In Chapter 15 or 16, micro-philanthropist and humanitarian Adam Carter meets a Tasmanian attorney traveling the Middle East in 1998 who teaches him the value of patience in building a career. Carter, uncertain and stressed about his own career, finds wisdom in the attorney's words, specifically the need to understand what you want before jumping into a career. Carter uses this experience to continue cultivating his experiences and shaping them into his own micro-philanthropy career. Along the way, Carter creates the Cause and Affect Foundation (www.causeandaffectfoundation.org).
