So what's your excuse?

Last thursday, my colleague Gokul showed me a video clip of Anand Agarwala to demonstrate some unconventional thinking and I was blown over. It looked like a lot of fun, something I wouldn't associate with my current computer desktop interface. And as we excitedly discussed the video, I was left thinking of the impact Anand was creating. I've met many participants in my workshops who suffer from "excusitis" - a disease that tricks you into believing that the outside world is responsible for your current state. In every workshop I meet participants who want to shift their current orbits but think they're incapable of doing so.

Here's Anand, charmingly demonstrating the impact that simple but unconventional thinking can create and the power of being resourceful vs the power of resources.

Watch the video by copying the link below onto your browser's address bar. Would love to hear your thoughts on the video. And hey, also think about what's your excuse for not impacting your universe! Enjoy!!! http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/anand_agarawala_demos_his_bumptop_desktop.html
