Apparently... love is not necessarily the answer

I had an interesting thought today while sitting at the Sales Intelligence Summit 2005.

It was extremely insightful. I would encourage anyone in sales or business management to try and attend next year's.

So I was looking around the room at the various individuals present. Women, men, old, young, fat, thin, tall, harry, and from all different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I thought to myself...with all the hatred, division, disputation and disparate thought in this world, what could bring all these people together in such a peaceful setting?

My skin began to tingle...chills went down my spine...my hair stood up...tears began to swell in my eyes...I had my answer!

It wasn't love, service, religion, or brotherhood. It wasn't a political move... It wasn't altruistic in nature.

No, the one element in life that crosses all borders and penetrates every soul on earth is none other than my personal best friend....MONEY.

Everyone in that room recognized the necessity and utility associated with money, and everyone in there had flown planes, driven cars, cancelled meetings and joined together in search of more.

What a wonderful world :-)
