At my high school, we were required to complete 10 hours of community service in order to receive an honors diploma. I fulfilled my hours by feeding the destitute in a local soup kitchen, cleaning and planting in the fresh air as part a park beautification project, and finally (and more prosaically) stuffing envelopes for a human rights group. It was an interesting and eye-opening experience. I felt both a rush of empowerment and an enhanced appreciation for the tremendous difficulties and beautiful possibilities out there in the world beyond my teenage bubble.

Yesterday I watched a TEDx talk by Tony Robbins. TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out as a conference bringing people together from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Today you can find archives of talks on almost any topic you can imagine. Below is Tony Robbin's talk called "Why Do We Do What We Do?"
Friends,
It's not often you see famed international musician YOSHIKI, in the dark glasses, mingling with NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo. Or see former Vice President Dan Quayle and former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn sharing a smile. It's probably not a surprise to know that the Today Show's Al Roker, along with wife Deborah Roberts of 20/20, can work a room.
