Hal Runkel put the power of one this way:
Quote
Every significant change to a system begins with the same communicated message: "I'm not sure what anyone else is going to do, but this is what I'm going to do." Life altering changes do not begin with gangs of people all simultaneously acting as one. They begin with quiet statements, quiet actions of singular fortitude. They begin with a resounding resolve to change herself, whatever the outcome.
It's always nice when you find you're not banging your head against the wall all by yourself. Thanks again to the people on this board for taking me from mad to smile again.
