Like many young people, I believe I have potential to make a positive impact in the world.
There's a good amount of research out there that shows generous parental leave policies have a significant positive impact on employee retention and morale.
Federal rules and regulations too often become seemingly insurmountable obstacles to simple changes that can have a positive impact.
What I strive for is that everywhere I go, I leave a positive impact.
I'm hoping that these next 20 years will show what we did 20 years ago in sequencing the first human genome, was the beginning of the health revolution that will have more positive impact in people's lives than any other health event in history.
Healthy children are born from healthy, respected, well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future, the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.
But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.
Design can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods.
