Get something on Current!
If you've got an itch to create something for Current but can't shoot or edit, here's an easy way to jump into the pool with everyone else--send us a quote. We're looking for words that inspire and make you look at life in a new way. What's that mean? Check these out.
"Go west, young man."
- Horace Greeley
"Don't confuse activity with achievement."
- John Wooden
The quote by Horace Greeley is well known, but not quite what we're looking for. If you read the John Wooden quote, you're likely to stop, think, and have an "ah-ha!" moment of clarity. That's what we're after. So, have at it. What words have inspired you or guided you through life? They can be from the famous, the infamous, or the virtually unknown. Dig deep. Think globally. There are people from around the world, and across history, with observations begging to be shared. Make sure you cite the originator of the quote so that we can cross check it, and try finding something that fifty other people won't be posting. It'll increase your chances of getting your submission on the air, and we'll give you credit for it. Good luck! We're looking forward to seeing what you've got.
