☺I think everybody should volunteer a couple of hours a month. I think people think that if they can't tackle all of the world's problems and make it all better overnight, there's no purpose. I totally disbelieve that. I believe that every action really does contribute to change.
我認為每個人都應該每個月付出幾個小時的時間來盡點心力。我覺得人們似乎認為：假如他們無法應付世界上所有的問題，並且在一天之內就讓問題獲得改善，那他們的付出就沒有意義。這種想法我完全不能認同。我相信每個行為都有助於促成改變。
