There are people and causes in this world worth celebrating. Brilliance and success are often celebrated, but I sometimes wonder if we have it wrong. Maybe the people we should be celebrating are not tech icons, captains of industry and entrepeneurs like Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, or Bill Gates. In a sense, these men have received their reward.
More and more the people who amaze me are the people who try and attempt really big things, without any big payoff at the end of the rainbow. These people see a cause that is important and despite the risks, they act on faith, move forward and put themselves on the line. David Milarch is one such figure. Milarch is largely the focus of the book “The Man Who Planted Trees” written by Jim Robbins.
The story of David Milarch reminds me how if a task is worth fighting for, you don’t give up, you don’t despair, you just keep fighting.
Very true and accurate.
David Milarch is a hero. It is important that Ancient Tree Archive is getting so much good press. I hope there is more.
