    Having so much opportunity to help other people, not just around you, but from other countries that might not in peace are blessing and responsibility also for the better future that most people have dream.

    Angelina Jolie has those opportunities. The other night Anderson Cooper aired an exclusive interview with Angelina Jolie on his CNN‘s Show, Anderson Cooper 360.

    Having six kids already is not make Angelina Jolie feels tired and enough for the kids, in the interview, without hesitation she said yes for Brad and Angelina to have more kids, “We love children, we want a big family, so we never – you know, never say no”, she said.

    With Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and twins Knox and Viv, 11 months, I am sure birthday party have been celebrate constantly in their house.

    “I do have the twins, and I just had Shi in May. We have so many kids that we just have year-round birthdays,” Jolie said in an interview about World Refugee Day. “It’s a lot of fun now ’cause the older kids are old enough to help plan the birthdays for the younger kids”.

    “So it’s one of the great pleasures of life, the birthdays,” she continued.

    To mark World Refugee Day in her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations, Angelina Jolie got emotional when talking about a child that she met during her work in war-torn Afghanistan.

    “There was a young boy I met who was about 15 who had been shot in the back and paralyzed. And — and his whole family had been killed. And he was completely on his own.

    “And — and, yet, he had this really remarkable, unbreakable spirit, a spirit beyond anything I can imagine having. The — the things we complain about on a daily basis — he had lost everything, and — and was just so full of laughter and kindness. And — and he passed away a few months after I was there.

    “So I always wondered — you know, it’s those kind of young people that you meet. And you just think, God, in any other situation, if this person had been given a chance, what an extraordinary adult he would have been. How extraordinary for his country, for his family, if he had ever had a chance to have one. But instead, he had so many horrible things happen to him in his life.

    “And — but he taught me a lot about just the strength, the spirit. I think of him, and I can’t complain about anything. I can’t — I can’t do anything but be grateful for what I have. Because he was grateful and he had nothing and had suffered everything. So — and there are millions like him. So there are many, many stories.”

    But Jolie (who donated $1 million to Pakistani refugees through her and Pitt’s foundation) makes sure her kids understand they’re fortunate.

    “Some of my kids are from countries that have seen conflict. I usually just explain to them that there are other families in the world that aren’t as fortunate as ours and other kids,” Jolie said.

    “And so I tell them that it’s important for all of us to do what we can and then go to these places and understand what’s happening,” she went on. “So I think they’re just being raised that this is the normal thing to do…. Hopefully I’ll take them to as many countries as I can and raise them with an education of the world.”

    As the mother she continues to be to many of those in need, Angie wants to make sure her children grow up knowing refugee children as they do other kids.

    “I want them to see it as an area where they can go down the street and play football with those kids and get to know them, and as they grow up seem them as those friends they spent time with,” she says. “Hopefully I can raise them with a more accurate view of the world than I was raised with, maybe they’ll naturally be better people.”

    Jolie says that despite her position as a UNCHR Goodwill Ambassador, she’s “not a political person.

    “But I think it doesn’t take much to understand that this is the front line of us fighting against extremists, where all that we hold dear and all that we value is really on the line,” she explained. “This fight is a very personal fight for all of us. And these victims of this crisis, these regular people who are mostly agriculturalists that are fleeing are, you know, we should feel a real connection to them, identify with them…. So I think at least what we can be doing is assisting the humanitarian crisis and assisting the people and the desperate families and the children.”

    If Angelina knew what she knows now, how would her life be different?

    “I think it would’ve gotten me through my youth easier, I would’ve been less self destructive,” she admits. “You see people who have suffered things you will never know, and you know lucky you are.”

    Speaking of lucky, Angelina agrees with partner Brad Pitt, who says this was one of the happiest times in his life.

    “I am extremely happy in my life,” she says. “My children are healthy and it’s one of the most extraordinary times in my life and I’m able to do good things and good work.”
