Your Idea Can Change the World

"Your idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to be yours alone. The more the idea is yours alone, the more freedom you have to do something really amazing. The more amazing, the more people will click with your idea. The more people click with your idea, the more it will change the world." - (Hugh Macleod, How To Be Creative: 2, 08-22-04"
