A Lone Voice Need Not Be Alone

摘要

Every day,we all encounter things we love and things that need to change.The former gives us joy.The latter fuels our desire to make the world different-ideally,better than we found it.However,trying to change deep-seated beliefs and behaviors is daunting.We accept the status quo because effecting real change seems impossible.Still,we dare to ask: Can one individual make a difference? And,in our bravest moments: Could that one individual be me? Throughout my career,I have been blessed to have encountered some of the most bull-headed progressive entrepreneurs and industry leaders you could ever imagine.When I say bull-headed,I'm being complimentary;they simply refused to follow but chose to lead.Often,they would question products and systems that were working just fine in the hopes of making them better.You may pass these people every day and not know who they are or what they stand for.They are the Steve Jobs,Elon Musks,Richard Bransons and the Ben Franklins,but we all know their stories,don't we? What is yours?
