I grew up watching and learning from the ultimate partnership, and that is of my father and late uncle.

You can't get a degree at Tisch College. It serves as an amplifier for what your focus is. If you're an engineer, you can take courses on understanding how to move a river in Africa to bring hydroelectric power to a community.

Citizen activists look in the mirror, see what they're really good at and then apply their talents to solving social problems. It's skills-based volunteering.

You're not going to be great at everything. Surround yourself with people that can compliment you so you can work together and then everybody can be successful.
