My friend, I always read
Patricia's column but I seldom comment on her articles.
She wrote: "[The young people] are
storytellers, all of them, and most of them still believe that a story can
change the world. I don’t, but I believe maybe, if we’re lucky, we can change a
life."
I agree with her. Our world
is not shaped by storytellers but by story makers (idea workers) who can motivate people to act.
