This I Believe #6

We do need to spend time learning and planning (from events like the tsunami) or we will condemn ourselves to repeat the past.

We also need to be mindful that little events can be learning experiences, not just the big ones.Boston's Coconut Grove Fire did not prevent Rhode Island's The Station Fire, nor did these prevent the latest nightclub fire in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I believe we need to consider ourselves as inhabitants of this world, first. What happens there can happen here. The globalization of the markets has inter-twined our economies and our lives such that we our neighborhood has now grown. Technology will continue to provide instant and realtime information bringing us closer together.

What has happened to your neighbor today?
