The Disney example is a great one--that was a man with amazing vision as well. And you're right, it's really quite amazing how, once we get over ourselves, the help we can provide other people might be so simple and even reasonably easy to accommodate yet can have such a big impact to others. -Raz Hi Christine.

I for the last year or so have been watching a friends 3 kids in the morning for a whole 15min. before school and to her I am saving her life and to me what is the big deal. I am home, you are a married Mother of 3 and you need a little help, no worries. But not all people think that way. Driving home from the airport from the big event in Portland, I was talking with the ladies in the car and it occurred to me that Univera can be very closely compared to Walt Disney. Everyone who works for that Company is dedicated in honoring Walt Disney's vision. Mr. Disney didn't live long enough to see his vision created and yet they are all working that dream like he was by their sides. It is amazing to be there, you want to pick up your life and work for them. It is refreshing and at the same time why aren't we all that passionate?? We all need to look to our neighbor and lend a hand, open a door, say thank you and remember that when you win we all win. Embrace life. It is a short one, so bring your best and make it a great one!! I agree with the idea that a lot of people are out for themselves.

My wife and I have made it a point to actively seek people who get excited about what we're doing in life. We want to be with people who build us up - and allow us to build them up too. Thanks for the observational thoughts. I completely agree with #3. My wife and I have made it a point to actively seek people who get excited about what we’re doing in life.

I find it very unusual to find a culture and community in a relationship marketing company in which greed is not emphasized but instead giving, helping, serving, and generosity are reinforced. I agree that the right community is vital to character and personal growth. It is really refreshing to me, and makes me want to align and be a part of such a community. I think that our American culture is currently sick and maladjusted, thus it will be exciting to be a part of a counter-cultural community that emphasizes values that I agree with.
