This gave me Hope! And if you didn't tear up when Matt gave his commencement speech when he discussed the orphanage in Haiti and recognized the Hatians in attendance then, well, you didn't tear up but I sure did. Thank you for expanding my heart 3 sizes tonight 🫶
Thank you Malcolm for putting the spotlight on this and so many other things in life that as we walked by them would have otherwise registered as merely a glimpse, .. You have found a "special purpose", to quote Mr. Martin. Have a wonderful day.
Everytime I think Ive heard the BEST one yet...I hear another and die again into bliss Your perspective is ama,ing, enlightening and yes, Hope inspiring! Love you so much ❤
I messed around too long to be treated so carelessly! I went to graduate school and got my MBA. I ranked 97th percentile on my GM AT, so they lost a brilliant teacher because they were incompetent! I entered a Graphics Program and was hired before I could finish the program.
I was an IT project manager in Toronto about 35 years ago. I hired about a dozen Co-op students from Waterloo. The ones that didn't work out tended to be from affluent families who could afford to send their kids anywhere.
That program they built in Haiti is beyond words. It had me in tears visualizing an orphan holding another baby in need because they themselves know how important that act is. I commend all those involved and am absolutely inspired to do more myself. My wife has a local NPO that I help out with, but there is so much more that needs to be done! Thank you so much for the story and bringing notice to these programs.
Enlightening story! Imagine our country and world if these concepts spread. I believe the by product of all the good, our mental illness crisis would be significantly improved. ❤
I'm grateful Mr. Gladwell continues to uniquely outreach to the masses to help flip the script from the R. Reagan, M. Friedman and J. Welch chapters of the American novel where unabated capitalism and materialism were worshipped. Hopefully, we Americans can be open to following a new narrative. One where knowledge is desired and equitably shared. And we no longer think we are the center of the universe. Open to learn from others across the globe. Low-cost/no-cost education exists in a significant number of developed economies. Our first step is to diminish greed. Oh that's a tough one, but what better way to begin with a college called Hope.
What a beautiful story of what true hope looks like, sounds like, feels like, and does! Please write "The Book of Hope." I'm sure you will have lots of help.
Giving is living. You can also say: Sharing is living. Even if you have only a little, share with the needy. In the Indian language, Tamil, there is a saying: You can sense the presence of God in the smile of the poor. When does the poor smile, Malcolm? When you share with him, the food, the clothes and whatever he needs. A good podcast. Keep going.
@@rebeccarobrahn8012Thank you. We need more people like you. I tried many iterations of Yeh, coals, Bentley, I-95, Newcastle, etc., to no avail. I only have a green belt in Google fu.
I am so impressed with the work of Albom in Haiti but I really have wondered since Tuesday with Morrie's if Albom is really being motivated by his knowledge of self looking back at his reporting on Michigan's Fab Five that left to himself he is racist. The result of his reporting abolished pipeline athletics in Detroit destroying and/or preventing the hatching of athletic dreams and a way out for many in young "possibles" in Detroit. Of course, Haiti is worst off than Detroit but there is work there. Is there more comfort to the ego in missionary work than collaborative charity? I'm just pondering.
I graduated from the University of Minnesota without a great deal of debt, because education was cheap in h to he sixties. However, they were really bad at finding jobs for their graduates. I graduated from the college of education with 120 in my specialty (social studies-history), but only 15 got jobs (the bad news was that 7 were in Australia. This concept would really help!
no one should have to pay for hope? perhaps we should make what psychopathic climate catastrophe profiteers, like the oil industry and war profiteers, hope for prohibitively expensive. perhaps we should make their freedom doubtful.
This story was sure to have benefited from switching off the silly if understandable denial storybooks, the sort foisted upon the young in their formative-most years. Almost mirthful hearing these otherwise shrewd college students talk of a god character as though anyone not given to internal redaction and inveterate denial, could actually take such onboard.

If that was a photograph it would be on the mantle for all posterity.
No one should pay for Hope
I love that
I am sitting here, with tears in my eyes. Bless you Mr. Malcolm for this!!!!
Me too!!!! ❤❤❤
I hope and pray that someday Hope College is the model for all colleges in the US!
Love this so much. Made my day. Giving is living.

Been binging revisionist history
Haven’t slept in 2 days
I don't even listen to the episode before I give a thumbs up. I have that much faith.
Thank you for this podcast. I am so inspired, and totally agree: giving is living.

Brilliant episode. Maybe there's hope for humanity yet.

Love this concept and dearly wish it was also in non religious schools. Sure love Malcolm finding these stories for me.
American higher (elite) education is infuriating in so many ways. Feels as if education itself is its SRCONDARY function.
Great story, full of hope for sure. 33,000 down to zero. Good stuff.
I asked Mr. Google and I still do not understand the quip about James Yeh with a trunk full of coal driving to Newcastle. Help?
It took me days to understand it! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coals_to_Newcastle

Berea College in Kentucky requires everyone to work a minimum of 10 hours on campus. My understanding is that no one borrows to attend.
Ozark College (I believe it's called) outside of Branson has a similar model

I had to pay only $135 for my first quarter and stayed in school with the help of a job on the railroad while I was in school g to there.

Princeton sarcasm complain about tax and you have 55 Billion dollars. REally

Maybe the Christian ethic given here is wonderful, but very few give at all.
Can we fire nuclear weapons into outer space? That's important in case we come under alien attack.
