• MLK: "If you don't have something you would die for, you're not living."
• Ghandi "Every night you die, and every morning is like another birthday."
• 4- Revolution

• 1 great thinker/idea is at the root of every revolution
• start with yourself
• "How are you adding to the party?"
• If you don't like where you are in your life, create a personal revolution
• Wake up every morning and say, "I'm back!"
• 60 - 80% of people are unhappy
