Recently, as I approach age 65, and with the business where I work probably in line to be sold within the year, I've been thinking a lot about what comes next. Like so many others, I've thought about traveling some, but that only goes so far in filling time. And it is not a life, not a reason to get up in the morning feeling motivated, and needed.
Muhammad Yunus no doubt arises each morning with a strong sense of purpose - a mission really. He's the creator of the concept of micro-credit - making small loans to poor people to enable them to begin to pull themselves out of poverty, and to begin to build a new way of life, based on micro-businesses.
Consider the work Dr. Yunus has begun, and is doing...
At the Yunus Center

And in loaning money to the poorest of the poor - with fantastic results.

So I wonder, in the spirit of "And now....", can I help here, learn from this man, and build on it with my professional and life experience?
"A journey of a thousand miles....."
