Improving the Situation

It is easy to complain and criticize when the status quo is, shall we say, less than optimal.  We talk and criticize and even write up formal solutions in articles and blog posts.  But that kind of attitude will never change the situation.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause. – Theodore Roosevelt

Can’t someone else do it? No.  “Someone else” is a fictional character.  If you have a dream, start or join the movement that will make that dream a reality.

We’re doing it, care to join?

Think different.

Apple once used the simple phrase, “Think different.” as an advertising slogan, by which they meant that people should be open to new possibilities, to not be content with the status quo — to see the world in a different way.

We also encourage you to “Think different.”  Do not be content with the status quo, but moreover, we want to see a difference not only in the possibilities people think about, but to see a difference in the very way in which people think.  Life is more than the endless sequence of events, of facts and figures, of tests and failures.  Life is a movement to be lived, things and words are filled with meaning, and “thinking” means more than just cold rationalizing or self-talk inside your head.  Looking at it differently, “thinking” means understanding — thinking means seeing.

The way you live flows out of the way you think, so “Think different.”
