No dreams too big !!

Hi all , I wanna introduce something I found quite meaningful here ...

Let me introduce this guy , his name is Matt Harding. He has an unusual job ... He was a computer game designer and later he gave up the job to travel around asia untill all his money ran out. And during his journey :

A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt an idea. They were standing around taking pictures in Hanoi, and his friend said "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do that dance. I'll record it." He was referring to a particular dance Matt does. It's actually the only dance Matt does. He does it badly. Anyway, this turned out to be a very good idea.

A couple years later, someone found the video online and passed it to someone else, who passed it to someone else, and so on. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."

The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride gum. They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.

And there , he produced the first video :






What follows is 11 millions of views on Youtube. He got famous and he subsequently, produce the 2nd one, and to me very meaningful sequel to the first. This time, he didnt dance alone dully in front of all the landmarks in the world. He invited local people to dance with him.What's started by one men has inspired countless others.25 thousands people emailed him for thanking him and express interest in participating in the next filming. About 3000 people was filmed in this video this time round. Well , what's your thought after watching the video ? I think i sense world peace and cultural integration .



Good ? That's another 11 millions of views. Impressive right ? Does the video inspire you ? It inspired me quite alot .

Then there's people inviting him to seminars/lectures to share his experience . How he connects with people around the world and invite them to dance with him. How he become famous etc. He danced in Hollywood studio now. He danced with Tyra Banks , and more to come..

So what do you think ?
