Profile Information
- What achievements have you made in helping others?
- Create a lasting legacy of positive momentum to develop changes in social responsibility. To take what I have learned to help and teach others. To have an open mind and explore all that life has to offer.
My intentions are to change my life and find ways to change the world in which I live. To discover how to use developed talents and energy to advance deeply meaningful changes -- to be defiant when applicable and refuse to accept the status quo. For one cannot simply sit still in the face of injustice, suffering or wastefulness. To become an innovator and advance new models to solve social and economic problems -- and to make headway against the odds. Full of hope, energy, and pragmatic solutions. Seek to understand the fast growing field of "social entrepreneurship" and discover opportunities to enrich the life of others. Successfully demonstrate that one person with initiative and the courage to try out a new idea, along with a determination to seek out and connect with other changemakers, can advance changes that improve lives and unleash the potential of others.
- What do you consider to be important traits in helping others?
- Open mind, strength, energy, harmony, determination and compassion.
- What do you consider to be today's greatest issue that is in need of attention?
- Mankind's inability to step-back and absorb the moment. For if "they" did, they might open their eyes to see what lies before them in regard to opportunity, harmony, beauty, grace, culture and blessings. There is too much fear (either imagined or real) that holds humanity back.
- Would you like to contribute a possible solution to this issue? If yes, please explain.
- Education on the laws of cause and effect and the laws of attraction.
- Tell us about yourself...
- Senior Analyst for large corporation, dealings within the global operating framework. Writer, Business owner and father of three fantastic kids!!!
My skill-sets - analysis in commodities and businesses. If you have or know of a non-profit organization that needs help in research, lean principles, quality management, logistics or in need of connections on a regional, international or global scale, "please" feel free to contact me for advice or direction.

The POWER of ONE
One song can spark a moment
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest
One bird can herald spring
One smile begins a friendship
One handclasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation

Altruism
Altruism can be found throughout religious beliefs:
Christian - “you shall love your neighbor as yourself”
Muslim - “none of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself”
Buddhism - “seeking for others the happiness one desires for oneself.”
Altruism can also be seen as selfish; motivations… Continue

Building Our Ship
"It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." – Anne Frank (age 15).

Your friendship is appreciated. If I may be of service to you, let me know.
If at any time you would like to add a forum at my site, let me know and I'll set up a dedicated discussion group for you. I've never set up a webpage before last week, so it's on the job training. Eventually I'll get a handle on it, and do some embellishing. :-)
Peace
