Brainwashed into acting ordinary?

I just found this on Seth Godin's blog. If you have not read it you should (both this entry and his blog in general).

So many people don't get it. Do something, do your best, put it out there, get criticized, suck it up, do better, don't give up. As Churchill said 'Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts'. This is one of my favorite things about the mac indie community. People dare great things.

WWDC 2007 I went to the indie talk that Scott Stevenson put together and blogged about it here. It was packed with people daring great things.

Going back to Seth's post, he says have a great project, a blog, a reputation whatever. He is talking about daring great things, risking something, going public. This as much a reminder to me as it is a pleading with others. Dare great things. Go for it, just do it. If you don't ever step out on a limb and risk then you will not ever achieve great things.

If you have not watched this;

You should.

Make something outstanding, stop acting ordinary.
