This was The Quote from Spiderman (movie 1)
“with great power comes great responsibility”
Turns out Spiderman (and Peter Parker) took that pretty seriously, and I think you should too.
If you don’t feel like you have great power, here’s the secret sauce – the flip side is true too. The more responsibility you have, the more power you have.
Every day it’s tempting to shirk responsibility. To leave things up to your boss, (if you have one) the government, the big corporations, your neighbour’s cat, whatever.
I’m not saying you have to be responsible for Every Thing in your live. You can’t. But when it really counts, taking responsibility for something empowers you.
Not happy to leave your responsibility for your income up to your boss? Start your own business on the side. Not happy to give responsibility for your education up to mass media? Crack a book, read some blogs by intelligent people, educate yourself. Not ok with leaving responsibility for your power supply up to a big corporation? Stick some solar panels on your roof and install a wind turbine.
Just remember – with great responsibility comes great power.
