It's funny how by focusing on what you should be focusing on, that you tend to be able to succeed. 

 

We still need to focus on reducing the attention towards profits and financial gain and shifting it to well being, health, survival and well being (at least, from a governing perspective).  However, this is a positive development in the business community and it should be fostered by investors and financiers.

 

The human world is going to have to take a much more mature and holistic view of itself, if it is going to be able to survive, let alone, be able to truly thrive.  That's just the way it's going to be.  And, I can't believe that there are so many conservatives and ideologues out there who will kill themselves off for the sake of not changing or the sake of their unworkable ideas and principles.

 

Think about it.
