English term or phrase: say the world with a point
Bonjour,
il s'agit d'un texte général, style courant, rien de littéraire.
La personne explique les vertus du don.
voici le passage :
I'm not a billionaire. I'm not Jeff Bezos or Larry Page who can say the world with a point and a click. But Richard Branson told me on my podcast, "Look around and see who you can help.It doesn't matter if you are an employee or an entrepreneur".

Je ne connais pas l'expression en objet.
Merci
