We need to do a better job of maximizing the fulfilling of potential, both macro and micro.
When we give aid to poor nations, we need to analyse everything, and we need to do what is best to bring about the fruition of the potential of each country.
For instance, in Colombia they have great soil for growing coffee, and for growing other things, and they also have human potential. So, we give them business loans to grow coffee, and to grow strawberries, and to grow other things. And we focus on education to get the most out of the human potential. It is working, and things are getting better in Colombia. Colombia also has gold, and other things, we need to maximize our ability to bring out the most of the potential of Colombia.
And in every poor nation they need education, and libraries. As we look to see what other potential is there.
On the micro...
I have a friend who is a great actor, with professional training, and he called me desperate looking for a job and was even willing to clean toilets. He needs to live up to his potential. He needs to be acting. He can also teach acting. And he can direct, etc. He needs to be working at a movie studio here in Hollywood, instead of being desperate. Meanwhile, he got a job driving for Amazon, and that is what he is doing now. It is a waste of his talent, and he is not living up to his potential. Our people at our employment opportunity offices need to do a better job of hooking people up with jobs that will bring out their full potential.
The people who cannot speak English, and who cannot read and write, and who have no skills, need to be the ones cleaning toilets, not the people who are trained and educated.
And there are people with learning disabilities who cannot read and write, but they are great at doing construction work, they can pour cement, and they can hang dry wall, etc Construction workers can buy a house and raise a family even though they cannot read and write.
People who cannot speak English, and who cannot read and write can also do landscaping, and they can mow lawns etc.
There is also dog grooming for the uneducated people.
We need to get the people into the jobs that best take advantage of people's potential.
And when we see children in school who are over-achievers, then we need to guide them into careers that best use their potential, they can be professors, doctors, scientists, etc.
People who are disabled and who are in wheelchairs, can be architects, and they can do other desk jobs.
We need for the best and the brightest people to be able to rise to the top, and we need to get the most out of people.
And when we help foreign nations we need to make sure that we analyze everything and that our aid money is well spent. We need to look at their natural resources, etc, and we need to make the most out of our aid to them.
Salute,
Tony V.
