George Papandreou's approach and demeanor has helped rather than hindered finding solutions to the debt crisis in Greece. He has emphasized keeping a modest profile and doing the things that matter most- getting straight down to what Greece needs to do to address its problems when talking to European leaders, putting economic experts like Stiglitz in his inner circle so that he is well aware of how others see Greece's problems, setting a role model for his ministers in cutting down on expensive spending habits. Taking out the BMW and driving a Prius may be just for appearance, but actions like these combined with quiet but decisive steps, are needed to set the right tone as Greece shifts to austerity measures and reduces state spending.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
