It's unfortunate that organizations normally learn and take notice only after great tragedies. There are areas you can control, there are areas you can only influence, and there are areas you neither can control nor influence. Many people tend to worry most about the last item. Focus in on the objectives closest to you first. If nothing else, they'll help you build momentum to take on larger, more complex issues.
People are curious to know the lives of others, but slow to correct their own.
Reading about the lives of other people can be inspiring at times. Ordinary folks who accomplished great things despite enormous pressures. Likewise, create a life for yourself that you may be proud to pass on to the coming generations. We're not talking about living the perfect life, but one in which you were strong enough to resolve your problems no matter how unmanageable, and carried yourself with unwavering dignity and character. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently.
