Of mountains and sapiens, post 31:
Life in mountains.
Met these kids one afternoon, when I decided against running after butterflies, in favor of just walking around in the village and spending time with some of the humblest people in the world.
We spent some time with these kids, listening to their stories. Towards the end, I asked them what they wanted to do in life. For some reason, I ask this to every child I meet.
You'd be surprised how predictable the answers are. Depending on the conversation before the question, children mostly say they either want to become a scientist if they see me in my field hat, walking around with my butterfly net. Or, they want to be a photographer if they see me carrying a camera and taking pictures of things they probably find awfully common and boring.
Moral of the story? Children look up to you, learn from you, and follow you. Make sure you're setting a good example for them. Make sure you're having conversations with them. Not just with the children in our homes, but with millions of those living on the streets, in orphanages, and in villages.
You'd be surprised to see the change they'll usher. You'd be surprised to see the world they'll build. A world where hashtags like and won't be required.
