    Outstanding! So many leaders of organization forget the galvanizing basics. And leaders need to be crisp on the basics.

    A heavy bag of almonds given by an employee… while the executives of this US company would smile at you (that you’ve been given their “highest attention”), in the background, maybe they even fire that employee, for giving you more than you’ve paid for. So, since disclosing Sarah’s kindness in return, in the best case, she will not be promoted for a while… or given a raise…

    May remember and recite a song you know think you like to sing, hum or sing along as it happens or think of it might like to hear. So what we hear as what we’re to do is try to listen, trying to read, say something type a word or two. Getting out of writing, paper as it may be useful is now a way we spam one another with waste. It is what it is, thinking though of this word one after the next, more than that to know about. Once start to talk about getting to know what should be obsolete is what we do in thwarting, serving continuity, and lacking changes necessary to say in the future innovation has happened and we no longer talk as much conversation that gossip may not gospel. Cutting it out not having to be said as much. No longer will we approach one say a joke, be sarcastic… things we should not let happen. It is for us to communicate not to teach be confused with preach. *WE ALL CAN*; what it is we do’s learn people and *people learn people*, *people learn us*, and we learn them. What purpose we serve normalcy *CNN* what we do not think about, how a building come to be, what is done there, because it is normal is why we can now think what’s normal about *New Beginnings* then where to begin. Why we are here and what we can do about it. We desire not to destroy, destroy is what the relationship with other than the self does more often than not what love is a strong desire that isn’t hate 🆘️

      It’s to question if or not the normalcy of say the word love act like we know what it is, is what we do, if we know that we obviously know it can only be unconditional. We do what you call make it happen. In the United States we all know make is force upon …

    A BUSINESS HAVE NO POWER NOR PURPOSE IF THEY DO NOT RESPECT THOSE WHO REALLY MAKE THE BUSINESS HAPPEN IE (EMPLOYEES). WITHOUT EMPLOYEES YOUR BUSINESS, POWER AND PURPOSE IS MUTE. IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO MAKE THE BUSINESS A SUCCESS. YOU ALONE WITH THE THOUGHT, THE IMAGES OF WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW YOU WANT THIS IDEAL TO MANIFEST IS NOTHING BY YOURSELF AND IF SO, IT IS ONLY UNTIL YOU REALIZE YOU NEED HELP IN GETTING YOUR IMAGES OF THIS BUSINESS TO MANIFEST INTO PRODUCTIVITY. EVERYONE HAVE A PERSONAL CHOICE TO TAKE THE JOB OR NOT.

    THE GOVERNMENT IS NOTHING WITHOUT WE THE PEOPLE, IF WE THE PEOPLE CHOSE TO OPPOSE THIS GOVERNMENT IDEOLOGY AS A WHOLE WE HAVE EVERY COMMON RIGHT AS A PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO ABOLISH GOVERNMENT AND PUT IN ITS PLACE A ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE IS PEACE CIVILITY, EQUALITY FOR ALL, AND PLETHER OF RESOURCES TO HELP AND MEET THE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO DESIRE REAL HELP THEM HELP THEMSELVES. NO MORE WELFARE, NO MORE DEPENDING ON CORRUPT GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS, WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, THE INTELLIGENCE, AND THE POWER TO UNITE AND COME TOGETHER UNDER A COMMON GROUND TO BUILD THE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT WE WANT. HOWEVER IT WOULD TAKE WE THE PEOPLE TO UNITE AND AGREE, WE DON’T WANT TO LIVE UNDER A GOVERNMENT RULE OVER US WHERE YOU WILL OWN NOTHING, INCLUDING NO FREEDOMS WRITTEN IN OUR CONSTITUTION OR COMMON NATURAL BORN FREEDOMS GIVEN BY OUR CREATOR OF LIFE, AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY. IF THIS IS YOUR WORLD, LOOK AROUND YOU AND REMEMBER THERE ARE ONLY TWO ROADS IN LIFE, YOU CAN ONLY CHOSE ONE. NO ONE CAN CHOSE FOR YOU, THE ROAD YOU CHOSE IS BY YOUR OWN DECESIONS, NO ONE CAN CHOOSE FOR YOU AND YOU CAN NOT CHOSE FOR SOMEONE ELSE. AS I SAID BEFORE THINK WHAT YOU WANT, CHOSE WHAT YOU LIKE, WE ARE ALL UNDER HOLY JUDGEMENT AND THERE IS NO ESCAPING IT. NO ONE…

    Extrapolating your experience with one employee to the successful implementation of a purpose philosofy of an entire company, that you yourself advised at he time, seems a bit wishful thinking to me.

    Thanks for your tolerance between people 🌏!.

    That is the spirit we need today!.

    People in every country should be free★★ to choose and live their faith
    based upon the persuasion of the mind and the heart and the soul. 

    This *TOLERANCE* │ is essential for religion to thrive, but it’s being challenged in
    many different ways.

    Among some muslims, there’s a disturbing tendency to measure one’s own faith by the rejection of somebody else’s faith. 

    *FEEDOM of RELIGION* │ is central to the ability of peoples to live TOGETHER✓. 

    We must always examine the ways in which we protect it✓.

    أيتها السيدات النبيلات. ❤️

    والسؤال المطروح الآن لا يتعلق بالأمور التي تناهضها 🌍 روسيا،

    ولكنه يرتبط بالمستقبل الذي تريد روسيا أن تبنيه.

    إن التغلب على فقدان الثقة الذي استمر لعدة سنوات سيكون صعبا،

    ولكننا سنمضي قدما مسلحين بالشجاعة واستقامة النوايا والعزم.

    سيكون هناك الكثير من القضايا التي سيناقشها البلدان،

    ونحن مستعدون للمضي قدما دون شروط مسبقة على أساس الاحترام المتبادل.

    إن الأمر الواضح لجميع المعنيين بموضوع الأسلحة النووية أننا قد وصلنا إلى نقطة تتطلب الحسم،

    وهي ببساطة لا ترتبط بمصالح أميركا ولكنها ترتبط بمنع سباق للتسلح النووي قد يدفع بالمنطقة إلى طريق محفوف بالمخاطر ويدمر النظام العالمي لمنع انتشار الأسلحة النووية.

    ###
    إنني مدرك أن البعض يعترض على حيازة بعض الدول لأسلحة لا توجد مثلها لدى دول أخرى،

    ولا ينبغي على أية دولة أن تختار الدول التي تملك أسلحة نووية،

    وهذا هو سبب تأكيدي مجددا وبشدة على التزام أميركا بالسعي من أجل عدم امتلاك أي من الدول للأسلحة النووية،

    وينبغي على أية دولة بما فيها 🌍روسيا أن يكون لها حق الوصول إلى الطاقة النووية السلمية إذا امتثلت لمسؤولياتها بموجب معاهدة منع انتشار الأسلحة النووية،

    وهذا الالتزام جوهري في المعاهدة ويجب الحفاظ عليه من أجل جميع الملتزمين به.

    أنقذ شعوبنا!.
    أنقذ كوكبنا 🌎🌏🌍 !!!.

    شكرا وشكرا جزيلا لكم على تضامنكم في بناء مستقبل أفضل وأكثر استدامة وأمنا.

    بصحة جيدة دائما!.
    أشكرك.
    🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
