turn in a new direction requires a patience and
persistence that tax everyone. It does not help
matters that the course we are attempting to
follow could get us all hanged
Ben Franklin talking to John Adams , June 7, 1776

Zach started his own nonprofit organization four
years ago after a hurricane hit Florida. He asked
his mother if they could donate their water
bottles, and he gathered more from neighbors, an
earnest little redheaded boy pulling his red
wagon behind him. By the end, they had 27
truckloads of aid.

Zach has met three presidents and was invited to
President George W. Bush's farewell address this
winter. Last night, he was scheduled to visit
Elton John at his concert at Nationals Park and
accept a 25,000 check. And an Emmy-award winning
journalist, Michael Guillen, is making a 5
million film about the Little Red Wagon.

Your World

Will you be the 10th person?

For every nine people who denounce innovation,
only one will encourage it.
For every nine people who do things the way they
have always been done, only one will ever wonder
if there is a better way.
For every nine people who stand in line in front
of a locked building, only one will ever come
around and check the back door.
Our progress as a species rests squarely on the
shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are
satisfied with things they are told are valuable.
Person 10 determines for himself what has value.
