A cynic, Oscar Wilde wrote, is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I was reminded of that that yet again when I read a piece, The selfish cynic, posted this week on Seth Godin’s blog.  Take a moment. It is well worth your time to read the entire article.

Anyone can be a cynic – that’s easy. It is much more difficult (some would say impossible) to be an idealist. The harder path, though, lies somewhere in between.

Like blades of grass growing up in the cracks of the sidewalks, the idealists continually reach for the sun.

Where would we all be if they didn’t?
