I’m not sure why, but this morning I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes from the French futurist Michel Godet. It has to do with being insecure with our intellectual contributions to whatever debate:
"Remember, even if everything has already been said about a subject, it hasn’t been said by everybody, and it hasn’t been understood by everybody."
So, wondering whether you possess the necessary wisdom to speak out? Afraid of sounding hackneyed? Think you’ve got nothing new to add?
Just do it. Just write it. Just say it. You may reach a new audience. You may persuade people more than you realize.
