My expectations are high today. I awoke to a newly energized country, one filled with possibilities. The emphasis should now turn to the achievement of higher ideals. Tangible progress in the fields of science, education and intellectual gain must be our collective goals. Now is the time to reach out and inspire our fellow man with our "doings" rather than just our sayings.

Can we eradicate extreme global poverty within our lifetime? The answer is, of course, absolutely! Is it possible to put technology in the hands of every student so they might have access to more knowledge? We must! This must be the era where we raise the bar of expectations. We can not allow this moment to pass without really trying something new- something bold. I want us to elevate our hopes and dreams. Cure cancer, stop Global Warming, feed the hungry minds, it IS possible.

Big ideas are the fuel of human ingenuity. We have been blessed with the ability to invent the wheel, re-invent transportation- re-work communication tools- re-write the laws of physics- re-examine what is possible.

Paint with brighter colors, write songs with more notes, pursue the unknown. Bring forth solutions. Use this time wisely. In doing the impossible, you prove to the world that we were right for hoping that it CAN be done.

I'm interested in ideas like Dark-Matter because I want to know what holds this Universe together. I want to discover what the 80% of the missing known matter is. I want to surf around the Globe and meet my brothers and sisters who have a wealth of knowledge to teach me. I engage in new social networks to tap into the crowd of ideas.

My mind races with optimism today, perhaps we ARE the generation of realized potential.
