‘Things’ embody commitment

I met many people with many plans, many ideas. Largely, it involved talking or presenting concepts.

I saved some money and put it in designing and actually creating some earrings. Not a grand collection but whatever there is, is quite impressive.

In the last few days, and today as well, I met people. They seem more responsive than earlier. The only difference is I have something in actual (earrings) to show. May be this 'something' changed my walking and talking and so people responded. Or may be people respond differently to what they see in actual.

Commitment in the smallest of ways elicits responses. Tangible forms of commitment, more so.

    My boss always gives an example which I thought was relevant here.
    If an NGO asks a 100 people to donate money for a cause, chances are only 10-20 people might donate.
    If, on the other hand the NGO starts off with asking a 100 people to wear a lapel pin on their shirt as a mark of support towards the cause, chances are that at least 60-70 of them will wear that ‘tangible handle’.
    If you go and approach those 60-70 people after a week and ask them to contribute money towards the same cause, chances are that 30 of them will contribute because they’ve already given their word for it by wearing that pin.
    A tangible handle always works better than just an idea.
