Three Cups of Tea

Just finished Greg Mortenson's 2006 book, "Three Cups of Tea." Wow. I understand that the book has been widely read in the Pentagon....

As if we needed more proof...


"Three Cups of Tea is one of the most remarkable adventure stories of our time. Greg Mortenson’s dangerous and difficult quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only a thrilling read, it’s proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world." -Tom Brokaw

Which reminds me of Margaret Mead

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead, US anthropologist & popularizer of anthropology (1901 - 1978)
And how about his Central Asia Institute?

And check out Pennies for Peace.

A toast to my new hero, Greg Mortenson. May we all try to do as good, and in a POSITIVE way. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, Dick Cheney.
