Uncommon Sense

People think revolution needs to involve loud provocations, fists in the air, and bloodshed.
But if you think true love looks like Romeo and Juliet, you’ll overlook a great relationship that grows slowly.

If you think your life’s purpose needs to hit you like a lightning bolt, you’ll overlook the little day-to-day things that fascinate you.

If you think revolution needs to feel like war, you’ll overlook the importance of simply serving people better.

When you’re on to something great, it won’t feel like revolu- tion. It’ll feel like uncommon sense.

-Derek Sivers Anything You Want

This book is a testament that if you’re making yourself uncomfortable, trying to follow your heart, treating others with love, and searching for/living your passion, you are part of a revolution.

Happiness comes from the little things. Love them, and you will love life.

Stop living your life according to the way others expect you to live it.

This Ted Talk has many layers of meaning. On the surface, it’s about preventing waste.  Take it deeper, and it’s all about changing your perception of yourself, and learning to be who you are regardless of the fact that you don’t fit in the way everyone else does.

A QUOTE

It is startups who have generated virtually all of our nation’s major technological breakthroughs in the last hundred years — from cars and planes to semiconductors, PCs, software, and the Internet — and in the process sparked the creation of whole new industries and millions of new jobs. And as economists have demonstrated, this kind of start-up-led innovation is the source of virtually all economic growth and increases in living standards in the U.S.

In other words, Mr. President, everything depends upon start-ups: Job creation. Our standard of living. Our prosperity as a nation. The American Dream itself.
