About
Every real change, every revolutionary idea, every
heartfelt gesture, whether it transforms one life or a thousand, was
once seen as eccentric. Leaders are few and followers many for a
reason: Change requires bucking the status quo, and bucking the status
quo requires a willingness to be perceived as crazy, dangerous or
ridiculous. Revolutionaries, activists and change-makers of every
stripe—just like entrepreneurs—lead because they cannot follow
something with which they do not agree or which limits their
imaginations. They change the world because their passion and
conviction won't allow them not to.
Not all revolutionaries set out to change the world per se; some set
out to change their own worlds. And in so doing, they often change the
way one person, or a few people, or whole communities, or entire
nations or the world thinks and operates in some significant way. “The
world” doesn’t have to be literal; real change can be small-scale and
still be powerful. All it takes is an ability to see other
possibilities and the willingness to help others see them too. As
someone once said, “We are only limited by our imaginations.”
