What Do You Make?

At work yesterday, someone sent out an email that had a link to a poem by a slam poet named Taylor Mali where he encourages us to speak in declarative statements. It's very motivating and I highly suggest anyone that cares about how they present themselves in daily conversation to check it out. However, I also searched on youtube after seeing this video and found another poem of Taylor's. It's about a dinner party he attended where a lawyer is criticizing teachers and then asks Taylor (who is a teacher) to be honest and say what he makes (i.e. $$). It's a great video and you should check it out as well. It really doesn't matter how much money you make as long as you believe that what you're doing is making a difference in the world. Some people choose their career to make their mark. Others have a job or a business, and choose to invest their time into a non-profit organization or charity and make a difference. Many others just don't make a difference at all and become a burden to society. I've chosen a slightly different path just because I feel that in the grand scheme of things, it will help me make the greatest difference in the world in the grand scheme of things.

Cheers everyone. Have a great weekend!
