How can anyone hope to be a political leader who doesn’t know what his neighborhood are thinking？

When I was a kid I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I knew what I didn’t want to do. I didn’t even really know what one was. My elder brother is deaf. Growing up, I ended up defending him and I often think that is what started me on my path to whatever I am today.

When I was approached with the idea of trying to create a landmine(地雷) campaign, we were just three people in a small office in Washington, DC in late I had more than a few ideas about how to begin a campaign, but what if nobody cared? What if nobody responded? But I knew the only way to answer those questions was to accept the challenge.

But if I have any power as an individual, it&39;s because I work with other individuals around the world. We are ordinary people--Jemma from Armenia, Paul from Canada, Christian from Norway and thousands more-who have worked together to bring about extraordinary change. The landmine campaign is not just about landmines--it&39;s about the power of individuals to work with governments in a different way.

I believe in both my right and my responsibility to work to create a world that doesn&39;t think highly of violence and war, but where we seek different solutions to our common problems. I know that holding such beliefs is not always easy or comfortable--particularly in the post-9/ 11 world. But I believe that life is about trying to do the right thing.

Most people tend to get caught up in going to college, then getting a job, buying a house and paying the loan. Somehow, I’ve had the desire--and the drive--to do things a bit differently. If enough ordinary people back up our desire for a better world, I believe we can accomplish extraordinary things.

M: I didn't know you had a job.

W: I work part time at a supermarket.

M: What do you do then?

听力原文：M1: Hello.

M2: Tom, this is Steve.

M1: Steve, wow. It's great to hear from you. How are you doing, cousin?

M2: Great, and I promise I'll make this quick, because I know you're probably beading out to the hospital, right?

M1: Hey, I've got all the time in the world. Ten minutes. Besides, I'm waiting for my frozen dinner to cook, so tell me, what's up?

M2: Well, dad tells me you two had a long talk on the subject of my future.

M1: Right, and you are thinking about becoming a doctor, aren't you? I didn't know you had such good sense.

M2: Tom, I don't know where dad got this "surgeon" idea. Because I haven't really decided what I want to do... what I want to be... you know? I mean, I'm not really sure right now that I even want to be a doctor.

M1: Aha.

M2: I mean, I'm interested, but I'm interested in a lot of other things too.

M1: Like photography, for instance.

M2: Yeah, exactly. You know all about that?

M1: Sure I do. I don't think I can remember ever seeing you without a camera slung around your neck.

M2: It's getting worse. This year I'm taking practically all the pictures for the school yearbook. I've built my own dark room, and I'm up to my armpits in negatives.

M1: Terrific! And that just goes to prove what I was telling your dad. It's early yet to decide what you're going to do with your life. After all, you are only.., seventeen years old and I think when you enter the college, you may choose some courses like geography, biology and other courses like art, music... [fade out]
