OK, this is a time when I'll double post. Why? Because Cory Booker makes me feel small.

Small? Yes, small. I have done so little with so much. My family gave me so much. I have not faced the challenges Booker's family has. I have not held the body of a dying child, the way Booker has. I have not helped a community the way he has.

We need more leaders like Cory.

This inspires me to do more. A must watch.

This is why I love social media and why Andrew Keen is gonna be at a disadvantage on Wednesday when we debate social media.

I doubt I would have seen this speech if it weren't for social media. Why? Because with it I followed Tina Seelig, who is a major leader at Stanford University and she said I must watch this speech, so I did.

In the old world would I have had a chance to see this speech? Nope.

But that takes me back to the point. I now feel small and feel I have to do more to help my community. Cory is just so inspiring, I wish we had more leaders like him and I wish the press would give more airtime to leaders like him. If they did this world sure would be better.
