The Power of One
Our "Power of
One" segment features people who have become passionate
about a cause and went "above and beyond" to make a difference. We will
focus on individuals who have seen a need, found a solution and
set about to make a difference. The people we will
focus on have done this more for humanitarian reasons than
for reasons of personal financial gain. Internationally
recognized, high profile examples would include Dr. David Suzuki,
Mother Theresa, Princess Dianna and Terry Fox. They motivate and
inspire others to achieve personal greatness. One person with a good
idea, motivation and determination can be a force for good.
Pam and Toma are striving to be "Powers of One" in
their personal lives. By combining forces in this show they are
creating a synergistic effect that makes both more effective
and a greater force for good than either could be by them selves. This
is "The Power of One to
the Second Power." We are hoping through this show to
motivate others to be a "Power of One" with
similar goals and create a force of "the
Power of One to the X Power"
The story of "The
Power of One"
When you have been camping have you ever noticed that
a single tiny mosquito can keep several adults awake all night?
The mosquito is persistant and constantly buzzing
around to remind us it is still there. If this same concept
can be channeled into positive endeavors
a lot of good can be accomplished. Mothers are famous for this with
their children. There is a great film from a few years back that is
great illustration of this concept and adds a different dimension to
the concept. The film is "Pay
it Forward."
"Pay it Forward." is
the story of
a boy who became convinced that the way to get people to help each
other and do a lot of good is to "Pay it Forward." the
idea is that when someone is helped, instead of paying back the person
who helped them they are to help someone else as their means of
payment for the good deed that was done for them. The boy
became a "Power of One" as the idea caught on and people started
helping each other.
We are looking for people that are good examples of The Power
of One"
