Reflection-"How to start a movement" by Derek Sivers

After watching the video on "How to start a movement' by Derek Sivers, I learnt that a movement actually just needs one's courage to step out and do it. In the video, a man was dancing in the middle of the beach shirtless. It would seem as though he is doing something really weird in the public. However, one person from the ran to him and started to do the same thing as him. He started dancing with the shirtless man. It may still seem weird now but there were more and more followers who started to join the crowd and dance along. At this time, it no longer looked weird, however if you are still sitting down there along, you would look like the odd one out. From this example, I can see that if you are brave enough, you just have to step out to show what you think is right or wrong. It may be very discouraging as all of the others was siding on the same thing and you are scared of being laughed at or failure. However, as long as you can start it, you are already halfway through it, all you are left is the followers.
