Businesses Need to 'Rehumanise'Written by Jesse S. Somer
Continued from page 1
The truth is, if we all stand together on an issue, human beings have been known to move mountains. Why don’t we speak out and get these companies who spend so many millions of dollars on commercials telling us how friendly and helpful they are to be accountable for their actions? They could take some of those same millions and put them into employing more human beings to act as communicators, as well as informed positions that solve problems quickly and easily. More jobs for community in general, and a more enjoyable life for all coming in contact with companies in question: this is a win/win situation people! Happier customers who are being respected as equals means people will tell each other of quality of business; of course this equates to more customers, which means more profit for all. The time has come to ‘rehumanise’ (cool word!) our social and business systems. Communication is always spouted as being key to a positive relationship between family, friends, and lovers. We now need to adopt this model for how organizations and institutions relate to wider community that actually created them with their investment, employment, and customer base. We all need to realize that we are all worthy and deserved of happy lives, lived via a construct of social systems that focuses on real human satisfaction.

50,000 bulbs, one at a time, by one woman two hands, two feet, very little brain. began in 1958. There it was: The Daffodil Principle. For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun-one bulb at a time-to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top. Still, just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed world. This unknown woman had forever changed world in which she lived. She had created something of indescribable magnificence, beauty, and inspiration. The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of greatest principles of celebration. That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time-often just one baby-step at a time-and learning to love doing, learning to use accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change world. "It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. "What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago and had worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years. Just think what I might have been able to achieve!" My daughter summed up message of day in her usual direct way. "Start tomorrow," she said. "It's so pointless to think of lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, 'How can I put this to use today?'" How many times have you put off your dream of a writing a book, painting a picture, learning a language, starting a business or something else that is your deepest desire, because it seemed daunting or unachievable? What excuse have you used to wait for another day? Do you tell yourself, I will start: When children are grown In spring In summer After college When you lose 10 lbs. When you gain 10 lbs. When you get married When you get a divorce When you have kids When you retire How much could you achieve if you start today by doing just one thing towards your dream? Like daffodil gardener, if you plant just one seed of your dream every day, you can create a lasting life quilt that leads to your destiny. There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt. And, dance like no one's watching. If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone special. I just did! This article has been taken from one of my newsletter.
