In a pessimistic world with economic and climate worries and increasing religious and other strife, the former President writes an optimistic essay in Time citing 5 areas we should celebrate
- Mobile Technology
- Health NGOs
- Green economy
- Sexual equality
- Getting along with others
About the last, almost addressing US politicians, he cites “One of the winners this year was from the Abu Dhabi campus of New York University, and the team was four students: one from India, one from Pakistan, one from China and one from Taiwan. When they came onstage to receive their award and pose for a picture, I asked them, "Are you sure you guys want this in the local paper?" And they said, in various ways, "We are so over this." The differences between India and Pakistan over Kashmir are real, as are the tensions between China and Taiwan, but these students are living 10 years from now. They have something to look forward to, and they set a wonderful example for the rest of us to follow.”
