'Our lives are defined by the #choices we make. It is these choices that define our #character, our authentic self. So choose #wisely. Do not miss out by placing importance on things instead of #people. Pursue #beauty, #hope, #love and #kindness. Pursue opportunity to #improve this #world for somebody else. Let’s be #simply #beautiful.'

A quotation by Rubin, Theodore Isaac
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
Theodore Isaac Rubin (b. 1923) American psychiatrist and author
One to One: Understanding Personal Relationships (1983)

It came up in a conversation earlier today, and I felt it only appropriate to verbalise it here with my friends.
Every person, no matter what, will save another person's life, and the person who was saved may never know who that person was.
Now I am sure I am hearing doubts, but you want to know how this is? That bag of blood donated can save a person in need of a transfusion. That smile you showed a person walking down the sidewalk can save them from jumping to their death. The dollar you give to that homeless person can be what was needed for food or drink to keep them going. That person you gave a ride to could have found their way at the destination. That person you called 911 for could survive.
Some may save 10 lives, some may save more than 100. But every single person will save 1 life. All it takes is that one kind action. And you never know which one did it. So why not do many?
And to those who were saved? You'll never know who did it. It could be that person you judged. Or that person you scowled at. So why not be thankful, because they just may have.

I am so excited and pleased to share “What You Need to be Warm”, an animated film that features many of your wonderful #DrawForRefugees illustrations.
Thank you for joining me on this journey over the past year.
I created the original poem, and we all came together to make this wonderful film, in order to inspire people, and to remind them and us of what’s important. We need to help the vulnerable, to help families of refugees as they face the challenges of winter. People deserve warmth in this cold time – now more than ever before. To learn more about how you can help UNHCR this winter go to: https://www.unhcr.org/draw-for-refugees/

Paul suggests that we could not only learn a lot from studying nature more closely, we could benefit from emulating the inter-connected way that species in the natural world survive. Consequently, we need to reframe our scientific understanding of how the world operates beyond the human sphere.
