Sharing: the Power of Ripples

David Priemer ~ September 25th, 2009

Earlier this week one of our awesome users, Sara Tucker, the Director of Coaching and Team Skills at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, sent us a very nice email with a fantastic quote. It was a great and timely reminder of why we do what we do here at Rypple, so I wanted to share it:

Hi David,
I just came across this quote last night while skimming Margaret Wheatley’s Leadership and the New Science.

“Each time a person stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, (s)he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. – Robert F. Kennedy”

I know that spelling is not the same, but I thought I’d send it along.  I’ve heard you all at Rypple talk about changing the world, one question at a time.

Sara

We hope that the hidden feedback our service helps you get, can help you make even a small change for the better in the world…one Rypple at a time we say!

Thanks Sara for the great email and letting us share it!

(If you’re curious, the quote is from a speech Kennedy gave on June 6th, 1966 to the University of Cape Town, in South Africa)
