The Things I Must Fight For

Just because we have the capability to fight, it doesn‘t mean that we should go around
looking for trouble. There are always things worth fighting for. They are called causes.
Try interviewing people, asking them which three things are worth the good fight. Once
you have enough, list down the top five causes. Provide an explanation for why you need
to fight for them.
