	Understanding the lessons your life is teaching you. John Stephen Veitch Network Ambassador - Thought Leader
28 January, 2009 Dear Sir or Madam I'm an advocate for network building, a business educator and trainer. At a time when the world faces severe interrelated challenges, environmental, economic, cultural and political, the Internet offers us a possible excape route. If you've taken the time to read my thoughts about the need for humanity to find new ways to imagine progress and to organise ourselves, perhaps you share my concerns. First we need to understand the problem. We begin by talking to each other. I believe that these three ideas are fundamental to exploring your business and personal future. Find other people who share your interests and values. Communicate with these people. Engage in that discussion. Meeting new people enlarges your understanding and expertise. It concerns me greatly that this opportunity is not understood. The printing press wasn't well used for about 200 years because people couldn't read. Today we have a similar problem on the Internet. Internet Literacy is limited to a tiny minority of people. Opportunity to learn and to innovate and to create new business is being lost. We are trying to be successful in business by doing things we were taught to do, that ensure our failure. We continue to support political ideals that have long been outdated. The obesity problem in modern communities models our economic problem exactly. We know nutrition and exercise are essential to good health. We eat but we eat too much of the wrong sort of food. We exercise too little. Most don't even engage in active games or dancing. We KNOW this is killing us, but we can't find a way to CHANGE ourselves. We need to understand that ALL of US must live in a global world, without destroying the planet and without endless war over scarce resources. Any economic system dependant on "growth" cannot prevail, we need to create and economy with a different primary objective. Our heads are of necessity "stuck in the past" and that's a problem each of us has to re-think. We know the best people and the best ideas are needed. - We are those people. We need to MAKE a new sustainable economy. It can't be purchased at any price. Many people carry part of the solution with them. You are one of them. Do you want to ask a question?

Dear Sir or Madam

I'm an advocate for network building, a business educator and trainer. At a time when the world faces severe interrelated challenges, environmental, economic, cultural and political, the Internet offers us a possible excape route. If you've taken the time to read my thoughts about the need for humanity to find new ways to imagine progress and to organise ourselves, perhaps you share my concerns. First we need to understand the problem. We begin by talking to each other.

I believe that these three ideas are fundamental to exploring your business and personal future.

Find other people who share your interests and values.
Communicate with these people. Engage in that discussion.
Meeting new people enlarges your understanding and expertise.

It concerns me greatly that this opportunity is not understood.

The printing press wasn't well used for about 200 years because people couldn't read. Today we have a similar problem on the Internet. Internet Literacy is limited to a tiny minority of people. Opportunity to learn and to innovate and to create new business is being lost.

We are trying to be successful in business by doing things we were taught to do, that ensure our failure. We continue to support political ideals that have long been outdated. The obesity problem in modern communities models our economic problem exactly.

We know nutrition and exercise are essential to good health.
We eat but we eat too much of the wrong sort of food.
