Who needs this

I heard a great quote that really made me think in a profound way. This statement was made by a Buddhist monk at the Bali summit on global warming in 2007. He said, "The challenge is to redesign the world: To design a more authentic, genuine and elegant world. Who needs this wasteful, stressful, congested, exploitative world where half humanity goes to bed hungry and the other half suffers from obesity. We can do better than this." His name is Samdhong Rinpoche. -W3.0

America's dreams

America has created great dreams: Man on the moon, civil rights, women’s rights, etc. Why can't we dream of a world free of fossil fuels and make it happen like all the other dreams. Let’s dream a country and world that is sustainable, non-toxic and where individual greatness is honored and respected. How’s that for a dream? Dream on, it’s all a story anyway, let’s create one that works. It is World 3.0

Fact or fiction

I always wonder what is more powerful, fact or fiction? or non-fiction versus fiction? Which one affects our lives the most. I have arrived at the conclusion that the effect is the same because most facts are fiction and most fiction is factual.

Burn down the paradigm

The real weapon to burn the current paradigm is creativity, yes creative destruction is the game. Replication, imitation and the sameness will never work. It is creative trashing of the old models, create, create, create-yes. World 3.0

Creativity is the power play of the future

Innovation and creativity are in the same league with transparency as the global killer applications. So we all need to reconnect with the wild, wacky, powerful, playful, non-heard, unique and authentic inner child to be able to succeed in the future. Operating from the stale imitator part of us will not make it. It is time to give ourselves permission to break through the old personal paradigm of compromise and let the child play -- create, reinvent and transform.
