•from the book: The Backdoor to Enlightenment:
•Eight Steps to Living Your Dreams and Changing Your World
77Will you be the 10th person?
• For every nine people who denounce innovation, only one will encourage it.
• For every nine people who do things the way they have always been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a better way.
• For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked building, only one will ever come around and check the back door.
• Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told are valuable.
• Person 10 determines for himself what has value.
