"We are the people that we have been waiting for"
I have been observing that people aren't as creative or determined as I had hoped. Its like the world in which we live is a franchiser and we are all its little franchisees. Where are the heroes? Where are the risk takers? Where are the "Why Sayers? In the "template" we live in, we have to wear _______ if we are going to succeed. Our facial hair has to be exactly like __________ or we cant succeed. We must drive a __________ or we "aren't doing as well as we should be". We cant start a __________ company because will step on ___________'s toes. Why?! And for what?! So we can be mediocre?!! Well what happened to the people that didn't do it like that? What about the people that said "Fuck this...I'm doing it my way"...Yvonne Chouineard, Owner of Patagonia, runs a 250 million dollar company, and lets his people come to work barefoot in board shorts. Why has he been able to do it while everyone else is afraid to color outside of the lines? He literally looks at the guy who wears a suit in the summer and is confused on why a guy would wear a wool suit in 90 degree heat. But no one else is confused...say what? Why don't we have more people in the world that think that way? Why don't we have more people in the world that want to change it? I have a friend that used to believe in passion and gave it up for a "salary man" job...I had lunch with this friend a while back and left almost in tears. I was looking and talking to a ghost...a ghost of a former man that lived his life. And now, he sells _____, drives the ________, dresses like he is supposed to, and only talks about his job selling ___________. What the FUCK is going on in the world?! What happened to LIFE! What happened to becoming SUCCESSFUL in things that you LOVE?! What happened to being an Innovator?! Taking RISK?! SAYING FUCK IT?! I'm going to roll the dice and if I fail, I will pick myself back up and do it again until I WIN! We are the people that we have been waiting for and it is time to realize how powerful we are. And worst case scenario...we can go become a "salary man"...
