Life unfolds in chapters, and you can contribute in different ways at different times. The video emphasizes respecting all types of social impact, whether big or small, and how you can multitask your efforts to make a difference.
Chapters
So if you want to have a social impact, how do you go about it? So a few things. You bring that spirit to whatever you do, and be respectful of the fact that whether someone is doing fundamental research that's not obvious, what the impact is going to be, or is directly working to help homeless people or working with patients in an intensive care unit, that. That all of those are doing good in society. So we have to be respectful of the fact that all are possible. That's number one. Number two, there's the opportunity for multitasking. So if you are doing fundamental research and you want to have something more tangible, there's so many service opportunities, there's so many people who could benefit from your direct activity. Go work with Habitat for Humanity on the weekend. There are many, many opportunities here in the community. And then the third point is, life is long and lived in chapters. So you can do something for a while and then you can change and do something else, and then change and do something else. And you don't have to always try to do everything in each chapter of your life. So I think bring that service of that spirit of service to the community, to the country, to the world, and it will infuse and try to have it infuse everything that you do, but don't feel that you necessarily have to do it all at once.
