I totally loved this video. It's the perfect example for "How to Start a Movement." Dare to be the only one standing up - not caring what others think - be passionate about what you believe. Your excitement and passion will be felt by others. As people start joining in - the ripple effect happens. Then everyone wants to be a part of it. Awesome. That was just awesome. I totally loved this video.

It’s the perfect example for “How to Start a Movement.”

Dare to be the only one standing up – not caring what others think – be passionate about what you believe. Your excitement and passion will be felt by others. As people start joining in – the ripple effect happens.

Then everyone wants to be a part of it.

Awesome.

HARD. dont worry about numbers as when you are number one (not like the foam finger #1 but the #1 above) then eventually the #s may follow and if they never do? you wont even notice.

There's no guarantee that your movement will gain momentum. The saying "He gave up just a little too early" is enthusiastic but it doesn't account for the possibility that some things just won't ever take off. Of course you'd not have any experience in that. =)

The music wasn't good, the quality was terrible, and the point was buried nearly a minute into the video. Some editing would do the clip quite a bit of good.<br><br>Sometimes we sell ourselves and our ideas short by taking too long to share the point we're trying to make. I've seen a lot of great projects die because of this. I find it really interesting that you nearly gave up on the video.

“at some point, they are “joining” to maintain status quo, not subvert it.”

Ah, yes. The ones who refer to themselves as “late bloomers” and such.

Really interesting point that, after a certain momentum was reached, people joined because they didn't want to be different. Stellar, Miss!

Good to have friends that remind me of that truth and help me keep going on.
