"You're missing the point," she said. "What you're saying makes sense in theory, but not in practice. You're trying to compare apples and oranges."

"Why do you keep saying that?" he asked in response."

Change is good. Shave your head.

6/18/2014

I've shaved my head three times now. Okay, rather a very close buzz - but still, quite a noticeable change from my typical coiffed style.

And not my most flattering look, to be sure. 

But I say, "Why not?!"

CRUSHING goals with friends! Daily habits and public accountability

Daily Habits

I like keeping good habits.

One good habit that I'm trying to keep up with daily is reading. I love to read.

Unfortunately though, as of three weeks ago, I had amassed a queue of exactly 996 Internet articles that I - at some point - apparently, wished to read. And the realization that my Pocket (great app) was just 4 articles away from showing 4 digits on my phone's home screen was the jolt I needed to take stock of this literary cancer.

"Thirsty kids? Not on my watch."

6/2/2014

2 Comments

 
Today at school, a student in one of my classes was apparently very thirsty. 

Those of you who know me well, know I love two things when it comes to food:

  1. Bread.
  2. And water.

I'm a simple man.

I mean, she was really thirsty.

    AdamGreenberg.com is the official website of some guy by the same name. Thanks for being here. 

    ​Adam's grateful his 20s were a debt-free decade traveling with intention through work with meaning. Some of that work includes TOMS, The Obama White House, teaching abroad, art and business in the Gift Economy, two proud terms of national service with AmeriCorps, and two terms with the US Peace Corps in rural Zambia, working with small-scale fish farmers.
