World We Imagine 3

Empathy Challenge Org.


An organization and challenge targeted to create a global community to spread happiness. We want to inspire people to do favors for strangers – without expecting anything in return – share it on social media, and pass on the baton. Through this ripple effect of kindness, we want to start the biggest social experiment in empathy of the 21st century.


Why Do the Challenge?

The Empathy Challenge will attempt to end the common notion “you are different than me.” It will inspire people to treat others the same way they would treat family – if only for a moment. It will help people share a moment of empathy with a stranger – a stranger that would have gone unnoticed previously. While taking part in the challenge, we hope our community looks beyond cultural differences and learns to appreciate the spirit behind the body.

What Is ECO?

ECO will enable this experiment by initiating and marketing the endeavor on Instagram and Facebook. Like any grand social media challenge, EC will require funding to reach the eyes and ears of millions. If the challenge picks up, we would like to request celebrities and philanthropists to join the movement as their influence can help EC become as big as the annual ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

How Can You Help?

After crowdfunding $10,000 our organization has already created the online page and got the program running. We would like to request AMDP to help this idea become a reality in a way no other NGO would have reached out to you before. We are not requesting for any monetary donation, but simply your word to take part in the Empathy Challenge. By requesting your associates, partners and friends to join the mission, we hope you will become an enabler of empathy and happiness.

A World We Dare to Imagine

Breaking The 3rd Degree Connection Why do we love our family? Why do we like our friends? Why do we ignore strangers? While reading the quote on equality by Jacqueline Novogratz, I wondered why we treat people differently. If we truly believe that all men are created equal, what’s stopping us from treating each other with the same respect we give our family? This incongruence may stem from the notion “you are different than me.” I want to create a world in which we treat people as family. What Is Family?  For a moment, think about this fact. Biologically speaking, we are all related. We each share DNA that can be traced back to common ancestors 1,000 years ago, which makes us all distant cousins. Simply thinking about a stranger as a relative can instantly create a bond that may naturally release emotions of love and respect, instead of judgment and suspicion. What Do I Know? Treat people as if they’re your distant relatives. I was subtly introduced to this idea while I ...

Born on Third Base

Writing Style  Before I share my thoughts on Born on Third Base by Chuck Collins, I would like to briefly praise the author’s writing style. Unlike Kurt Timmermeister, the author of Growing a Farmer, Chuck is clearly an avid writer who uses several techniques from business writing. He begins each chapter with a thought provoking quote, uses subheadings to introduce new ideas, and writes in plain English. Moreover, the overall structure is especially helpful to stay on track while reading this rather dense book. What I Thought In my opinion, Chuck’s invitation to the wealthiest citizens to recommit their wealth to social good is extremely strategic. I find it ironic that some billionaires are more powerful than entire countries. Yet, it’s these one-percenters that Chuck will influence through his book by sharing his story with his peers. Not only has he voiced his own opinion about social inequality but has described tangible ways for the one-percenters to join his mission to ...

Apple To Google (Real Quick)

Last month, I was about to do something that none of my friends would approve. They thought I was going to make the big mistake of my college career. A friend even threatened to never message me again. Yet, I did it anyway - I gave up my iPhone and got a Google Pixel 2XL. This blog post is for those of you who think they're knees deep in the Apple ecosystem and think there's no way out. It's for those trailblazers who want to try something new. Allow me to share my reasons to switch out of Apple, and on to Google. Top 6 Reasons to Switch From iPhone X to Google Pixel 2XL 1. Google Assistant: With natural language processing and AI on the rise, a voice activated assistant in your pocket will become increasing more valuable. Google Assistant has proved to be better than Apple's Siri when comparing voice activated questions. Indeed, no one can beat google on its own searches.
