What is Think Defy Unite? What does it mean?
"Think Defy Unite" is a call to action, a formula for progress, and a declaration that now is the time for change.
Stop for a moment, and consider these questions:
How do you feel about...
... the political, religious, and ethnic conflicts that are ripping our societies apart?
... greedy corporations that profit by exploiting the natural environment in unsustainable ways?
... financial systems that reward the very people responsible for pillaging our economies?
... the way you've been exploited, manipulated, and deceived by "The Authorities"?Is everything just fine, or is it time to make a change?
It only takes one person with a dream to begin any form of positive change.
But to fully succeed you'll need to do three things:1. Visualize a better reality, then create a plan to make it happen.
2. Believe in yourself and in your plan, no matter what other people may think or do.
3. Convince like-minded people to work with you towards your common goals.In other words, you'll need to ThinkDefyUnite.
Can one person really make a difference?
"Once upon a time, there was a strong and handsome warrior, and he was not afraid of anyone or anything. After having fought many battles, he was proclaimed to be the greatest warrior in the world. But his title and his freedom were taken away by "The Authorities" because he refused to join their army and to fight in their war against people who were not his enemy. He stood his ground, and he defied those who would make him do something that he knew was wrong, even though this decision cost him his freedom and made him the object of scorn and derision from much of the population. In the years that followed, many people around the world began to realize that what this man did was moral and right. He ultimately convinced the highest court in his homeland to rule in his favor, and the judgments that he opposed were reversed, and he regained his freedom. He fought many more battles, and soon once again was proclaimed to be the champion of the world, and his legend grew. The strong and handsome warrior went on to become one of the most famous and respected men who ever lived."
This is a true story. The warrior's name is Muhammad Ali.
Throughout recorded history all of humanity's greatest achievements were accomplished by people who:
- Dared to think and act in new and profound ways.
- Defended their ideals despite intense resistance from "The Authorities" of their time.
- Convinced others to also think and act in new and profound ways.Consider these other remarkable lives, and how they altered our perception of the world:
The Scientists: Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, Darwin, Einstein, Bohr.
The Explorers: Ericson, Polo, Columbus, Magellan, Amundsen, Cousteau.
The Innovators: Bell, Ford, Wright Bros., Edison, Eastman, Marconi, Jobs.
The Philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Kierkegaard.
The Artists: DaVinci, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Mozart, Picasso.Even if your dream is a modest one, the process to realize that dream is the same.
ThinkDefyUnite and together we can make the world a better place.

Bamboo is naturally organic, and because it is genetically resistant to disease and environmental attack, bamboo does not require chemical pesticides, insecticides, or fertilizers.
