John Legend: "Bring your own unique gifts to the table to engage in the real, tangible bettering of your community."

 “We see [zero-sum thinking] in efforts to hoard economic opportunity, too. Today, the 26 wealthiest people on the planet own as much as the 3.5 billion poorest.

That’s zero-sum thinking if I’ve ever seen it.”
