Malala Yousafzai addressed the United Nations and delivered what can only be described as the best speech of 2013, as well as the most powerful address of this decade (so far.) July 12, 2013 was not only Malala Day. Malala Yousafzai is a great global communicator. She is sixteen years old, and was shot in the head, at point blank range in Pakistan, less than one year ago. Malala was shot because she wanted to… learn. And she was a young woman.

If you knew that a habit of yours annoyed people around you, would you continue doing the annoying behavior? Yes, I wish that was a rhetorical question! It amazes me that intelligent, kind-hearted people think that because they are the ones doing the annoying thing, that the thing is no longer annoying. Take “Cheers” for example.
