If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow. And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in.

Additional Information: This quote by entrepreneur Derek Sivers is from his 2010 TED Talk, which briefly but effectively explains how social and political movements are started, using footage of a lone dancer at a concert starting a dance movement. This quote means that if you really want to support a new trend that makes a positive impact, you need to be brave enough to join in and to encourage others to do the same; even if the movement only has one person, be courageous enough to join that person without worrying that other people will think you are strange for doing so.
