Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
Sharing stories, listening, while allowing others to express how they see things is a powerfully connective tool we so often forget.

Now here is a very powerful article about how a story, once it leaves our lips, can be co-opted, changed, and used to divide -- all counter to the original message of the story. Truly there are significant ethics involved in story sharing -- especially for nonprofits, and with for-profit businesses also. Many social issues are emotionally charged. That's the case here where the topic is abortion. Same with guns, drugs, violence, hunger, etc. Look beyond the abortion topic here and really hear the message about story sharing ethics. When nonprofits share the stories of those they serve -- or highlight a social problem -- ethics become critically important. When businesses share employee or customer stories and do not pay attention to the ethics of story sharing, they are in for a backlash.

That is so true Monica! I love playing with listening activities so I can be more aware of my surroundings, and more aware of what people are really trying to tell me. And of course marketing without listening is just broadcasting, which won't take you very far!

Yew's views focus to much on a top "elected or appointed” down view of how things should work. These days that model seems far too corruptible by money whether they call it communism or democracy. I see a world of people wanting to have more chances to shape their own destinies and make their own choices plus opportunities to make that happen. His old world, school model is based on keeping many under the thumb of a few. I think happiness will be found in a more open, participative interaction on the part of the masses around they world.Chinawas and is too willing to let a few be happy by using the life labor of far too many to make those few happy. This is a new connected world that wants to be more connected and not ruled over as much as in the old days. Time to move on and Yew needs to meet with those that have a new vision and understand the strengths of a connected world to refresh his old vision. Kissinger and the others are yesterday’s news and we are living the results of their chance to make a difference. There were some good things and some bad outcomes as well. But it’s time to move on and it would be nice to do that without the older generation having to die off for the young visionaries move forward to make their dreams for the future a reality..
