Creative Capitalism

There was an article in Time Magazine about a speech Bill Gates gave at the World Economic Forum. Reading the article got me interested, Bill Gates tends to have good ideas about how to improve our world so I searched online and found the speech that he gave. His idea on Creative Capitalism is one that he is trying to lead by example. The main idea is that corporations combine self interest with world interest, profit with service. Just as Bill Gates has been revolutionary in business he has also been revolutionary in service and he want all corporations to join him in this cause. If corporations tried to combine self interest with service our world would improve drastically helping all. Bill Gate's idea impressed me and I hope that it has impressed many more people. Our world needs every hand to work toward improving the lives of every person. If we all looked out for our own interests but also tried to balance that with helping others, everyone would be happier and our world would be a better place to live.

Playing with blocks

Consulation Room #2

Just sitting here waiting and waiting and waiting, since its already been an hour and a half I decided to finally create my blog. The hospital is as good of place as any, I have my computer its connected to the Internet, I have nearly unlimited time and it distracts me from my hunger. Mom and me going hungry for him, my brother. He can't eat and neither can we until he's in surgery and we can leave. Mmm I can't wait. We're thinking Cafe Rio and trying hard not to make him jealous. He doesn't get to eat for two weeks. Liquids for him, real food for me. I'm glad its not me!!

Other than the hunger it is really quite enjoyable. Mom didn't get enough sleep last night and is entertaining us all! Jokes about pureed food and being in a mental ward. We've had a good time!!
