You can change the world

What business does a blog about programming and E-Commerce have with posting such blatantly positive and idealistic thoughts?

I’ve worked with a lot of different programmers and tech folks during my career. Without a doubt, it’s a tough racket. The long hours and complex, detail-driven work bends the mind at times. It makes us forget that we’re human and that there’s a big world out there we need to get into and explore before our time is done.

Andrew Galasetti of Lyved posted a fantastic list of things he’s learned over the course of his lifetime over on Dumb Little Man. The 20th is my favorite…

20 Things I’m Glad Life Taught Me:

20. You can change the world: Every single person has the ability to change the world whether directly or indirectly. When you change your life and the lives of those around you, you’ve changed the world. Small things that you do can make a huge impact on the world.

Andrew’s site is pretty cool too. Make sure to check it out if you need a breather from the code and can’t get outside. (although you really ought to get outside, right?)
