Making the world work better

It was IBM's 100 year old birthday. As an IBM staff i was given a book "Making the world work better".

"Making the world work better", this has inspired me. This is such a great idea. I am so touched by it.

This is what human need, isn't it?

The world is in the mess, we really need people to have a common goal, which is to make this world work better! After all we, human, are far too fragile in the universe.

Honestly speaking, i never have the sense of belonging to IBM since day 1 i joined. My perspective is i work in many projects, close them to make sure clients pay IBM and that's it. Never have i had a single thought that my work actually contributes to the human civilization in a direct manner, just like scientists do.

In fact, some of the projects were actually initiated from some awesome ideas! It will be cool if the consumers are able to enjoy the final result from these projects. The thing is, clients always make sure gaining profit is the priority, and that's the perspective they will look at all the time.

Resource constraint should not be the barrier that stops us to make the world work better. After all, it is such a great honor being part of the members to help the civilization grow.
