Living for myself really isnt workin

Question

I was wondering how i can go about helping make this a better world. what can i do? my resources are limited, but ive reached a point where regaurdless of the personal cost i will do what i can to help. so what can i do? im not talking about little stuff like donating my time to a retirement home or going "green". i want to do something big, or at least be making progress where ill be doing something big after X amount of time.

thanks for any feedback =)

Answer 1

I don't believe any of us can know for sure how "big" the things we do will be. It is possible to work toward something big; but you have to able to be persistent, be willing to adapt and learn new ways of doing things, and focus on doing something well rather than doing something big.

I think the first step is to educate ourselves. Take advantage of volunteer training offered in your area. Read a variety of magazines and newspapers. Go to college, university, or technical school. Attend meetings of your local government. Read reports and studies from governmental and scientific organizations. Listen to people around you; ask them questions, stay curious.

Spend time with people who are problem solvers. Work for businesses that create or do things that interests you; for example: environmental remediation, health care, equipment manufacturers, research groups, construction, energy (solar, wind, etc), most any scientific group. Volunteer with local groups that do things you are interested in, in order to gain some experience and make some local contacts. Volunteer with local advocacy groups.

No one can give you an exact plan for 'doing something big". Big things happen when curious, educated, charitable, problem solvers persist in finding a solution to a problem. So, narrow your focus a bit, do what interests you, and it's possible big things could happen.

Answer 3

helping out at the homeless shelter, big brother foundation, working with your community, be a foster parent,.....the little things really do matter to those who need them! From the 'little things' we are able to appreciate the bigger things and also comes bigger and better ideas from the little things....start small - there's no shame and it gives plenty of room for wisdom, knowledge and ideas.
