New Effort Seeks to Become "Global eBay for Caring"

We can launch many new programs, and we can funnel a lot of money to them, but, bottom line, I believe, is that unless individuals change their inner, core beliefs, they will never permanently change their outer behavior or circumstances. Teaching a person how to examine and change those inner, core beliefs is akin to teaching them how to do that proverbial fishing.
