I

got

this

strange

idea

in

my

eight

grade:torunforthepresidentof

the

student

Union.Itisnotasurprisingdecisionformostoutgoing,popularpeople.ButIwasneither.InfactItendedtodaydream,readbooksthatwerenotontherequiredlist,andsitatthefarcornerofthecafeteriawiththeonlytwofriendsIhad,DeniseandJanice.However,

Claire,

my

enemy,

motivated

me

to

sign

up

to

run

against

her.

Denise

decided

we

should

form

a

group

of

advisors

to

get

me

elected.

We

met

every

day,

right

after

school,reviewing

every

student.

We

tried

to

figure

out

why

our

schoolmates

might

want

to

vote,

in

their

own

interests

for

me

or(more

likely)

against

Claire.

We

created

cascades,

a

term

we

learned

from

Denise’s

sister.

In

other

words,

we

looked

for

students

who

were

most

likely

to

influence

a

group

of

other

students.

Those

are

the

people

that

one

of

us

approached

first.

My

narrow

victorywas

a

surprise

to

many

including,

frankly,the

three

of

us.

That’s

how

I

got

my

first

taste

of

the

power

of

the

so-called

Collective(集体的）Intelligence

and

it

turned

out

to

be

the

best

method

of

succeeding

in

various

work.

When

a

group

commits

to

supporting

each

other

by

meeting

regularly

and

obeying

the

negotiatedrules,remarkable

things

happen.We

tend

to

bring

day

I’d

like

to

buy

an

electric

car.They’re

much

cleaner

than

petrol

cars.But

I’m

not

sure

if

the

buy

them.

the

most

powerful

type

of

engine.Unfortunately

they’re

much

more

expensive

thanpetrol

cars.But

makes

me

anxious

is

cheaper,more
