Don’t start a business until people are asking you to.*
Derek Sivers
By escape into the mass, man loses his most intrinsic quality: responsibility.**
Viktor Frankl
In the “mass” there are those who tell and those who are told,
And to those who are telling, all those who are told look the same;
In a community, there are those who are asking and those who are giving,
And those who are giving have many different gifts, so
the important thing is to respond to the right ask.
Those who are told say, It’s your responsibility, but
you already know what those who are giving say – after which
there is only who? and when?
Awe awakens the better angels of our nature.^
