Being head hunted is such an ego stroke!
Pity they want me now & I need a year to finish my studies.

The idea of Social Entrepreneurship, with the incredible shift in thinking it represents, and the capacity it has to do good in our world has staggered me ! I am inspired.

For anyone who actually give a **** about the world and the challenges we face,  this is a must read

For those who think business exists to make a profit, I suggest they think again. Business makes a profit to exist. Surely it must exist for  some higher, nobler purpose than that.

Ray Anderson, founder of Interface inc.

This gave me a real ‘Ah Ha’ moment , I’m definitely going to have to do some more thinking on this.
