Revolutionary...or something...

I saw a sign while at Chipotle Saturday that read, "Unfortunately, doing the right thing IS revolutionary."  I said to myself, damn...that's good, and right on the nose. 

When I hatched this RogueMechanic deal, I thought that my "Welcome to the Revolution" was cool.  And yes, it was before the Chevy "Revolution" ad campaign... Now I think that the "Revolution" thing in promotional statement has lost it's punch of a year or so ago. That's why I have dropped using it in the recent past.  That and it kind of has a negative/dark perception that just isn't me.  But after seeing the above mentioned tag line while while waiting in line for my burrito, I might have to reconsider (at least for this post!).

I was and still am in the process of "revolting" against this industry's apparent lack of professionalism and high level of service that the consumer of higher quality bikes deserved.  My goal was and to this day still is to bring a new higher level of service that is unprecedented.  That's was my idea of being "revolutionary".  Having integrity, being honest, sincere, trustworthy, and professional.....essentially, doing the right thing.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.  So, I guess if I'm doing the right thing, I am revolutionary... Thanks for reading.  -John

Thanks Divine! I try to make an effort to praise those who are doing good and have the "best practices" in their market, but it's not always the easy thing to do. Sometimes keeping it positive is not the same as keeping it real....

are you revolutionary? are you "fighting the man"? or are you just offering an new option? which is great. i'm sorry, i just get images of spike lee's "do the right thing;" which i hated. you do recognize places that are doing good, and not necessarily fighting against them. i understand how the term "revolution" has a negative connotation, like some angst ridden youth. so let's say the term revolution means new, and exciting. a different option. because you still depend on the "industry" just like chipotle depends on you being hungry, and chicken farm. using other industries to support their own. are we self-sufficent beings? so rock on, and keep on doing "the right thing."
