Building momentum just takes a tiny push

Began studying for my history course on international relations in the twentieth century and have discovered the power of collaboration.  The instructor has provided a long list of over two hundred terms that will be referred to in the exam and it seemed rather daunting to attack that all by myself.  So, I threw out an email to the rest of the class to see if anyone was willing to break down the list and we just do a small portion each.  Figured it was worth a shot, even if I just one or two responses.  Well it worked out and we have seven of us tackling the list.  I'm beginning to learn that with a little push, people are willing to help.  I wouldn't call myself a leader, I just like to get things done and if I can make the task easier for everyone that's great.

Change will happen, those best prepared for change will prosper.
