Greg Mortenson's motivation


Greg Mortenson, the author of Three Cups of Tea gave a very powerful answer to the question of "What motivates him to dedicate himself to educate children in Pakistan and Afghanistan?":

"The answer is simple: When I look into the eyes of the children in Pakistan and Afghanistan, I see the eyes of my own children full of wonder--and hope that we each do our part to leave them a legacy of peace instead of the perpetual cycle of violence, war, terrorism, racism, exploitation, and bigotry that we have yet to conquer."
