Start your movement

In a recent conversation, I was told that it is better to use what we have than to build theories on what we should have, or what is good to have and I completely agree with this. While I may have lots of ideas, I need to zero in and start from one, and it should not be an impossible one.

To implement any idea it is necessary to decide upon the starting point. While some parts of the society are trying to create the awareness by rebelling and campaigning and striking, another part of the society needs to attack the same problem from a different starting point. If each of us see the same problem but come up with different techniques of solving it, the problem is bound to get solved much faster than the time taken by one person or organisation with a single vision.
Hence participation is a must. If you have an idea, or if you think you can make a difference, you should act on it. It does not matter how big or small your participation is, I think it is important for you to at least make the effort. And I don't even say this in the manner of charity. Do something that means more than just a regular job and see how it makes you feel. Do it again for that feeling which you get in return. Giving could be the most selfish act that you have ever done in your life.

Happiness is a very selfish concept. To be really happy you have to be proud of your self and respect and love your self. For that you will need to understand yourself and be good at things which the inner you loves doing. Personally it has always helped me to sometimes step back and think what is my idea of an ideal person? Am I that person? What is stopping me from being that person? What should be my starting point?

Also technically I know that overcoming the starting inertia is the most difficult task. You need maximum torque to go from speed 0 to 40 miles per hour. Once in motion, reaching 80 mph is not difficult.
