How many “Ah-ha’ moments came to Ben Franklin? Thomas Edison? Alexander Bell? Henry Ford? Steve Jobs? Obviously, more than anyone can ever count.

My ‘Ah-ha’ moment on how to resurrect Global Learn Day was greatly helped by the March 31, 2013 New York Times Cover Story Giving is the Secret to Getting. It’s an amazing story about Professor Adam Grant who makes his daily wage at the Wharton School of Business.

Like most ‘Ah-ha’ Moments, the most startling aspect was “Why on earth didn’t I think of this before?”  More later.
