Cooperate and Share
Our world has many
serious problems: poverty, illiteracy, war and intolerance, bad drinking
water, desertification, infant mortality, inequality.....too much for
any individual or group or government. To effectively solve these problems,
we need to collaborate and work together. The cooperative model adds tremendous
benefit. The more organizations share resources and experience, the more
efficient and effective they will become. A saying goes, "Smart people
learn from their mistakes, smarter people learn from other people's mistakes,
and the smartest people learn from smart people's mistakes." By sharing
our experiences, we can learn from both our failure and success. We're
also applying this model to purchasing and creating a shared buying service.
The more buying power we can organize with other companies, the more discounts
we can leverage and the better pricing will be for everyone. We see this
networking function as one of our most important roles and we're using
this page to archive helpful information. Please send your suggestions
for adding to these links.10,000+
