“On Gifts” Research Report – G2 Romania

Pentru ca suntem in prag de Sarbatori, pentru ca nu stim niciodata destul despre felul in care primim si daruim cadouri, pentru ca cercetarile exploratorii ne incarca cu cea mai multa inspiratie:

Confirmat: Red Hot Chili Peppers la Bucuresti, 31 August 2012!

1000+ Ways of Global Change powered by AIESEC Romania

My dear friends from AIESEC Romania asked for my support on their “1000+ Ways of Global Change” campaign.

As emotional as I was at first glance (when I realized it’s not a simple question at all), as confident I am now that there really is a way.

So.. How would I change the world?

It’s true that the world isn’t in very good shape right now. The air is polluted, the ground has been emptied, the water is degrading and most people are far from a happy state of mind. Lately the “crisis” label has been used only on financial matters. Things don’t look good at all.

I know there are lots of us with lots of answers. And every single one thinks their answer is right. Or at least fair. Or decent. Or probable. Worthy to be shared. I’ll just join this club.

First thoughts: new sources of energy, biodegradable products, more regulation, more jobs, more fun.

The problem is, none of these solutions address the fundamental issue. And they involve inner change only as a side effect.

My answer: We don’t need to do anything about it.

Yes, that’s exactly what I suggest.

The answer isn’t in better solutions, fixes and surogates. The answer is… we need to do less.

It may seem like there’s so much we need to do, to make things right. And that’s the problem. We don’t need to do more. We don’t need to make more of an effort. We need to do less.

How?

• Driving less
• Wanting les
• Talking less
• Buying less
  
• Rushing less

Just “Smile, breathe and go slowly” for a change. (Zen monk, Thich Nhat Hanh)

I’m really expecting opinions on this matter from Traiu, Simina, Oitza, Transp and anyone else who’s wheels still turn in their head.
