An idea worth spreading
The Industrial revolution of having a factory job is coming to an end. It is replaced by a new economy of connectness. People who make change today are those who challenge the status quo; those who see opportunities in the midst of chaos and those who are not afraid of failure, but are aware that failure is part of growth. In the Startup Revolution, doing what you are told is the new definition of laziness. This new laziness has nothing to do with physical labour and everything to do with fear. If you are not going to start that business, make those sales calls, invest in innovation or push that insight, if you are sheep-walking your life, asking no questions, changing nothing, adding nothing new, you are not avoiding being lazy because you need physical rest. You are hiding out because you are afraid of expending emotional and mental labour.
