Been A While !!!

Hey everyone, been a bit busy with work. Interesting times are upon us. I have a good feeling amidst all the doom and gloom. I think this year will be an year of cleansing ourselves of various bad habits like greed and wastage. Why are we in this state now. Its because or the hunger each corporate executive has for year on year growth. Sadly, everything has a way of evening out in the end. What goes up must surely come down. We will have to pay for our greediness and that is what is happening.

I hope we will see a much better world after this where people will learn from their mistakes. Examples:

1. We build houses which are far too big for our families and for what?
2. We drive cars and SUV's that are far too big.
3. We waste so much food while some people in the world go hungry.
4. We spend so much on unncessary gadgets while some people can't afford to buy their kids a pen or pencil.
5. We use up so much energy for pointless activities.

How can we think differently now?

1. Go local - buy products of your country. Give money to the small or medium entrepreneur.
2. Use less energy - walk !! Its free !!
3. Eat nutritious home grown food or food from your locality.
4. Buy a smaller car and use it sparingly.

Remember, having a big investment account for your kids will not matter if they don't have a world to live in. So I will end up with the famous words of Will Smith I think who said - "People spend money they don't have, to buy things that they don't need to impress people they don't like." That sums up 80% of the things we do.

Take care and happy new year !!
