When the Wall Street Bell chimes nations shiver. The foundations of mankind shivering in the shadow of global change are the warnings for reflection. Reflection of production for import and export between trading nations.
“We train hard, but it seemed that every time we form up into teams we would be re-organized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by re-organizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while only producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.”
Global freedom starts at the local freedom. Before looking at the leaky tiles on the roof at the house next door would it not be wise to fix your leaky tiles first.The world shuffles paper like an old deck of cards, yet the man standing in all weathers at the revolving door collecting tips is that not the real cash and real business to take note of.
Perhaps the structural social fabric foundation need reviewing for the betterment of mankind’s future for those captains of industry have they forgotten that hunger never sleeps?

Swing of Life Compass
Social networking in the virtual world presents new questions of how does psychology and conscious leadership meet in a positive way considering the future potential of an increasing virtual world on this level. How does one view the quality of ‘friendship’ and the fine line of professionalism?
Philosophy ancient and new what part does it play in the potential of the growing virtual world and how it effects the world s communication skills. What is the cost to the human being in time, in the space of time and the monetary cost? Information shared and your image ever embedded in this world, how aware are you of the tools of disciplines required.
What change are you looking for, for what purpose, does it serve mankind in a positive way. Does it reward your effort as one is every week when paid to work in a company/business? How the world is changing across an electronic stream. A river cannot move the mountain but a drop of water can. Are you the river or the drop of water in your future?

Food Food Glorious Food
Food Food Glorious Food.
Conscious leadership, self responsibility expressed philosophically around the globe, the leaders of any given political calling, should they recognize many countries live on the edge of a Marie Antoinette society?
The principle players are politicians rich enriching the already rich that wear boots so big they need four pairs of socks to fill them as children play “empty belly” on the winter streets of life.
A hard working man rich is to be applauded, a hard working man in the field of industry should not be condemned and little rewarded that does not sustain him.
If a fat man at the table of life is gorging food and drops some crumbs on the floor and I crawl in and steal the crumbs which one of us is the thief?
Change is a battle that must be won, hunger is a wild beast, what part are you going to play to be a voice for mankind? If mankind is well and feed, so are you, if the hunger erodes your neighbor, how well are you really?

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.
