There is something in each of us that we want to accomplish. Many times our desires and the things that we want seem so far out of our reach. It takes a lot of faith and positivity to stay motivated to persevere through what we sometimes see as the impossible. Some times the things that we want to do are so much bigger than us and the thought of trying to accomplish it is overwhelming and even paralyzing.

I believe that communities have the power, potential and the will to lift themselves out of poverty. In East Palo Alto, a poverty-afflicted community in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was not uncommon to hear that the high school drop out rate was 60%. But for that salient statistic, we can look at the converse and realize that in East Palo Alto, 40% of the kids were NOT dropping out of high school. Who are these kids and families? Amid a turbulent and poverty-afflicted community, why and how were these students successful?

The distance between time and space is... life.

We previously had conversations on here speaking about doing the things we want to do and working the careers that we enjoy working. We spoke about how money is such a huge issue, how it takes money to make money, and how many of us make the sacrifice to work jobs that we merely tolerate just to support ourselves and some of the things we enjoy doing.

Soulfege Inspires with Original Music and Creative Talent

Soulfege is a fresh blend of musical talent that I think fellow Skillologists will appreciate. I heard them perform live a few years ago in Boston and was blown away by their fusion of reggae, hip-hop, R&B, and other African-influenced rhythms, along with their uplifting and awareness-raising, smart lyrics.

Burnt cookies, a college dropout, an unironed button-up, and an unpaved road are all examples of things that could have been great. I'm motivated by the idea that success comes today because yesterday you didn't quit like you wanted to. I'm inspired by builders. Those people that...
