"At the end of the day, it's about the grassroots. Get up everyday and say 'what can I do for somebody else today?' Look around the world and see what you can do to make the world better for one person, or more, today. And sometimes that's simply holding a door for someone, or saying hello. I think if we all did that, it would be a little bit easier to move the dial forward on the big things." - Steven Denson
