Words of Wisdom

Every individual matters and has a role to play in this life on earth. The chimpanzees teach us that it is not only human but also non-human beings who matter in the scheme of things.

Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother.

And to all young people, in mother's words; "If you really want something, and really work hard, and take advantage of opportunities, and never give up, you will find a way.". Follow your Dreams.

Note: the inline image above shows Goodall with a young chimp. Her research is wonderful, but so is her vision of our planet.
