One Individual, One Message - 'The Power of One'




Today as we're bombarded with information conveyed over numerous stages, we may become desensitized or doubtful. We're not effortlessly moved by facts. Yet, those rare messages and experiences that strike an emotional chord can engage us in ways that goes beyond reason.Since the collation of the universe, one atom, one particle or one electron has been making a difference all by itself. If a helium atom has one less electron, it would turn into a Hydrogen atom. That is the power & importance of ‘One’.

Today in the age of growing media and the easy ways to learn to master any art adds up as an advantage to bring a change. It’s easy to gain power and it’s easy to find the deed that you want to stand up for. It’s easy to gain the information that you desire and it’s easy to make your own decisions. It’s much simpler to reach out to a mass number of people with the growth of new media. Today a person sitting in Mumbai, India can participate in a world class surgery taking place in New York (U.S.A.) just by logging on to Twitter.


Mass communication and Social media has widely grown. It has now become easier & affordable to influence anyone. The time now is ripe for reformers, the timing and the tools have created a powerful stew for activism. Only one person is needed to make a change. The power exists and only ‘one’ is needed to harness it. “Always listen to yourself... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention”  Bryce Courtenay. The times of following a cult have gone, it’s now time to make your own decisions and choose your own path. 

The power in you is just to have the confidence that I have what there needs to bring the change. It takes one powerful individual to make a change. All you require is ‘ONE’ person with ‘ONE’ great idea to disrupt everything.
