Something that inspired me about tipping Point is that it only takes one to start something to start a movement and make something happen. this is inspireing to me because like many people i like to think that i can some how make differences in the world, make things tip. But what kinda worries me is that i am not one of those people that have the ablities to make this hugh changes. i'm not a maven, salesmen, or an informer. but its not that bad i guess because those people sound alittle wierd to me. i don't want to be an informer because it seems like all they care about is informing others about their greatness by just telling telling and telling. not really getting to know anyone not connecting and or getting to know anybody and thats not me. i'm not a salesmen because they just sell it and thats it. no connection. mavens meets and knows alot of people and this is the type of person i like most and the person that i relate to most. but i don't know nearly the number of people that the book describs as mavens. Jack said in class mavens are like the people on facebook, the online social network, that have five or six hundred or 1000 friends and they really don't connect with any of them. i have about one hundred friends on facebook and i think that i really have a connection and friendship with 90% of them. which is not at all like a maven so thats why i'm not a maven and never will be.
