Several years ago, I enjoyed the movie Dead Poet Society. There were many memorable scenes, but one in particular stands out in my mind. English teacher, John Keating, played by Robin Williams, stands on his desk and encourages his students to “Look at the world differently.” Standing on the desk was Keatings visual demonstration for seeing the room and the world from a different point of view.
He invites his students to also stand on the desk and see the world through new eyes. “Just when you think you know something, you must look at it in a different way.”
This week I was introduced to a short video that made me look at the world differently. It has certainly caused me to more fully appreciated what I have. This video has also inspired me to want to make a more profound difference in the lives of others.
I share this video with you.. in hopes you will also see the world with new eyes too.
Starting next week… I’m going to going join others in a movement called “Only The Good Friday.” This group of bloggers are joining hands to actively make a difference and do “Good.” Every Friday, I will be sharing stories of people who are making a difference in their families, neighborhoods and communities. The idea is… to pass the “Good” forward. You are welcome to share stories and ideas as well.
Enjoy the video.

That’s an absolutely marvelous post, Sheila. I did think it interesting that in the video, he broke it down into “men” and “women.” What were their ages? I’m willing to bet that a large percentage of those 100 people would be children! Indeed that video makes us look at the world differently.
Well done! Thank you for joining.
Great Idea Nana! Would love to join you
Let me know how…just blog something about doing good on Fridays?
Thanks for the video. Very inspiring!
