I Realized That Even Big Waves Start

In Those Moments When Priorities Clash Always Stay Guided By Your Values, Not Your Perceived Necessities.

My Journey Began With A Single Pencil. While Traveling Through India In 2006, I Asked A Boy Begging On The Streets, 'if You Could Have Anything In The World, What Would You Want?' And He Answered Me With Two Words: 'a Pencil.' Luckily, I Had One In My Pocket, And In The Second It Took Me To Give It To Him, A Defining Dream Was Born.

As Our Values Are The Core To Who We Are As Human Beings, They Are Also The Easiest Way To Identify And Connect With Others In Meaningful Ways. Think About It - Most Political Campaigns Are Based Around Values. Barack Obama's 2008 Election Campaign Galvanized Millions Of Youth Behind Two Very Clear Values - Hope And Change.

For Any Movement To Gain Momentum, It Must Start With A Small Action.

What Can A Pencil Do For All Of Us? Amazing Things. It Can Write Transcendent Poetry, Uplifting Music, Or Life-changing Equations; It Can Sketch The Future, Give Life To Untold Beauty, And Communicate The Full-force Of Our Love And Aspirations.
