Global Vision: Facing The Future
Global Vision: Facing The Future
It’s Summer here in Australia and as a result I’m spending lots and lots of time outside. Which means I’m not spending lots and lots of time looking after my blog.
Sorry.
The other impact of it being Summer is that rather than watch television for a little while each evening, I’m reading. One particularly excellent publication to which I subscribe is Resurgence Magazine. It is a HIGHLY recommended, excellent quality publication from the UK and worth every single penny it costs and then some. They have a website www.Resurgence.org and I can recommend that you take a look at it too. I subscribe to the magazine and from Australia that costs me a very pretty penny – as I said, it’s worth it.
Now to my point. I’m reading the current edition of Resurgence magazine on which they focus on the subject of Liberty. I’ll admit right now that I thought perhaps I wouldn’t really resonate with this edition, how wrong I was. More to the point, one of the keynote articles was by HRH The Prince Of Wales, or Prince Charles as I call him. Ho Hum thought I. Wrong again. I’m really going to have to practice my non-judgement skills a little more. 
I read every word of this article which was an excerpt from a speach the Prince had made for the Richard Dimbleby Lecture in July 2009. Now not being English I didn’t really know who Richard Dimbleby was, I do now. I Googled it. Then I went looking for the lecture series and the good old BBC sent me to the website of on HRH, The Prince Of Wales where there is a video of the whole thing. I didn’t watch it yet, because I had just finished reading the excerpt but I’m going to watch it and probably read the transcript too which is conveniently placed below the video clip.
The clip runs for almost 50 minutes so make yourself comfy, have a pot of tea to hand and enjoy it because it’s really important what he has to say. Not only that, it’s the way he says it. He’s made the connections, he has a bigger picture – a Global Vision. It’s important.
Here is the link to his page: http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/speechesandarticles/the_richard_dimbleby_lecture_titled_facing_the_future_as_del_573388579.html
Take the time to either watch or read. I wish more people of influence and leaders in our world would embrace a similar philosophy and world view.
Enjoy
