Social Hallucinations

Real Leaders Are Rare

Leaders are hard to find. Many wind up director titles on their business cards, but there is no action...just a title. Mike Bowden put it really good:

"Too many times business owners seem to be satisfied spending their careers as managers rather than leaders. When you see real leadership in action, you're left in awe. Real leaders are active, engaged and motivating. They create an atmosphere that's electric - both fun and productive."

Knives, Violence and Society Failure

Last Saturday 19 year old boy was stabbed to death because he didn't want to give his hat to the strangers. They were so desperate for some stupid hat that they killed the boy. Every death is tragic but death caused by no particular reason is so painful not only for relatives and friends of the victim but the whole society. This death was caused by savages who don't respect human life, who can't tell right from wrong. This is the failure of society. This is the failure of human kind. Tragic. Family and friends look desperately for answers. Why? He was just on his way home. The way that took his life. There is another tragedy happening alongside. Politicians, police outrun one another in do's and dont's. Increased surveilance, total knives ban, people start Facebook groups: people who go with knives are idiots. I can echo of political voices: more control, control. But I haven't hear anyone to stop and in the eyes of escalating pointless voilence ( not that any violence has a point but you know what I mean) ask: what's going on with our society? Who failed? We need to find and understand causes of such behavior in order to find solutions. Control and bans can help but not solve the problem. More cameras on the streets will not teach criminals to respect human life. This is just touching the surface. They ease our bad conscious until another teenager will be killed for something as insignificant as hat...Wake up, something rotten is happening in the kingdom of Denmark.

Recycled Advertising

It isn't easy being green, especially in times where Green is the new black cocktail dress and it is trendy to talk about changing world in order to save environment (and then leaving the party with all the lights on  in a huge 4 WD). But it is not about what you say, it is about what you do.
EDF Energy launched a very interesting TV ad that brings Green into advertising world - and here are lots of energy and CO2 to save. The ad created by Euro RSCG uses "recycled" film clips. Good idea.

Have a nice Sunday and stay Green :-)

Btw winter has arrived to this part of the world. Sun was replaced by greyness, there is not too much green to look at.

Negativity Refuse Bag

I believe we all need it from time to time. Just take a deep breath and forget about the mean people and bad experiences we met on our way. You can use this bag :-)
