How do you keep calm and carry on in a world full of crises?
We asked folks whose job it is to make the world a better place: How do you find the inner strength to keep plugging away in tough times? And what advice do you have for fledgling activists?
Plant just a few trees. Don't be afraid to reject your own ideas. Humble brag in a journal.
This is some of the advice we heard last week when about 1,500 people who try to make our planet a better place – from scientists and philanthropists to activists and entrepreneurs – descended on Oxford, England. In big forums and little coffee shops, they discussed what to do about some of the world's biggest problems and swapped advice from their work on the front lines. The Skoll World Forum brought these people together in a bid to "accelerate innovative solutions."
We pulled a few of the participants aside and asked for their wisdom. We wanted to know their advice for the next generation
