A great way to give thanks for the privileges we’ve got is to do important work.
Your job, your internet access, your education, your role in a civilized society… all of them are a platform, a chance to do art, a way for you to give back and to honor those that enabled you to get to this point.
For every person reading this there are a thousand people (literally a thousand) in underprivileged nations and situations that would love to have your slot. Don’t waste it.
-Seth Godin
2011 was a pretty fantastic year. We accomplished some major things, did some good work, helped people along the way, and made the world at least a tiny bit better for at least a few people. None of the things I’ve done this year would have been possible without those around me, my family, and those who treat me like family, in particular. So thank you all.
That said, the goals yet to be accomplished far outpace what we’ve accomplished thus far. Here’s to a healthy and productive 2012. Let’s get to work.
