I really respected what Mr. Passcantado said concerning taking up action where your passion lies and saying no to apathy. It reminded me of a quote by missionary Jim Elliot, "Wherever you are, be all there." What he has done with his life proves that he does not hold onto the anxt of decisions making and pressure, but he took up the concerns of his time and is working to make a difference instead of listening to the negative comments of those around him.
So inspiring and so true. It is so refreshing to hear this advice beacuse it is so easy to get caught up in what people think of you and what is expected of you.
great finishing words
