Some of the most basic things regarding change is being able to influence small groups of like minded people towards a cause. these small groups can multiply the efforts towards change provided that the tribal leader steps up to the role and drives the vision.

This video perhaps tells nothing new, but today's society and technology makes the possibility of tribal changes become a lot more effective.

source site - TG Daily - Bill Gates' new mission: Saving lives

When you already have transformed the way the world works, what do you do with the second half of your life? Ask Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, the insanely rich guy we so often loved to hate, but who is being credited with bringing computing to the mainstream. Today, Gates released the first annual letter describing his new role at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. What we read is a passionate introduction to the challenges and goals of his charity. And I remember the old saying: There are those who say they are saving lives, and those who actually do.

this is pretty inspirational. yes, i do not like bill gates the microsoft man. but bill gates the man, is a different matter altogether. even at microsoft he was singularly focused on changing the way we work. i believe that this singular focus will allow him to achieve good things with his foundation. his work at the foundation is described on his 2009 annual letter.

this is one of the best ways to see wealth being shared across the world.

It has been a long while since I updated my blog. Things have been extreme for me for some time now. Changes at work, new initiatives with my-kart, business planning etc.

This Merdeka Day break is good. Just need to free myself from all the work and priorities and reflect for a short while. No doubt i shall be soon doing a bit of work... but let me for a short while sip some virtual tea with you.

I am going through and responsible for putting through some changes at work. This is a huge challenge for me, as change is one thing that many people fear the most. It is often so easy to do the same things we do for the longest time we can remember. But every once in a while things start to change and sometimes we tend not to be ready for it.
