I am doing a series of interviews with author Dan Zadra on what I am referring to as his number series books. In this podcast we are going to be speaking about his book entitled “(1) How Many People Does It Take to Make a Difference?“.
In my humble opinion the best part about Dan’s books are the amazing simplicity, yet positive impact they have on the reader. Yet again, in his book (1) How Many People Doe It Take to Make a Difference, Dan inspires the reader to believe in themselves and reinforces that we are not here by mistake–we all have a grand purpose in the greater scheme of life. This statement has such significant importance if you are going to make a difference. You are not here by mistake and you are here for a reason. The key is in finding your purpose and living it out. I know easier said than done, but we all have to start looking for our purpose and be brave enough to live it.
Think about this little statistic that Dan so carefully placed in the book. Odds of bowling a 300 game 1 in 11,500. Odds of being hit by lightening 1 in 575,000. Odds of getting a royal flush on your first five cards 1 in 649,740. Odds of becoming the U.S. President 1 in 10,000,000. Odds of winning $340 million jackpot in MegaMillions lottery 1 in 175,000,000. Odds of being born in this particular time, place and circumstances: about 1 in 400,000,000,000. Amazing isn’t it. Best we make something of this wonderful life we are given.
One of the greatest ways of making a difference is to be of service. Yes, being of service now matter what we do is truly how we make a difference. In an address in 2007 to the graduating students Bill Gates so eloquently stated ” I hope you will judge yourself not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities…on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.” So nicely said–what to make a difference in your own life, then help make a difference in someone else’s.
