Manifestos - old and new

I like this manifesto from author/entrepeneur, Robyn Scott. I copied this from her website because I love new age manifestos (I just wish it was a bigger file so the text was more readable).

I first came upon the word manifesto when I was in second year uni. We were learning about modernist art movements. Some of the founders of these art movements wrote rambling, somewhat difficult to understand manifestos and as we plodded through the art movements chronologically, our photocopied readings included each of the associated manifestos. I didn't think much of them back then, in art history. In fact, I found most of art history at uni completely irrelevant and near-impossible to understand. This is mostly due to faults within the system and our lecturers. I've recently thought that university art lecturers maintain a complicated rhetoric simply to make themselves feel like they have credibility. It certainly seemed to be a lot more about ego than understanding. Just a cynical thought. It certainly seemed true for our art history lecturers (and some of the more conceptually-minded students). 

Anyway - I've recently rediscovered manifestos to be something much more relevant and inspiring, to everyone, not just a select/elite group. A few of the more popular manifestos have been circulating around on blogs and other social networking sites for a while now. I may as well continue their cross-pollination here.

This is perhaps the most well-known, the Holstee Manifesto.

I first saw the lululemon manifesto at yoga studio, live and breathe yoga.
It is bursting with relevant advice to inspire and uplift.

I'll add more manifestos when I find them (I've seen many online lately and need to rediscover the sites they were on).
