Don’t lose hope.  Many things are going well.  Many people around the world are laughing and smiling and fulfilling their dreams.  But others are not.  In the slums of Nairobi entrepreneurs innovate but struggle for capital to start their ideas.  In South Africa children in rural areas are taught by those educated under apartheid’s Bantu education, and as a result they don’t learn as much as those in the urban areas.  In the tea gardens of northeast India the Tea Community still lacks the basic sanitation taken for granted by their Assamese neighbors.  In Malaysia policy makers struggle between uniting a nation under a common language and preserving the cultures of different ethnic groups.  In New Orleans a child’s future is determined by the lottery telling them which school they get to attend.  People need opportunities.  People need the will to keep going.  We have to find a way of doing things that is better than the way we are doing them now.  If we want to get a better result we have to try again.  But we can’t try again and do things the same way we did it this time.  If we do things the same way, we will get the same result.  We have to keep at it and try again, but we have to try again differently.
