00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:06.660
My friend Tom Boone descended
from actually from the brother

2
00:00:06.726 --> 00:00:10.349
of Daniel Boone, the famous
explorer in the United States,

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.769
Tom Boone told me one time:
" Don, you far more often act

4
00:00:16.836 --> 00:00:20.190
your way into new ways of
thinking than you think your

5
00:00:20.256 --> 00:00:24.899
way into new ways of acting."
And Tom, his words got through

6
00:00:24.966 --> 00:00:28.309
to me and my even my
dull little brain,

7
00:00:28.376 --> 00:00:31.730
I began to realize, boy, this
is true, this is true.

8
00:00:31.796 --> 00:00:35.609
And so when we go out and we
meet people and we we work

9
00:00:35.676 --> 00:00:40.140
together with people, I've built
houses, Habitat for Humanity houses

10
00:00:40.206 --> 00:00:42.479
in many countries around the world

11
00:00:42.546 --> 00:00:44.159
where people were fighting before.

12
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:49.289
I've been up on the scaffolding
in Lebanon, for instance,

13
00:00:49.356 --> 00:00:51.929
between a Christian pounding
nails here and a Muslim

14
00:00:51.996 --> 00:00:52.799
pounding nails here.

15
00:00:52.866 --> 00:00:55.590
And their families have been
fighting each other before,

16
00:00:55.656 --> 00:00:59.520
but now they're acting their
way into new ways of thinking.

17
00:01:00.329 --> 00:01:02.969
That kind of compassionate
action,

18
00:01:03.036 --> 00:01:06.870
going out and putting your love
into action with refugees,

19
00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:10.560
with homeless people,
with whatever situations,

20
00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:15.629
that drives out fear that
overcomes violence

21
00:01:15.696 --> 00:01:20.459
and makes a different a better world
more than anything else I know.

22
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:23.939
Acting our way into
new ways of thinking.
