Quotes:

“Investing in someone else’s future is a difficult thing to do. First, one needs to have money available and selflessness enough to give charitably. Second, one needs trust, not only in the honesty and diligence of the scholarship program, but also in the potential and goodness of the youth that is receiving the award. Third and finally, one needs to have the belief that investing in the next generation, one whose full impact will be realized only after most of the current generation is out of the workforce. I, with all of my heart, thank your act of boundless optimism in believing not just that the future can be a better place, but that my generation will be the one to make it so. More than aware am I that the prevailing attitude toward today’s youth is one of worry. After all, we are the first generation that has had electronic technology so pervasive a force in our lives, a fact which has drawn much ire from developmental psychologists. Yet it is a Pandora’s Box unable to be closed, and to believe in the good that could be birthed because of or in spite of it is all the more a kindhearted and passionate embrace of a vast and unknowable future. Once again, thank you for your generosity and your selflessness and most of all your optimism. Amid such a turbulent era, the world needs those who can dream of a better future.” ~ Joshua
