Some of us are better fighters and some of us are better inventers and some
of us are better teachers.  All are needed to make such a great change as
rapidly as possible.  Strength in diversity.  Each of us needs to find the
niche we fill best and use our unique skills and passions to the best of
our abilities.  Some of us are better managers and some of us are better
visionaries;  these skills will help guide us and help to keep the balance.

I read into this that the greatest example, if living in obscurity, will
hardly be an example for others.  Spreading ideas is also important.
Although, they may not be as effective coming from hypocrites.  Again,
balance.  Some can spread the word about others who do great things.

Find Your Niche and Fill It!
