What is it that takes a person to where no one has ever been?
What is it that pushes the human spirit to pursue his goals with much tenacity & enthusiasm?
What is it that allows a person to preserve, despite relentless failures?
What is it that inspires a person to do the extraordinary?
It is not far from being the Spirit of Enterprise… A spirit that bring out the best of a person’s wealth of ideas and initiatives; undoubtedly this Century has seen amazing development in science & technology-possibly more than in the previous total history of mankind. My 13-year-old-friend is far more at home with computers than I will ever be- and every year, maybe every day perhaps- there are new ideas and massive progress in technology. It is without doubt that young people are the REAL Leaders of the emerging Information Society. Let wait and see how things shape up at the forthcoming UN’s World Summit on the Information Society.
But human beings have not changed to the same extent. There is still as much greed, anger and religious bigotry as there ever was. How can we humans pioneer in space and even beyond time, and yet seem unable to get closer to world peace?
Together with a respect for the dignity of human person, I believe we can redirect the whooping estimated sum of $ 36 million spent on weapons worldwide every hour on positive impacting development projects & initiatives…It is high time we all redirect the spirit of enterprise within us in effecting positive change. No cause for war unless it is a JUST one.
