The Green Dilemma
A Purist Mentality to Green
We need to develop a purist mentality to the environment.
That’s because if everyone wants to have a piece of the pie (the environment) then eventually there will be no pie left! At least not any that we can enjoy or future generations can enjoy.
Staircase to Success
Ever thought about what would be a good analogy for the progression you want to make in your life or career? How about envisioning the progression like climbing the staircase of a multi-storey building…without using the elevators? In this context an elevator would represent leverage given to you by someone else as an advantage, opportunity or benefit. Without that leverage, you must climb the stairs with your own energy, motivation, determination and persistence.
Staircases of Life
One way to look at our lives is like climbing the staircase of a multi-storey building without using the elevators. No matter where you are on the stairs, if you have not reached the top, there is always one more tread to climb. And, unless you’ve reached the roof, there is always one more level to go. The effort you used to get to the present tread won’t help you to get to the next, or the next, and so on. Each time you must summon up new motivation, determination and strength to get from one tread to the other and from one level to the next.

An Ever-changing World

Your True Colour…It’s not Green
It’s time, you will agree, that manufacturers stop playing the “I’m green” game and begin evaluating their processes in life-cycle terms, i.e. from raw materials through to the final delivery to the customer; to how the customer uses the product; disposes of the waste; and finally how it is typically collected and disposed of. The process […]
Fulfillment
Most of us search for one or more things that we hope will make our lives complete and rewarding—fulfillment. We associate fulfillment with many things, some being material pursuits. We expend our days searching for these things to make our lives worthwhile. However, as John Lemon famously coined: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans“. […]
