I mean every word of the title. Its the most useful video, I have seen in my lifetime. I am adding a new category to Tech tola from now for such posts. That is the least I can do to support this. I have quoted below the reply I sent to my group as soon as I saw this video.

My reply to a mail group after watching this - This is the best video I have seen in years.. An eye opener...

I guess its high time we realized the system and start supporting the points she mentioned in the end rather than just moving with the crowd like goats following their predecessors..

Especially I liked the happiness point. Its very true. Ever been in a true villager's life and realized how happy and contented he is in spite of television, iPod's, Camera Mobile's.. We have been talking, even me, I guess its time to act. Its the second thing to inspire about standing up for a social cause, long back we had a debate about how our country and system is corrupted and what WE can do to change it ?

I'm spreading this right away... Things may not change overnight, at least its the first tiny step to create awareness to stop wasting resources, start spending time for yourself, save nature like switching off TVs, Monitors, Fan and etc when not using it. Remember she said its a linear system.

We can also start buying stuff more carefully, than just buying something as its cool. Lets look for Re-cycle symbols when comparing products. Lets start using bicycles whenever possible, its fun, a great exercise in this lifestyle and an amazing energy saver. These are all little things we can afford and easy to follow, if we have the guts to discard what others might think of us..

Who do you want to be - one among the crowd to forget/make fun of this or the one who will stand by the change. Decide yourself. I welcome more simple powerful ideas too.
