No. This post is not about that type of world domination, nor is it a recipe to accomplish such an ambitious undertaking. The reason I’m writing this is because I would like to bring a very thought-provoking piece of reading to your attention.
Every now and then you come across a reading that resonates with all your ideas and conceptions of the world in such a profound manner, that you just have to get out of your way and share it with everyone. Chris Guillebeau’s World Domination was just that reading for me this week. I found Chris’ work so riveting that I felt compelled to share his manifesto with all of you:
If you want it badly enough, and are willing to make some changes in your life to cause it to happen, you too can take over the world… or do anything else you really want to do. Yes, you really can have it all. The only things you’ll need to give up are assumptions, expectations, and the comfort zone that holds you back from greatness.
Yes, to truly take over the world, you’ll need to consider the broader concerns of all humanity — not just your own life, and not just the lives of a few others close to you.
The work is only 29 pages long. It took me roughly 30 minutes to read Chris’ mission statement (I’m a slow reader). I highly suggest you take some time out and go read this. Good food for thought.
