“Using SROI to explore the value of our online question and answer service, askTheSite, helped us develop new mechanisms for speaking to young people and gain a real insight into the impact of our work. The project enabled us to demonstrate YouthNets commitment to robust impact measurement as well as our commercial approach to project evaluation. Perhaps most importantly, being able to assign a monetary value to askTheSite has enabled YouthNet to convey to current and potential funders how valuable the service is for both young people and the wider society in a language that they understand” PeopleWellsRealAbleYoungValuesLanguageAnswersProjectsApproachCommitmentGainsImpactCurrentsValuableInsightOnlineMechanismMeasurementMonetaryRobustEvaluationQuestions And AnswersMonetary Value Author:Sarah McCoy
“Universities are fantastic places to gain knowledge on a subject, develop a personal network, explore your character and learn new techniques to approach problems. I do however believe that there is a strong argument for students who have an idea they are passionate about to just try and turn it into a reality.

“The idea that each of us can be directly spiritual is radical. Most religions are based not on teaching adherents to be directly spiritual, but in persuading them to trust in the intercession of ministers or priests. The problem with this approach is that we cannot gain access to spirituality except through the medium of a fallible human being. If we want to see Tao, we need only open our eyes and trust what we see.” IfsWantNeedsHumansIdeasProblemEyeSpiritualSpiritualityHuman BeingsTeachingApproachGainsAccessMediumsRadicalMinistersPriestsTaoIntercessionPersuading Book:Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony Source: Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony

“The reply is, that one ought to be both feared and loved, but as it is difficult for the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one of the two has to be wanting. For it may be said of men in general that they are ungrateful, voluble, dissemblers, anxious to avoid danger, and covetous of gain; as long as you benefit them, they are entirely yours; they offer you their blood, their goods, their life, and their children, as I have before said, when the necessity is remote; but when it approaches, they revolt.” IfsMenMayChildrenLongArtSaidTwoWarTogetherDifficultBloodDangerOughtOffersBenefitsApproachGainsGoodsAnxiousArt Of WarRevoltUngrateful Author:Niccolo Machiavelli
