<description><![CDATA[It is great to have the most up-to-date technology but we must not let ourselves be seduced by it and let it turn into an addiction that will bleed away our future or, more accurately put, our children's future. It is time to press the pause button on upgrades and reflect on the destructive side of our consumption behavior and our addictions.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Great leaders lead the way by setting goals and by being able to inspire the nation into imagining the future and investing in that future. America's leaders cannot afford to be short-sighted, focusing only on the near term. America's leaders must dare to dream again. They must be bold enough to imagine what future looks like and they must be able to explain the investment and sacrifice needed for the nation to arrive at that future.]]></description>

<title>The Best Thing A Teacher Ever Taught Me</title>

<description><![CDATA[It is unfortunate that teaching and class sizes will be impacted once the Federal and State budget cuts come into effect. We can all try to pass the buck and push the cuts onto someone or somewhere else but there is no denying that we can't have what we can't afford. My hope is that the cuts will help spur us towards more intelligent ways of teaching.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are living in a fast changing world and systems and processes that worked well in the past may not be sufficiently adept in meeting the needs of today. Lengthy budget battles year after year distracts us from looking at what we need to be doing to positively influence America's economic future and its role in a freer, more global and more democratic world.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With a sustained recovery still uncertain and debt loads at unprecedented levels, it is not surprising that lawmakers, governors and mayors are clamoring to reduce spending in government programs at every level, especially those categorized as 'discretionary'. There is no denying it, the prize is bigger than just a balanced budget. Whatever we do and however we do it, we must be extremely careful that it does not turn into a race to the bottom where the cuts will affect our country's competitiveness and future.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Profits that come from the destruction of innocent lives is Blood Money - not much different from the thirteen pieces of silver that bought the betrayal of Jesus. Media's responsibility in their reporting and Gun Control laws need to be reviewed in the light of the Tuscon, Arizon shooting on Jan 8, 2011.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We can't really silence the few individuals who are vocal and whose incantations are welcomed by the media. We can only seek to expose their falsehood and lies by speaking out (or writing) against them, arguing our case with facts and good logic. Our hope is that you will not listen to the few fanatics and false prophets who would exploit the sensitivities of others for their own glorification. Don't give credence to them or use the mindless words of the few crazies against all Americans. Our appeal to you is to tune them out, just as you would tune out those among you who seek only to provoke and to incite others to no good.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A friend recently forwarded me a short story that has probably made its way around the Internet a few times but is nevertheless refreshingly poignant each time I get to read it. It goes like this: A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While searching for a new topic for my blog, one thought that struck me over the Independence Day weekend is that this historic event that we celebrate each year is all about Choices. The founding fathers of this great nation chose to be free from the oppression of the colonial masters and to be able to set off on the pursuit of equality, life, liberty and happiness. Generations later, those pursuits continue and the ideals have not faded. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the most inspirational moments in my career happened when I was just a young accountant, starting off on a professional journey that lasted many years and eventually landed me in the United States. I was thrilled to have been invited to the company's global seminar, held that year in Vittel, France, and I was totally wowed by the events and speeches but the special moment happened rather unexpectedly one afternoon when the founder and chairman and I were passing each other in a busy hallway.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just because there are no laws about certain acts, it should not be interpreted to be a free-for-all, do as you please, wild-wild-west playground where the strong and the quick are allowed to prey on the less nimble and the weak. Laws, rules and regulations cannot be (and we should not expect it to be) so comprehensive that it fully protects against every possible scam or scheme concocted by some clever guy who knows the rules and the loopholes.]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 12 Apr 2010 10:51:24 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The best CEOs in the world - whether they run multinational corporations or small, growing businesses - are those who possess, among other traits, the ability to understand what the 'worst case scenarios' could be for their businesses and they keep a keen eye over those risks and exposures. Like a hawk watching over its prey, they'll swoop in with lightning speed and remove the threat preemptively.]]></description>

<pubDate>Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:04:52 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[We need to continue the debate about what healthcare should or should not be but not let it hold us back from enacting what should be the first of all the necessary reforms. As we gain experience from the present reforms, we need to refine those provisions that prove to be less than satisfactory. Nothing will be perfect from the get-go and we need to be mature enough to keep working at it and make it better.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As good as tax credits and new hiring incentives sound, they won't immediately create or bring back jobs. Corporations and businesses will not hire unless there is a demand for their products and services. Tax credits are only good if they make a profit - if there is no profit, they won't be paying taxes in the first place. As concerned citizens, what can we do that will help turnaround the economy and will do so with an immediacy that the lawmakers can't?]]></description>

<title>Reforming Government</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:50:46 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[It does not surprise me that so much of the negative sentiments over health care reform stems from a general sense of distrust in "Government".  The corruption we see reported in almost every State where elected officials abuse the position of trust and power GIVEN to them by their constituents feeds into that distrust and, over time, it has eroded our confidence that anything labeled as "Government" can be of any value or do any good.  As the title of a Tyler Perry movie goes, "I can do bad all by myself" - we certainly don't need to elect or pay anyone to abuse us.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some of us laughed at the 'organic' movement but it has taken root and become a settled part of our social consciousness.  We can make the 'Go American' movement work too.  It will take a conscious effort by every American concerned about his/her future or that of the next generation.  Sitting by idly or ignorantly and doing nothing is clearly not a solution.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The US needs to stimulate consumption and giving away money, whether directly or via tax breaks, is not going to do the trick in the current environment.  A more cautious population will simply stash the money away in fear of a deeper and longer recession.  Time to focus on ideas and actions that will pull us out of this hole.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Despite the very vocal objections, cities have successfully banned smoking in public places, pubs and restaurants, realizing that an unhealthy public is a drain on the cities' resources.

<description><![CDATA[In every age, culture and religion, people have a tendency to follow the crowd in the hope that somewhere at the front of the line is a leader who knows what he/she is doing.  When I was a lot younger, my older brother would suggest that we try walking along a busy avenue while pointing our fingers up at the sky or the side of a building as a prank. He was convinced that in no time at all we will have a crowd of on-lookers who stop to stare at the same spot we are ...]]></description>
