World Statistics

I was searching for the stats for what the world's oil consumption is compared to what the world is capable of producing when I came across this website: www.worldometers.info. You will find the meters clicking along show how much or how little of any one of the categories is available in the world. There are certainly some statistics there that are cause for reflection.

Today alone there were more than 350,000 births (it is only 10pm EST) with more than 152,000 deaths. And 40,000 individuals have died due to cancer this year - it is only January 2nd. You might want to consider the energy, water and environment stats. Just some interesting tidbits to think about.

A Vision for 2012

I just finished reading a book titled "A Vision for 2012: Planning for Extraordinary Change" by John L. Petersen. This is after completing my masters degree in leadership. So all of the things he discusses about change: the process for change, the fact that major changes needs to take place, the fact that deep seated events are slowly but certainly occurring that will cause us to need change (i.e: medical advances, global environment, etc.), are things that we have discussed in not so great detail in many of my classes during my graduate program. I am wholeheartedly on board with the notion that change is underfoot and that we, as individuals, as communities, as corporations, as the world, need to be prepared for widespread change. These areas where change are needed are some of the things that I want to explore. Be open and inviting to all ideas/concepts. If we are not open, how will be able to change and look forward to change?
