“Life is not about how fast you run or even with what degree of grace. It’s about perseverance, about staying on your feet and slogging forward no matter what.”

National Public Radio Purposes By William H. Siemering →

Here’s something to help you fall in love with public media all over again. From 1970, a mission statement for NPR. The first paragraph always pulls me in:
“National Public Radio will serve the individual: it will promote personal growth; it will regard the individual differences among men with respect and joy rather than derision and hate; it will celebrate the human experience as infinitely varied rather than vacuous and banal; it will encourage a sense of active constructive participation, rather than apathetic helplessness.”
