#1 Motivation — How to Get in the Game and Stay There

- by John Graham, activist, author and former diplomat

Why get involved in trying to solve problems in your community or beyond? Why spend all that time and perhaps risk criticism, conflict and failure?

Good questions.

The organization I work with—the Giraffe Heroes Project—honors people who stick their necks out for the common good. These “Giraffe Heroes” are men and women, young and old, from every ethnic and economic background, tackling every kind of public problem you can think of. As part of our work, we try learn as much as we can about what makes these remarkable people tick so we can share it with others.
