Feel powerless? Think one person can't make a difference, even change the world?
Think again. Here are just a few who (for better or worse) did just that:
Julius Caesar
Siddhārtha Gautama (The Supreme Buddha)
Napoleon
Alexander The Great
Constantine
Genghis Khan
Joan of Arc
Mahatma Gandhi
Adolf Hitler
Albert Einstein
Dr. Jonas Salk
Bill Gates

ReplyDeleteVery true, Eric. And, good or bad, the intentions ripple out...
ReplyDeleteYep, there are good people and then there are the bad seeds....it's strange but we are better for all of them.
ReplyDeleteWalt Disney. Ray Kroc. Jim Henson. This is fun.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel that most of the people on this list who changed the world maybe shouldn't have? Nice 55, my friend.

So true. Though we have a better chance if we focus on ourselves first, because we can change or affect others around us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday~
Pointed, effective reminder of getting off your ass and not moaning about how nobody's doing anything. =)
ReplyDeleteGood point, Eric. (How did you know I've been feeling powerless, you psychic you?)
ReplyDeleteGreat 55.
we all carry the power within us to change the world, some choose to, some for the good and others...
ReplyDeleteThis, Sir Jack -- is one darn-tootin' fact!
ReplyDeleteOne CAN do amazing things.
My hero in that respect is Maria Montessori.

We can all make a difference if we try. Unfortunately, many don't try.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they changed the world, maybe not exactly for good (at least not all), but they did.
ReplyDeleteNice point of view :) Made me think!
Joan of Arc?
ReplyDeleteI Love Historical 55's Bubba.
