Time for Radical Change
One of my favorite columnists is Thomas Friedman of the New York Times. His writing reads very easily, while his ideas are very clear and deep. His latest column is entitled, “Radical in the White House.” He discusses his hope that Obama will be a true radical in the sense of not being afraid to take chances, making big changes, and using his influence to lead a movement.
For Obama to successfully pull this off, however, each one of us needs to be a bit of a radical. We all need to put ourselves out there. Are we willing to take chances, make changes in our lives, and be a little uncomfortable? Let’s hope there are enough of us out there willing to be radicals, so that our future will be much better than our recent past.
Recommended Reading by Thomas Friedman:
I strongly recommend Thomas Friedman’s book, The World Is Flat, about globalization.
His latest book about the environment, Hot, Flat, and Crowded, is next on my must-read list.
P.S. My intention for this blog is not to just be about politics and change, but since we’ve just chosen a new President, I couldn’t help but add another post on these topics. In up-coming posts, I’ll be writing more about money, investing, work, finding a job, and entertainment.
