DO YOUR PART
At age 13, Alison Steiglitz of Miami, Florida, decided she wanted to feed the hungry on Thanksgiving Day, so she used money given to her as bat mitzyah gifts to distribute 15 Thanksgiving dinners to elderly homeless people. Today the organization that Alison helped to create serves breakfast and lunch to more than 250 people every Sunday.
Alison is certainly doing her part. You can do yours, too. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. Life in the third millennium will necessarily have to include social action by individual initiative. So you may start thinking about it right now. Start by defining the problem you would like to solve. There are all sorts of problems around you. Just pick one and aim your efforts in that direction.
Consider different solutions. Ask people around you for their ideas. Don’t be afraid to consider even the craziest ideas Find out who opposes your ideas. Meet with these people and try to win them over. Spread the word. Call your local TV and radio station and ask to speak to a reporter. Tell them what you’re doing. Invite them to come visit you and your friends to film your activities. Be a bigmouth – tell everyone about your activities. You never know who might be able to help.
No matter how much you care, you can’t change the world by yourself. Do everything you can to find others who feel the same way you do about these issues and combine efforts. Even if you find yourself working with people you don’t like, learn to get along with them for the purpose of accomplishing your goal.
Choose a plan and make it happen. You can solve a big problem by breaking it into smaller problems. And, most of all, hang in there! Don’t give up if things don’t go your way. If your solution fails, find out why and use what you’ve learned to develop a new solution.
