Trade fairs. Mixed feelings.
The seminars are quiet inspiring . I always learn something even if it is not directly related to the theme of the seminar.
The " market place " or stands are all the same. Bowls of sweeties , freebees,stocked up on ball point pens
, masses of literature and all your have to do is look a bit lost and someone will approach you and try to sell you something.
I'm so not a part of this world. But that's O.K. This helps me get clear about my values and what I want in life. Success for me is not about selling more or producing more or making piles of money. Success for me is about having peace of mind and good self-esteem. It's about feeling happy , having good friends and having time for myself - alone time.
Success for me is about a nice balance of energy exchange - energy in and energy out.Enough money come it to pay bills.Success is about quality of life and being happy with " what is ".
I am appalled by the way companies " milk" their employees for what they are worth. 25- 40 year intelligent capable career minded poeple think nothing of devoting their best years and potential to a company in exchange for big money.
But when they are all used up and spent , when they have nothing more to give they end up on the scrap heap. Human beings, unlike machines cannot be recycled either, can they ?
There seems to be a huge emphasis on PRODUCTS and very little on SERVICES. Once again the TANGIBLE instead of the INTANGIBLE.
It's so good to be home. Candles lit. Avocado and prawn starter, Pasta, Italian red .. and some really dark chocolate for dessert.
There's a film on in a few minutes .................
see ya
