“I feel like I have a responsibility to try to leave the world a better place. I am not the person who will discover the next breakthrough in science or technology, but if I can help one adult become a better parent or empower one child to stay safe in a dangerous world, maybe that major breakthrough will come from them.” Mike mused. “Who knows? All I do know is if no seeds are planted nothing will grow.”
