Excellent stuff!
Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times….
“When we were young kids growing up in America, we
were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not
leave them. Mothers said, ‘think of the starving
children in India and finish the dinner.’ And now I
tell my children: ‘Finish your maths homework. Think
of the children in India who would make you
starve, if you don’t.'”
