A conversation with my mind

Today I spent less than an hour pondering and having conversations with my mind: about the worsening economic situations in the emerging world. In a sad mood, my mind was like a river, amber-tinted in the shadow of it's bank

Our conversation was around some changing fortines, as Lives in the emerging markets have gone bananas. People now  live in abyss of hopeless.  Run-away inflation is speeding. Poverty is on rapid climb.

Politicians are lying machines. They promised their people heavens on earth. They gave them moonshines. But many have failed to accomplish their promised accomplishments. 

Their subjects are disgruntled, disheveled and disillusioned. Many, many have died and their bones are crying their graves.

Politicians, especially in the poorer world frame policies that chase proteins away from meals,  and other nutrients have vamoused from family menu. They are curled attrocious cobras: gentle without but dubious within.

Their typical households never complete without a host of a house help. Their childrens' bank accounts are robust. But masses wallow in painful pans. No man has eyes to see the colors of pains.

Here is me vs my mind:

John: Hey, mind, it's been a while since we talked. What are your thoughts on the current economic situation in developing countries?

My Mind: John, it's concerning. The worsening economy is affecting countless lives. As a blogger, you have a platform. Have you considered addressing this issue?

John: Absolutely, but it's overwhelming. I want to bring awareness without spreading despair. How can I strike that balance?

My Mind: Maybe focus on stories of resilience and innovative solutions emerging despite the challenges. Shed light on individuals making a positive impact in the face of economic adversity.

John: True, highlighting solutions could inspire others. On another note, pursuing a professorship has been on my mind. Do you think it's a viable path given these economic conditions?

My Mind: Academia can offer stability, and your insights could contribute to understanding and addressing economic challenges. It might be a worthwhile pursuit, considering the potential long-term impact.

John: That makes sense. I guess combining my blogging and teaching could amplify the positive influence. Thanks for the perspective, mind.

My Mind: Anytime, John. Let's keep navigating these thoughts together, as we discussed those talented idiots, because a peace of the nest is peace for the birds!

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...
