Upon Discovering That I Do Not Know

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I want to be. Like, duh, I'm in my mid-twenties. That is basically all we think about. When I was younger I thought that I would be famous and impact people in a large-scale way. More and more, however, I'm realizing that some of the most important ways I can make an impact will be measured on much smaller scales.

Dave Eggers has found a way to combine the large with small scale, impacting lives of children. I have been thinking a lot about him lately, about how he chose to do what he loved to help people. And I think that is the best way to live my life.
