Dear China

Dear China from an ordinary Kiwi.

New Zealand has enjoyed over 100 years of history with the Chinese people. I applaud the new trade agreement.
The world focus on the new trade agreement and the Olympics as the torch travels the world battling through waves of protest and conflict as a democratic right to protest to highlight an issue.
A country may well want independence it is a sad fact that violence spills over hurting people on all sides of the argument instead of peaceful change lead by conscious leadership and negotiation.
As an ordinary Kiwi I ponder how the world seems to forget the ordinary people who built, shaped, wonderful artistic skills to present to the world an Olympic venue of sports collaboration bringing together all race colour and creed.
I ponder the fact that China took a courageous step to open to the modern world and the changes she needs to make are so great most nations would buckle under the weight of responsibility.
Taking self responsibility, by conscious leadership, to change is to be admired.
Human rights, in the work place, in the community, world- wide come in many sized packages. To be succinct in essence how true the saying is “he who has not sinned cast the first stone.” Ask the question and define Human rights.
Multi-Nation a l companies or any company in China should reach out across the cultural differences with respect ask the question how can we assist to improve the work base and quality of the workers that benefit s China and all other trading partners through-out the world.
Investment deserves profit; investment also means to those who are the productive equation of that profit. A man needs to be able to afford his food look after the family and time to look forward to a secure future. Change should not be feared but embraced.
I applaud China for the giant step forward for their people and the gift of opportunity they give to the world. History is littered with nations pain of change, I hope the world steps back for a moment and think of the pain the Chinese people live in their daily life and ask instead of yelling criticism but offer how can we ease this pain with respect . Dignity and accept the differences in the culture.

The naked Human - being - Human rights.

The Naked Human- Being- Human Rights.

Climate change, so is the climate of man-kind across all spectrums’ of political race colour and creed.
Conscious leadership is not just at the grass roots yet required globally in all nations. Every individual taking self –responsibility taking up the reins of conscious leadership is a contribution to the community and the nation. Today we live in a global community desiring autonomy and civil rights.
Freedom. Freedom of speech, free-will, free thoughts, freedom of the press. The four freedoms, defining human rights and civil rights is age old ancient. The principles of application are broader today.
What of the human rights and civil rights by financial rape, city rape, political rape, landscape rape that sees the growth of tent cities.

La criallerie ordinaire fait qu’ons’y accoutume, et que chacun la me’ prise. Fr – “A clamorous abuse, too often repeated, becomes as familiar to the ear as to lose its’ effect. “ If you scold your servant inordinately for not rinsing a glass, he will scarcely feel rebuke, when you charge him with robbery”.

Is there any man free…….. Who has the power of passing his life in what manner he pleases?.. It is the essence of freedom that each man shall do whatever he likes without injury to others.

Pathway to Concious Leadership

I want to buy a car but I do not want to train as a mechanic to achieve the goal.
Speaking in the community hall or the church on the hill to a congregation on Sunday easily found on the local map.
Internet technology the question is how does one navigate to a clear pathway to have ones message heard or read.
Conscious leadership is as important on Internet as standing in the community hall or church. Information is the experience of what one reads and sees. The ordinary person surfing the Internet wave how does one find the ‘local community hall’ ‘church’ or common community?
The old saying ‘the world is your oyster’ mankind has opened the oyster shell and there sits the pearl called technology.
