Just some pondering

Something to ponder about. Listened to Bill Gates on TED talk @ February 2009 http://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_unplugged.html

Does the market drive people to do the right things now of days?

Bill Gates was talking on two simple problems and said that any problem can be fixed just what are we doing about it. How can we change something?

Two questions that he talk about
1)How we stop a deadly disease?
2) How you make a great teacher?
He gave a general idea but for more info listen to the talk.

The average life span according to him has gone up and the number of kids who die has gone down. What does this mean to you?

If you're good at something transfer it to someone so it can be spread to benefit others. The education system does not reward teachers who are good. Even so the good teachers are not used as role models to help other teachers to be at around the same standard. In the end of all, everything is SYSTEM. If you want to have a good business method/plan Have A SYSTEM. In my existing job I learned that making a PROVEN SYSTEM and USING/FOLLOWING SYSTEM makes life easier and yet efficient. How is your 24 hr SYSTEM?

If you create a proven system everyone will want to follow that system. Apparently when I did some marketing research it is all categorized into 3 things -
PRODUCT - what type it is, who is your target for this, easy to make? target market?
BUSINESS PLAN - expansion, wellbeing of employees, career advancement, how you market the products etc.
COMPANY BACKGROUND - your goals of company, your philosophy, what you actually stand for

In my own understanding I agree that parents need to teach their children:
-SELF DISCIPLINE
-SELF ESTEEM
-SELF CONTROL
-MANNERS
-BEING GRATEFUL & APPRECIATIVE
-BEING LOVING, KIND & HELPFUL
-GIVING BACK TO OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE
-BEING RESPECTFUL OF THEMSELVES & OTHERS
