'How to start a Movement' - Derek Sivers

I feel that a leader is a very important person of the crowd. However, it also takes a follower to make the leader a leader. It is often seen as the leader is the most important person of the whole crowd but in actual fact, it is not. It is the first few followers who made they the movement successful. After the first few followers who joined, more people will join in. Therefore, the first follower is also considered as a leader. He is what makes a lone nut a leader. This is what sparks a movement. After all, whats a movement with only one person? Therefore i feel that followers are equally as important as the leader as the follower is the one who makes the leader not be seen as a loner doing things alone just like in the video. -Mei Ling

How to start a movement-Derek Sivers

Who starts a movement? People will normally say the leader, who is the person who initiated the movement. However, the person who really starts the movement, is the person who did not care abt his face, did not care about what others think of him, did not bother abt what others will say, and join the person into doing something, no matter if it is silly, and do it with him. That is the true person who starts a movement. 

That person will lead others into following what he has done and not make them feel awkward and be left out. This person makes the initiator and the audience not feel awkward and is kind of like the in between which lets the initiator gain supporters through the actions of the first supporter.

Thus, the person who really starts a real movement is the first supporter, the person who makes everyone bond together and supoort each other. That is the real hero who has the bravery to start a movement.
