responsible
1590s, "answerable (to another, for something)," from Fr. responsible, from L. responsus, pp. of respondere "to respond" (see respond). Meaning "morally accountable for one's actions" is attested from 1836. Retains the sense of "obligation" in the Latin root word.

The Giving Pledge
The Giving Pledge
The Giving Pledge is an effort to invite the wealthiest individuals and families in America to commit to giving the majority of their wealth to the philanthropic causes and charitable organizations of their choice either during their lifetime or after their death.
Each person who chooses to pledge will make this statement publicly, along with a letter explaining their decision to pledge. At an annual event, those who take the pledge will come together to share ideas and learn from each other.
The Pledge is a moral commitment to give, not a legal contract. It does not involve pooling money or supporting a particular set of causes or organizations.
While the Giving Pledge is specifically focused on billionaires, the idea takes its inspiration from efforts in the past and at present that encourage and recognize givers of all financial means and backgrounds. We are inspired by the example set by millions of Americans who give generously (and often at great personal sacrifice) to make the world a better place.
Over 30 Billionaire have pledged to give half of their fortunes to philanthropy:

If this is legit, holy shit.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave."

INSPIRED
My boss when I was at my AmeriCorps position has recently left IMPACT Silver Spring and is on a journey across the country.
It's a project he calls "Let's Teach Them All," the purpose of which being to gain a comprehensive understanding of education on the ground level, in all corners of this extremely diverse nation. An understanding that can fuel the closing of the Acheivement Gap, a residue of past injustices.
His blog, documenting his journey:
Let's Teach Them All
As I read through his last post, it made me realize something.
I see alot of people in the midst of some major change in their lives when I look around, especially those closest to me. The reasons for this change aren't always positive, progressive in inception. Change is being forced on many, and being forced by many others. And I see a HUGE spectrum of reactions to change. It's as if the entire fabric of reality is quaking beneath our feet. Some people are terrified, some are overzealous, nervous, hurt to lose all that they know, welling up with excitement for all they can gain.
It's so interesting to be surrounded by so much uncertainty, so many people wondering "what's next?" I just hope that those who are lost, are comfortable being so, and live life earnestly and honestly. Because tomorrow we enjoy the fruits of today's passion.
So here's to the sense of adventure, a sense of purpose, of hope, and passion for life, that maybe - had there not been change forced upon us - wouldn't be pushing us to be better, more aware, happier human beings.
And here's to you, Ray Moreno. Good luck on your journey, and I hope you know that your mission has inspired me, and hopefully I'll be able to pass that along to everyone in my life, especially those who need it.
Cheers
