Passion, excitement, inspiration or love – whatever you choose to call it, is the key reason we do remarkable things. Take a minute break here, think about the most significant moments in your life.

What is common in all of those moments?

I am sure your answer will be Passion or excitement, love, inspiration.

I want to talk about the latest Batman movie – The Dark Knight, the movie has a production budget of $185 mn [boxofficemojo], but excited millions of people all over the world. There are 130,000 people rating the movie at 10 on 10 (excellent) out of the 194k people who voted at IMDb. The movie grossed $ 390 Mn in the first 3 weeks. Compare this how many companies, institutions, businesses spend millions of dollars without exciting single individual.

Have you excited anyone today? or got excited?
