This morning at one of the general sessions at the conference, a guest speaker highlighted a quote from the famous anthropologist Margaret Mead.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
Anytime I travel alone, I tend to stay close to my hotel room. I like to explore new cities, but not by myself. Tonight I find myself alone at "my" desk, reviewing for tomorrow and catching up on work e-mails. The rain is splattering against my 15th story window. Its how I prefer to spend the evening.
When I'm alone in my room, my mind always wanders to my work, to my life, to whatever I'm doing at the present time. I feel inspired to write something down, but I'm not quite sure what. I keep repeating the quote in my head, wondering if I will ever be part of something world changing. Will the work I do count for anything? I hope so.

We all wonder what impact we'll have.
