I took the cue from Seth
Godin. In The Big Moo: Stop Trying to be Perfect and Start Being
Remarkable”, Godin pooled together 33 powerful minds in
business to give their views on how we can be remarkable. The 33
thought-leaders and pioneers contributed their ideas for free because
they wanted to change the world, together.
Godin says, "Good is no
longer good enough, because now everything is good enough. People no
longer want to be satisfied. They want to be blown away. Remarkable is
not in the eyes of the producer. It doesn’t matter how hard
you’ve worked on something or how cool you think it is.
It’s if the consumer thinks it’s worth remarking
about, then it’s remarkable."
The future of the world
lies in people coming together in sincere dialogue and conversations to
ask new questions and frame new approaches to solve complex issues
together. To be able to collaborate, we first need to hear each
other’s stories and contribute to making sense of our
experiences. We need to tell stories of our encounters with remarkable
people and places, and invite others to spin off their own stories of
other remarkable people and places. How else can we weave new dreams?
