A recent incident made me realise how arrogant and conceited people get when in power. And when they get that power in the first place because ‘we the public’ give it to them, you really wonder at it. Look at politics or media. I mean, aren’t politicians and journalists around to ‘serve’ people… do they do that honestly or committedly? The recent Murdoch case is enough said. And they have the cheek to flaunt a holier-than-thou arrogance! If it weren’t for us ordinary, non-powerful, non-influential, regular, common people, where would you be? What would you be? Remember your calling, which, like any other work, profession, occupation, is just ‘work’, but with a nobler motive. Do it honourably, stay humble, stay grounded, and count your blessings if we still ‘keep you in power’, whether we elect you or read you, and be justly thankful, like all of us are to our audience, clients, customers or whoever it is we strive to delight… Here’s something that tickled me from this site schindler.org *** [defining news] Go out and find things that people want put in the paper And things that people don't want put in the paper. And interesting things. Like that rain of dogs a few months ago? There was no rain of dogs two months ago. But... One puppy is not a rain. It fell out of a window. Look, we are not interested in pet precipitation, spontaneous combustion, or people being carried off by weird things from out of the sky... Unless it happens. Well obviously we are if it does happen. But when it doesn't, we're not. Okay? News is unusual things happening... And usual things happening... And usual things, yes. But news is mainly what someone somewhere doesn't want you to put in the paper ... Except sometimes it isn't. ...News all depends. But you'll know it when you see it. Clear? Right. Now go out and find some. *** |
