Dream BIG!

After reading John Wood’s Book, “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur’s Odyssey to Educate the World’s Children,” I was greatly inspired to say the least. It reaffirmed my commitment to the amazing work we are doing with Better World Books, from simply running book drives on college campuses so we can live in a Better World. On page 116, John asks, “You say you want a Revolution?” and then suggests an answer: “THINK BIG FROM DAY ONE.” He continues to say, “when I started Room to Read, I declared immediately that our goal was to help 10 million children to gain the lifelong gift of education.” And true enough, Wood’s words are coming true everyday of our lives. As you continue your amazing book drives, think BIG and be part of a Better World for all!
