<p>If you truly want to make a difference in the world, do your very best at tending whatever tiny “plot of land” is yours. Go to school. Major in something that you have a passion for, or at least something that interests you. Don’t worry too much about whether or not it is the perfect choice. Twenty years after they graduate most people aren’t working at anything directly connected to their college major.</p>
<p>Take care of your loved ones. Marry for the right reasons, treat your spouse with love and respect. Have children, if that’s something you and your spouse want to do. Raise them with love, respect, and reasonable expectations. </p>
<p>Take care of your home, your possessions, your finances. Stay out of debt. </p>
<p>Greet the world with joy every day. Try to pay it forward. Help out your friends and neighbors. Don’t litter.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about great accomplishments. If you manage to to all of the above you will have done more for the world than most people on earth.</p>
