Human beings as machines for story telling

Yes, we change things through this medium. We tell the world what we want to change, and why. We find people who want to help us, join us, fight against us. We tell the world our dreams, our frustrations, and our ideas for the future. Without our ability to tell a story, there would be no change.

The Do lectures – Wales.
April 25th-29th 2012.

Ideas+Energy=Change

Be at the start

Before reputations are made.

Before word of mouth gets out there.

Before the nice articles get written.

Before the chatter on Twitter.

Before the plus 1 on google.

Before the awards are won.

The pioneers come.

Be at the start.
