In a recent LinkedIn article “10 Cherished Beliefs of Highly
Successful People,” Read Here the tenth belief is “They believe they can change a small slice of the world –
and will.”
Entirely too many people have decided they cannot make a
difference. They think “What could I possibly do to change the world? I’m only
one person.” Steve Jobs said, “The ones who are crazy enough to think that they
can change the world are the ones who do.” So be crazy; believe you can change
the world.
Whoever decided that in order to change the world you had to
come up with the solution to world hunger or create everlasting world peace?
Why can’t changing the world be as simple as volunteering at your local soup
kitchen once a week, or becoming a big brother or big sister for Big Brothers
Big Sisters of America? Heck, why can’t changing the world be helping with the
fight for equal pay for women, or solving a reoccurring problem in your office?
Perhaps these suggestions are not as glamorous as solving
world hunger, but we cannot all be Norman Borlaug. We can all make a difference
though. Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Start there.
Simply think about what you want to change in the world and what you can change
in your daily life to help start that change.
At this point you may be wondering what on earth changing
the world has to do with business or talent solutions. Change is constant. It
is continuously happening all around us. If you are not the one influencing
change in your company, community, country, world, who is? Someone is, there
are people changing the world right now while you’re reading this. Just ask
yourself, why not you?
