How to srart a movement

I have listened to the podcast called: “How to start a movement”. This podcast is dedicated to the “movement problems”. Here is the link:

The author has very interesting manner of his speech. He uses metaphor. There are a lot of people on the beach, 2 or 3 guys are dancing,  5 minutes later there are 6 guys, then 10,20 and so on. The author says that we should not be scared of looking silly, because we have to try, and then we will have followers. He says that it is difficult to be leader and to found a leadership in every kind of our activity, but we have to do that, our business will have a lot of followers if we try.

Although the podcast is not long, that’s very interesting, and the problem is very actual. Sometimes people have money, time, recourses to start from the scratch but they are afraid that they will not have followers and nobody will be interested in their product. That’s the big mistake.
As for me I think that sometimes we should be silly at starting doing something, because later we will have a great success.

I have listened to the podcast called "How to live before we die". That was really very interesting. That is devoted  to the problems of our choices, our lifes and, of course, it was the story of success.

Here is the reference http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html.

When I had listened it the first time I understood practically everything (near 90%), but there were some difficult words about health and diseases,which I heard first. The speaker (That was well known man for everyone-Steve Jobs. He is the chief executive officer of "Apple") told correct, so it was not very difficult to understand him.

His speech consists of 3 parts.Firstly he told about his birth, then about choice and success and then about diseases and the strong will.

He dropped out his University, because he could not pay, so that step was pretty scary for him at that time, he did not know what to do.He decided to take a calligraphy class. He wanted to know everything about it. Ten years later when he had designed the first Macintosh computer, his experience became useful. Mac was the first computer with beautiful typography.

He said:"you have to trust in something: karma, destiny, whatever." I thing that only our faith helps us to choose the right way, the right decision. He could never create the Mac, but he did.

Later Steve Jobs had a cancer, but he coped with his strong faith.

I like that speech, it is very useful for everyone of us, it helps in realizing our lifes.
Thanks for attention
