Speak last, not loudest
To make change you have to leave the room. You have to stand up, walk out, and make it happen. Force it or plan for it, it doesn't matter - you have to climb the stairs. Progress doesn't happen inside behind a computer, no one's telling stories about how great their email is.
And I now believe it takes just two people to change the world: Someone to ask "Do you think this is crazy?" and someone to say "Yes, let's keep going."
We have everything we need to change the world for better or for worse.
While we never want to work alone, we can stand alone.
