Just what do you believe

Believing things is becoming harder and harder these days. There are so many variations on everything. Some examples for you;

The Winston Peters/Owen Glenn saga - just who is telling the truth.

This morning I heard on the radio that Kelly the last surviving dolphin at Marineland died aged 38 years old. she lived about 20-25 years longer than a dolphin in the wild. Her carers told me years ago she was a happy interactive dolphin who played and enjoyed the company of her carers. By all accounts Kelly was a happy dolphin. She lived long because she had good quality food with no parasites. Dolphins generally die from the inside out due to parasites. The Jonah organisation would have us believe Kelly did not have a quality life because she was not in the wild. Who do we believe the Marineland carers for Kelly or the Jonah crew.

The Emission Trading Scheme was passed into law because the current government is hell bent on us being the world leaders in saving the environment. Just who do you believe though, the scientist that say we are not in an environmental melt down or the ones who say we are. I heard some vegetarian woman on TV the other night telling me that if I don't eat meat I am protecting the environment from gas emissions, just what does she do with her farts? I also heard on national radio an American Astro-Physics genius tell us that Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are also suffering global warming and they are cowless, carless, peopless oh the dilemma - to believe or not believe.

Even the Pope has put his foot in it - He has come up with a few new rules for the catholics amongst you and one of them is "you shall not covet overt wealth(or something to that effect). Yet the Catholic church is one of the wealthiest businesses in the world and one of the biggest land owners on the globe - 7th biggest I think. So does he really expect us to believe that coveting overt wealth is a bad thing.

Believing ain't what it used to be - it is almost a dieing art. There are however those true believers who don't actually believe in anything.

How about the people in your business? Do they believe in your services and products? Do they believe in themselves and value the contribution they are making. Do you believe in your people? Do they know you believe in them? Something to think about eh?

Must away now and do some early Santa shopping.... hmmmmm????
