Reflections by David Handler
The final lesson I learn each year isn’t business wisdom. It’s about recognizing a higher calling. Usually I introduce a charity that’s doing good things. For 2010 I took a different approach:

Just $20 gives a person in Africa safe drinking water for 20 years. Take a look at how Scott Harrison and his organization are saving lives.
