March 18, 2014 a project of ServiceSpace How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard - Lessons From 7 Years of Brain Pickings In 2006, Maria Popova shared an idea with a few friends: to start a weekly digest featuring five stimulating things to learn about each week, it could include anything from a breakthrough in neuroscience to a timeless piece of poetry. Brain Pickings was thus born, giving rise to a digital anthology or collage of works of historical and cultural significance. Seven years later, Maria shares reflections and lessons learned from her professional and personal journey with Brain Pickings. Among them: "Be generous with your time and your resources and with giving credit and, especially, with your words. To understand and be understood, those are among life's greatest gifts, and every interaction is an opportunity to exchange them." { read more } Be The Change What lessons have you learned from the past five to ten years of your life?

March 16, 2014 a project of ServiceSpace Invisible threads are the strongest ties. - Friedrich Nietzsche - I'm Just Like You Videographer Ellie Walton flew to Liberia to film a documentary highlighting the beauty and strengths of the children of the Hope for the Deaf School -- children who face immense discrimination and are often abandoned by their families. Coincidentally, she arrived in Monrovia on the same day as Hip Hop artist Chad Harper (aka Famus), whom she had met the month before in India. Chad had come to explore his roots. They connected with a local Hip Co artist Jonathan Koffa (aka Takun-J) and singers Trade and Angelo to create this beautiful music video in less than a week and a zero dollar budget. You can see the love and selfless spirit of this serendipitous team shine through in the smiles of the children, who co-wrote the song. "If you can talk with your hands, and listen with your eyes, then you will realize that I'm just like you all. I'm just like you." { read more } Be The Change Learn how Hip Hop Saves Lives is reaching out to youth to use music as an alternative to gang and street life. { more } COMMENT | RATE               Related Good News Man & Dog: A Picture that Moved the World A 39-year-long Lesson in Forgiveness 24 Acts of Kindness To Restore Faith In Humanity Ten Things You Might Not Know About Love The One Thing They Carried With Them Barbara Kingsolver On How to Be Hopeful A Moving Letter from Fiona Apple Bill Gates vs. Mother Teresa DailyGood is a volunteer-run initiative that delivers "good news" to 143,528 subscribers.
