<p>I hear alot of people on this board talking about how they are going to “change the world”, which is commendable, but it often feels like they are over-looking the more important ways to make a difference.</p>

<p>On a different thread I mentioned that they best way to make a difference in this world or to “change it”, is to simply lead a good life and raise honest, productive children. I think what Buffet says is somewhat similiar.</p>

<p>^I totally agree, the best way to change the world is to live a good life and to invest in the next generation to make sure they keep at least the same standards that you keep if not higher.</p>

<p>Integrity is something that’s definitely missing today as we’ve seen from the oil spill, financial meltdown etc…</p>

<p>I’m not sure that “integrity” was ever an integral part of society.</p>
