The Developing World Manifesto

[not sure about original source..anyone?]

You are the developed world.
I am the developing world.

You think that most things have been developed.
I look for new opportunities.

You look to your own part of the world for good ideas.
I look everywhere for the best ideas.

You know all about your world.
I know all about my world. And yours.

You are stuck in the old infrastructure. thinking – mindset
I absorb and adopt the latest technology.

You teach.
I learn.

You try to protect what you have got.
I am determined to get what is mine.

Your dream for tomorrow is to keep the status quo.
I am dreaming great dreams – and making them come true.

Change makes you uncomfortable.
For me, it is as natural as breathing.

You are used to being in the lead.
You take it for granted.
You think that this gives you an advantage,
And you say it will take us a hundred years to catch up.

I know better.

You live in the developed world.
I live in the developing world.

You do not know where you are headed.
I am already embracing my dreams.
