Lessons from Legends at One Young World 

By Marian Salzman, Feb. 10, 2010 

At the One Young World global leadership summit, the previous generation of world-changing activists met the new one. Desmond Tutu, Bob Geldof, Muhammad Yunus, Kofi Annan and more addressed the 600-plus young global leaders, and, Marian Salzman writes, they all passed along a similar message. “The suggestion is almost that whatever it is we’ve managed to do,” Sir Geldof told the summit’s delegates, “there’s increasingly little we can do to influence the affairs, except to possibly pass it on, somehow, by influencing you."
