Let's begin with some brainstorming. It may seem like we can't live without fast food restaurants, television, Nintendo, the mall, the Internet, and the telephone, but lets break it down to the basics. Food and water probably top the list. Then, there's shelter, communication, and sanitation. Once you determine the necessities, jot down the people responsible for providing these things in your life.
People do different types of work for a variety of reasons.
They might have a talent, learn a skill, choose a lucrative profession, work in a family business or just fall into something. You can Make a Difference by rethinking who is valued in society and why they are valued. Make a point to introduce yourself this week to someone who is doing you and your community a service. Ask them what they like about their jobs, what they dislike, and let them know you appreciate their good work.
