Facebook didn’t make it that big based on data. They became the Social Marketing goliath because of faith.
Your wife didn’t marry you based on data. She married you based on faith.
Obama didn’t get elected on data. He got elected on faith.
More data is not a good thing. More data eliminates faith.
Without faith, you’ll never make that quantum leap. You’ll never run for office, create a movement or a company that changes the world. People don’t flock to spreadsheets, they flock to people with faith.
Once the spreadsheet runs your decision-making process, you’re doomed. Bean counters will always find a reason to shoot your idea down. Vision based on data feels cold, almost inhuman.
People want a human, emotional connection. It warms them from the inside, it makes them feel cozy and loved.
People want faith.
