Humanity is rapidly becoming less the

outcome of natural process of development,

and more and more the product of an

organised educational plan [the “factory”?].

He (“the educated man”) is simply

a manufactured article bearing the stamp

of the maker.

Steve Job (1955- 2011)

“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your

own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow

your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to

become. Everything else is secondary.”

Envisioning the post-2015 future Global Impact by 2030

A world where extreme poverty has been eradicated and where the building blocks for sustained prosperity are in place. A world

where no one has been left behind, where economies are transformed, and where transparent and representative

governments are in charge. A world of peace where sustainable development is the overarching goal. A world with

a new spirit of cooperation and partnership. This is not wishful thinking.

- The Report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons

on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, p. 30
