I liked this book because I found in it inspiration and motivation, it was about stories from the real life. While reading I think that this book will touch the hearts and minds of many people and it brings hope and courage through the examples of the power of these extraordinary men and women who change the world. We have mostly studied and heard talking about business entrepreneurs and I think that the fact that this book was about social entrepreneurs made it amazing and more attractive for me, the way that they measure success not by how much money they make, but by how many lives they change. May be this comes strange to many people but I found it adorable.
It tells us that you don't need to be a politician or rich to improve the lives of other people or even your friends. You just need the will to do it and the motivation and their motivation usually comes from a person or event in their life. They managed realizing their goal
not through professionals but through inspired individuals that use determination and innovation to make a difference. People who passed similar situations in their previous lives and wanted to contributed in helping the others.
Everyone can start giving its contribution even if it is small because as it is said “Small Is Good”. This is an inspiring principle which may lead to big things. They say that “if you are truly a social entrepreneur, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger” and I like this phrase vey much. But if we don’t think we can be a social entrepreneur we can consider working for a social entrepreneur rather than trying to be one. Regardless of the role we take in helping to change the world, our contribution can be significant, we just need to be determined and innovative.
To conclude as the author says the lessons of this book can also be applied across all types of organizations and industries. Any organization can use these stories that address many of the most difficult issues facing people today to gain inspiration to solve problems where others have failed.

ReplyDeleteI am completely with you on this matter. This book touched me too and let me look at seemingly small things from another angle.I agree that if you can't be social entrepreneur be a part of his/her idea at least because indifference, to my mind, is one of the most dangerous things that can kill a society.
hello together,
ReplyDeleteof course in each story there is also the lyric part and after reading this book in the beginning you become enlightening than you realize that there can be still hope and at the end you are wondered.... The stories of these social entrepreneurs I’m sure has inspire and encourage many people who seek to build a better world.
but anyway there is also the brutal reality we have to face everyday.
don't forget the story of the guy in Brasil, yes it is true he achieved his goal but with what personal costs...
good night

ReplyDeleteDear Erisa,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post and i share the same opinion with you. Of course no everybody can be a social entrepreneur, but everybody can give his precious support and engagement to the entrepreneurs. Let the entrepreneurs be the Leader and the other majority good Followers (as followers are a essential part of them, and both are vital for each of them)
Regards,
Dear Erisa
ReplyDeleteYour absolutely right when you say that our politicians do not have a clue related to the social entrepreneurs and having new ideas.
Their ideas are ending only they fill their pockets with money.
