Publicity does not change much. Having recieved some - the next morning one wakes up just the same.

Today to make a difference I do three things:

live in the moment
have fun, take risks
don't hurt others

Jason has had his 15 minutes of fame. A year from now the only people who will remember him will be those of us here and those who there that night in that gym in New York.

You don't really need publicity to make a great ground breaking contribution to society...


You can be a hero just by volunteering for things like helping the red cross help Katrina victims for instance. The feeling you get from helping others like that is exihilerating, because in the eyes of the people you helped, some of the general public, and the red cross you are a TRUE hero.

Well not only to the people in the gym that night, but he will become sort of a legend to that high school and the community it serves. He also always be a legend amongst the autistic community.
