Focus on humanity

摘要

I hold my breath when I open msnbc.com to find out what is new in the world, wondering what head-shaking news I will read about next. I have come to expect reports about political gridlock, self-absorbed celebrity, natural disasters and, quite simply, war. It causes me to almost yearn for good news and a more positive outlook. I know I am not alone, which is why when I read Arianna Huffington's April 7 post on huffingtonpost.com about appealing to consumers' better instincts by focusing on our sense of humanity it really resonated with me. She wrote about a Chivas Regal whiskey TV commercial with a voice-over referencing honor and gallantry, and how the true meaning of wealth is measured by doing the right thing.
