The Power of the “Little Guy”

Sometimes its hard to believe that the little guy wields any power. There are the “important people” who seem to control everything that happens, and no one gives any heed to the little guy.

But when the little guys band together, their force is unstoppable. Take for example General Motors. They were the biggest car company by far. Their executives flew fancy jets all over the world, the company had richly decorated offices in every major city of the country.  Government officials consulted with them on economic and international policy. They were important. And they didn’t give a hoot about the little guy.

Until, that is, the little guy fought back. He stopped buying their inferior cars. First in the thousands, then in the hundreds of thousands, and then in the millions, they switched over to Toyotas and Hondas. No more would they blindly follow the dictates of the “important poeple”. And so, the millions of “little people” took the important GM and brought it down to the ground.

You may think that you are just a little guy. But your ability to make your own decisions gives you a force that is very powerful. On Election Day, all the little guys together decide who will be the important one. In Lakewood, all the little people of the community decided to ignore the dictates of the important people, and in the process, showed them how not important they really are.

Maybe you aren’t such a “little guy” after all.
