To commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11, State Farm partnered with award-winning director Spike Lee to film a touching tribute to thank the heroes of New York. Nearly 150 school children (ages 8-11) from the New York City area visited four firehouses and thanked the firefighters through song.

Osama bin Laden was a very evil man but he knew exactly what he was doing when he attacked the United States on 9/11. His target, the World Trade Center, was a symbol of Western Civilization. Al Qaeda was symbolically destroying the West. Their goal: sparking a civilizational war between the Islamic world and the West. Bin Laden may have killed a lot of people in the 9/11 attacks, but killing people was not his most important goal.

For all of us, touched and untouched by this natural disaster, take time to offer love and compassion. You can do this through prayer, meditation, donating money, volunteering, anything. But just taking a simple moment to acknowledge the pain and suffering and in turn offering compassion can make a difference. More than you might think.

If a grassroots activist can use Facebook and Twitter to overthrow a government, think of the implications for business. The things to be learned from the Egypt story is that the most important aspect - the soul, if you will - is public support.
