Build the Foundation – Our Challenge together
What we are hoping is that this book is like casting that first pebble which will create ripples and that you will all join me Worldwide by casting your own pebbles whose ripples will cross, merge, and develop enough energy to reach the shore and create some waves. The wave energy will create a circling motion which will bring up sand and pebbles which in turn will change the shore line.
It will not happen overnight and there will be blockages, hiccups and false starts along the way, such is the nature of building anything that lasts.
The Worldwider Foundation will have some key roles but will be non political and non religious:
1. To be a portal through the website where people Worldwide can gather inspiration, network, share ideas and creativity across political and religious barriers and create their own Worldwider Rights that they debate and craft and begin to weave into the diverse and colourful fabric of their own societies.
2. To provide background support through you all building a ‘Toolkit for the Worldwider’ which will contain essential guidance on issues from how to network, how to turn my idea into reality, how to set and achieve realistic goals, how to assess what my skills are/build my skills, how to join together to find resources, how to lobby, how to learn more, how to become a social entrepreneur, how to keep going when you feel like giving up.
3. By bringing together key companies and people to turn ideas into action, beginning with companies working towards substituting existing products into those manufactured using more energy efficient or closed loop systems and thereby increasing their market share and profitability, as well as creating social wealth and wellbeing.
4. Eventually to , resources permitting, run courses and get togethers of people from all walks of life all over the world to forge a new anvil of peace, reconciliation and community
5. To build Worldwider hubs in many countries, starting with Germany To really change the World we need vision, ideas, working together so we utilise all of our knowledge and skills, but we also need action. There are too many ideas Forums where it is all talk and endless meetings.
There are also plenty of good ideas and enthusiasm, which fail because they are overambitious or too based on individuals ego and need for recognition. As a result some people burn along at great speed demanding this and that, upsetting people along the way and leaving exhaustion and turmoil in their wake.
The Foundation will encourage people to use a more sustainable model for change, believing that if you only achieve one very small change within yourself, it will create an effect and be as worthwhile as a big project or political change. Even if we just change our outlook to be brighter and more positive each day, supporting colleagues at work or our families, to believe in themselves, giving credit where it is due and not taking it when it is not. Such positive energy and outlook is infectious. Agree what you can’t change (eg if you work within a big political system or dictatorship) and agree what you can by small steps and celebrate reaching those goals along the way. Don’t see this as having a start and end point, or you will be frustrated and reaching the goal will be more important than the journey, and what you learn and pass on along the way. If you empower others to make a change then it really does happen. As an individual you do have power, the power of integrity, of the ability to help others and not
to abuse others or misuse your own authority and power. Together we can build a new Foundation that cuts across religious and political divides. Imagine what could be achieved if a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Rastafarian, Sikh, Protestant, Catholic and many others from different faiths all got together to agree how to change the world for the better and how to help each other to achieve it.
We can do it.
