Nate,
I just joined in and eagerly waiting for my first assignment so i'm not browsing through your website. Knew all the videos in this post but enjoyed so much watching them again and forwarded this post to all my friend. Reminds me of another blog in the same vein called Operation Beautiful.
It is just so easy sometimes to make someone's day. And it feel so unbelievably amazing when someone makes YOUR day. Thanks for an amazing concept, thanks for bringing the smiles (and emotional tears as well) into my dull office day!

Nate,
You are incredible. To add to your list: being fearless when it comes to asking questions. Pride stands in the way sometimes and having to admit we are not “in the know” can be a very vulnerable place. I am finding people love to share and educate. My fear usually surrounds how I will be perceived. Remembering we are often our harshest critic can help me to relax a bit, just be and learn from asking the things I do no know.

Each has its advantages. I guess all sorts of different people working together can achieve great things.

I tend to be kind of oblivious to possible issues in getting big things like this going. I sort of jump in with both feet, regardless of the consequences. It's possibly not the best way to be, but it's certainly useful in avoiding being scared of possible outcomes. Heh.

Some wise words there, Nate. Thank you.

Wow... That was a great article. It hit me pretty hard only to realize these things right now. You don't realize the things you take for granted everyday and how there are people out there who are less fortunate then you. It's always really nice to get that breath of fresh air. I also really like the point that hard work pays off and I must say, staying up until 4:00am writing certainly seems like hard work to me.

Thanks for the article.

Mike
