Kid President: There are lots of ideas how you can change the world. Some people think
you should just complain about it. That won't change the world, it will just make it mad!
Some people think you have to have lots of money money. Making it rain everywhere you go!
Holla for a dollar! Some people think you have to be really loud and yell a lot.
Like with a bullhorn shouting, "Hey you! Yeah, you! Do it my way, right now!"
Other people choose to just make fun of everything. That's dumb, that's dumb, everyone's dumb.
It's easy to make fun of stuff, but it's cooler to make stuff! Some people think changing
the world can only be done by the smartest person in the world. Just put them in a room
and let them figure it out! "The solution to world hunger? Food."
Wow, that was like, so amazing. Some people see all the bad in the world and
they just decide to ignore it, but that won't help anything. Some people think you have
to be really famous and super cool. In fact, lots of people think you have to be really
powerful to make a difference. Like being mayor or senator or president. But the truth
is, a title doesn't make you more important, the world is changed by you! It's one person
filled with love. And they just have to live it out so they do something awesome!
Then that person is filled with love and they do something awesome. It just goes on, and on,
and on! And next thing you know everything's awesome! Some people think it's impossible
to change the world. Well you can see why they could think that. Living in a world with
kids who are hungry, people who are homeless, families who aren't happy, I'm just trying
to figure it out like everybody else man. I do know this though, Next time you feel
overwhelmed or totally alone, remember this, things don't have to be the way they are.
The world is changed by ordinary people. Little people living out big love! And that's what
gives the world a reason to dance!

So, how do we change the world? At the start of this year, I asked all you
guys to make the year more awesome! The time to be awesome is now! Make this year awesome
for somebody else! Whether it's helping the homeless with Socktober, throwing a parade
for somebody, or giving an inspired gift! You helped prove that the internet can be
an awesome place! Thank you, but we're not done yet.
This coming year, let's show the world what awesome really looks like.
