As everyone knows, the attacks have been devastating.... BUT
People in business are the world's best problem solvers. In fact, we're at the front line of building up the economy again!
These attacks have given many people new problems.... But new problems means that there's something to do, as it means that there's a need for solutions, and businesses are at the forefront of solving people's problems!
What problems has this event caused for many people? People are having worries about their security, there are problems with "shell-shock", problems with travel.... But while some people see difficulties, others see problems to be solved, and in business part of the "job" is solving problems in the ways that people want.
There are some big issues here.... While it is true, these also represent opportunities, the best way to think about this (I think) is to see them as problems which need solving, in order to get everybody back on their feet. And who's going to solve these problems if the business community doesn't do it? The bulk of it is up to those of us in business!
Check out the article linked to below.... :)
