// 2 minutes Ride //

Foto borrowed by a FB post


Rarely do I spend time on facebook.
And when I spend time is for 2 main reasons:
1) to check how successful my clients are and to find new ones. Nowdays you understand more about your clients from their facebook page which is a scary thing to write.
2) To cover the guilt that I am away. Facebook is the fastest way for me to be in all my friends' weddings, baptisms, and bdays.

At 5:30pm I decided to spend a 2 minute ride at the Home page of facebook to read what the FB community had to SAY:
A business page related to Fashion Week had uploaded 11 new photos from New York Fashion Week - the models, the vibe, the after party was all featured
An Italian friend shared a foto saying: Greci forza, Siamo con voi!
A French friend shared a youtube video from France featuring hundrends of French dancing the syrtaki dance to support Greece.
Another friend who is a stylist had shared a link about Whitney Houston's death.
A new mother posted a photo of her new baby
A business page of a company producing underwear shared a new special product line for Valentine's Day
All my Greek friends are sharing the foto that all the media channels didnt find worthsharing: The foto of 1,000,000 Greeks peacefully demonstrating outside of Syntagma yesterday. You see, all the media focused on was the bad incidents & the destruction.
A German unknown friend of a friend wrote to a Greek:
Hey Mates, with this I want to show solidarity with the Greek people. I'm German and I strongly support the uprisings for justice and democracy in Greece. Dont let hate come up! We have so much in common. Only our governments dont! You guys and us both disagree with our administration! One people, one struggle! Peace

I guess my 2 minute ride showed me that the people probably have one unique voice no matter the geographic distance. But the world around them; the business and political world will continue its own agenda UNLESS
WE ALL the PEOPLE MANAGE TO SHARE THE SAME VOICE..//

STAY TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE WHEREVER YOU ARE!
