Day 1879: “How We Can Make the World a Better Place by 2030”

A higher GDP doesn’t necessarily equate to more social progress – that’s what Michael Green taught me.

 

It’s  12 :  25 PM on day 1789 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Acts 24, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – The watermelon can be classed as both a fruit and a vegetable.– have breakfast, make sandwiches for the kids in our sisi’s (housekeeper’s) neighborhood with sisi’s  help as part of  Virginia’s Sandwich Run (thank you sisi for all your help today) and work on my potential future project.

 

Yesterday I watched “How We Can Make the World a Better Place by 2030” – a Ted Talk by Michael Green about how we can reach the U.N’s Global Goals by 2030 – which made me realize that a higher GDP doesn’t necessarily equate to more social progress if a country doesn’t have its priorities straight regardless of its GDP it won’t make much social progress.
