Reading this again after a year, it's amazing how it feels like new. So much has happened to me and my life this year that my perspective on life and life values is drastically changing. So your list has even more value to me and I see it differently. I thought those who had done this before might skip it, but I was glad you and a couple others decided to re-examine their past lists to see how they might change it, but I didn't think that my re-reading of the list would detect a change in me! I'm getting challenged right back on my challenge! But you always do that to me! Thank you. It is still and always a wonderful list.

Mean what you say; mean what it will do. I'll keep that in mind as I write my own list. There’s brilliance here, in the idea, in the challenge, in many of the suggestions.

I'm printing this out and showing it to my children. And then I think we'll have a family conversation about what we can come up with. Mandarine, you've just made my world a better place tonight. xxoo, BL Wonderful! I’m printing this out and showing it to my children. And then I think we’ll have a family conversation about what we can come up with.

Mandarine, you’ve just made my world a better place tonight.

xxoo, BL

I've seen a lot of people think this list is useless, since you can't "really" change the world in 30 seconds. But your last statement sums up why I chose this challenge. If everyone took 30 seconds at a time to make the world a better place, and if 30 million of those 6 billion people took the same 30 seconds to do an act to make the world a better place, wouldn't that be a mathematical step in the right direction to improve the world? What if all 6 billion people picked up a single piece of trash or put down their suduko to talk to their neighbors? Or even just to listen to their neighbors? Love it! Oh, I love the last one!
