Do you dream of leading a different kind of life? Most of us do, at one point or another in our lives.

The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it’s really a different kind of life. – Buckminster Fuller

PS. Please try to look past the political content and evaluate Bill’s speech only for his art of public speaking.
