A "rich" life and reaching for the stars

Dr. Benjamin Mays summed this up with "It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream."

Anne Frank once said "how lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world!"

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

Teach Peace Success 101

Achieving success is more likely when we understand the ingredients for success.

1. Aim high and hold on to your ideals.

3. Celebrate past and present gifts.

4. Never give up!

Greetings,

As Henry David Thoreau observed, "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."

In just a few weeks, on September 21, 2008 in Sacramento, we are continuing to put the Teach Peace Foundation under a very special castle in the air. A world free of nuclear weapons where nonviolent solutions rule the day is achievable in our lifetime.
