One Simple Question Can Change The World

A brief article by Dr. George Spaeth challenges all of us to ask and act on one simple question.  The question: What are you doing to make the world better?

Part of Dr. Spaeth’s  routine is to ask his elderly patients: What are you doing with your time now? It was disconcerting to him that the vast majority answered: “Nothing.”

This generated his follow up question to 30 of his elderly patients: What are you doing to make the world better?  2 of 30 took up the challenge and began to do something to make the world better.  A great change from their prior answer: “Nothing.”

Dr. Spaeth lists many websites that we can go to help change the world; here are a few of those sites:

American Red Cross (www.redcross.org)

Habitat for Humanity (www.habitat.org)

Mentor (www.mentoring.org)

Volunteers in Medicine (www.vimi.org)
