Great Things!

 May 19, 2020 edition of the Deseret News had a great message from Dr. Yunus:

Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus: A post-pandemic world should deliver a new future for capitalism


"The coronavirus suddenly changed the context and calculus of the world. It has opened up audacious possibilities that never existed before. Suddenly we are at the tabula rasa — the blank slate. There has been so much destruction that we must rebuild. We can go any direction we want. What unbelievable freedom of choice.

Before we truly restart the economy, we must decide on what kind of economy we want. First and foremost, we have to recognize that we are the economy and “the economy” is a means. It facilitates us to reach the goals set by us. We should not forget for a moment that it is a system or tool made by us. It should not behave like a death trap. We must keep on designing and redesigning it until we arrive at the highest collective flourishing, resilience and happiness."

We ARE the economy!

It is not outside us, run by "them".

It is us.  Every day we participate in the economy.  

It is UP TO US, how we we want the economy to be.

Do you want to paricipate in the economy (every time you buy gas or a burger) and then deny that you have POWER to change it, with others?

Dr. Yunus then says:

"If at any point we feel that the economy is not taking us where we want to go, we should understand that there is something wrong with the software we are currently using, and we need to rewrite the code. 

All we have to do is to fix it. If we want to create a world of zero net carbon emission, we build the right metaphorical hardware and software to achieve it. If we want a world of zero unemployment, we do the same. If we want a world of shared prosperity and less astronomical concentration of wealth, we do the same. The power is in us. When human beings set their mind to get something done, they do it. Little is impossible."

We rewrite the code.

You and I are all SOFTWARE ENGINEERS.  We can CHANGE the software of the US and world economy.  (This is true--Every day, our attitudes and actions change the economy).

We change the journey of our economy.

Our economy in South Dakota and the US and the world changes because WE are in the drivers seat.

We can change the economy.  We can ZERO OUT pollution and climate change, we can bring our unemployment rate to TRIPLE ZERO (0.00).  We can bring poverty to zero and prosperity for everyone UP.  Why?  Because we can fix it.

Don't wait for the US government to change it.  Don't wait for South Dakota government to change it.  (If I am elected as Senator, I will do everything I can to reduce taxes, government waste and increase business and employment for everyone).  Waiting never solves.

What solves the problems is.....You.

You rewrite the software code.  You re-do the hardware.

Radio and the airplane and the internet were impossible.

People made them possible.

You are the person who can make GREAT and GOOD things possible, and you and humanity will benefit for YOU daring to do it!

Wisdom to prosper by

In this review of Building Social Business by Muhammad Yunus, they summarize his book with 2 succinct paragraphs: "In recent years Dr. Yunus has moved beyond just lending to the poor; his new  goal is to eliminate poverty entirely , and his method is to spread the practice of social business, a self-sustaining, “zero-loss, zero-dividend” business model that applies not only to microfinance but to any good or service provided to the poor to ensure communities become self-sufficient.  Building Social Business includes is the  step-by-step guideline for entrepreneurs to create their own social businesses , as well as its report on two more years of Grameen Bank’s joint venture social businesses."  https://ourgoodbrands.com/building-social-business/ The idea is huge:  eliminate poverty by creating a social business. It is a new kind of wisdom.   Instead of assuming that when you or I get rich, others get poor(zero sum thinking);  instead think t...

How Can Live Your Dream Every Day

Here are some great ideas from Dr. Yunus, 2006 Nobel Prize Winner.  He encourages us all to think in the best possible terms:   “Think and Act Like Job Creators” "Another area that Yunus is passionate about is creating a world without unemployment. He believes that we can create that world by encouraging the youth to think and act like job creators. He worries that today’s youth is only focused on seeking salaried jobs, rather than being able to think from an entrepreneurial perspective. This is especially a problem since the number of salaried jobs available has not kept pace with the demand in regions such as Bangladesh." “ A job is an old-fashioned idea from the twentieth century,” states Yunus. He believes that the popular idea of jobs did not exist until after the industrial revolution (with the arrival of current education system). To encourage the second generation of Grameen Bank loan-seekers to be entrepreneurial, he tells them, “How did your mother manage to create...
