You don’t have time. There’s not enough time. We need more time.
Usually, those are excuses. But for the young men and women on the following pages.
Because they know they’re true.
You don’t have time … to sit around fine-tuning plans till the passion withers away. There’s not enough time to waste it waiting on other people to solve the problem. We need more time … to do more, to create, convince and serve the community.
We tried to find some of the people making the most of their time. They’re creative, hard-working, forward-thinking and inspiring, like others have inspired them. Because they know it’s true. There’s no time like now.
As Top 40 recipient LeQuan Hylton puts it: “I want to be one of those people that, when I die, I’m just exhausted, like I’ve gotten everything out of me.” — Jason Roop
