At the same time, I believe deeply in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, who said: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” I often challenge myself with that question, and I’ve come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me back from doing something more important. That’s what has led me to today.

My favorite take away from this piece published today by Tim Cook is that he’s writing not as the CEO of Apple but as a human being that is continuously going through self growth. I think that’s especially amazing and too rare these days… especially from someone in such a powerful position.
