An excerpt from:
​The World is Flat, Release 3.0 by Thomas Friedman (2007 Picador Edition page 635)

The world is being flattened. I didn’t start it and you can’t stop it, except at a great cost to human development and your own future. But we can tilt it, shape it, for better or for worse. If it is to be for the better, not for the worse, then you a
nd your generation must not live in fear of either the terrorists or tomorrow, of either al-Qaeda or Infosys (a very large overseas outsourcing company). You can flourish in this flat world, but it does take the right imagination and the right motivation. While your lives have been powerfully shaped by 9/11 (World Trade Tower attacks), the world needs you to be forever the generation of 11/9 (Berlin Wall falling) – the generation of strategic optimist, the generation with more dreams than memories, the generation that wakes up each morning and not only imagines that things can be better but also acts on that imagination everyday.
