Not entirely true. The revolutionary is historically a bad ruler, and so is Yunus! Fairly sizeable numbers of the ‘benefitted” poor are routinely dispossessed of the little they buy with loans from Grameen, a not infrequent occurrence in a poor nation entirely dependent on Nature for success in agriculture. The best that can be said for Grameen’s repossession processes is that it’s the downside of banking. What horrifies his countrymen is the ease with which Yunus plays the poster visionary- revolutionary-saviour of the poor for the media. Such as yours. Taking a leaf out of his initial model, corporations in India are not only providing the same kind of micro-credit, they are doing better than Grameen in terms of bad loans because they give better counsel to borrowers on how best to use their resources. It’s something Yunus and Grameen could learn from, for the sake of his crumbling image in the land where you say he’s such a revolutionary..

I am greatly inspired and motivated by the story from Visionforce. I believe it has been, it is and it will be a real force to turn the world upside down in favour of the victims of injustice. May the Almighty bless and use Visionforce for the sake of the marginalized, poor and oppressed of the global family. I pray that I may be a useful instrument for Visionforce.

Shalom!

Wherever there’s a visionary, everything is possible. All is good that starts well.
If there were as many Yunusz as the world would need, then every one would be above optimum-and that’s what we certainly need.

When I look at Uganda, then Africa and every one around me (especially the youths), I get touched after reading “Muhammad Yunus and the New Visionaries”.

African, we must wake up!
If we could avoid selfishness, corruption, conflicts, … then what problems would we have? Certainly minimal.

The story is really encouraging. It is motivating to all visionaries and educative to those who are yet to have a sense of VISION (and have a positive attitude towards VISION)

I really love this guy’s story. What a visionary! He was conscious enough to recognize what the government and politicians cannot see. That a person’s social and economic status does not define who they really are. Although some people are born in poverty (myself included) it does not mean that they can not rise above it. For some people, all they need is for somebody to believe in them and give them a chance and they will prove their worthiness. Inherent in every human being is honor and trustworthyness. It is simply a matter of uncovering that which is already within.

There is no such thing as a war on poverty, even the metaphor is all wrong. We are not fighting a physical battle against anything. It is a mental challenge that we must face and deal with. In order to eradicate poverty you must change the mindset of people without money to think like people that have it. Mr. Yunus apparently took this idea and applied it and look at his results. Can you imagine a 99% repayment rate? That’s unbelieveable!

The key is to change the mindset. That is why I am such a huge believer in VisionForce. It challenges me change my mindset and look at the perceptions and assumptions that I have that may keep me from seeing the possibilities that are right in front of me. I am reminded of the saying “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change”. If you see scarcity and lack then that is what shows up in your experience. If you see abundance and prosperity, guess what shows up?

I choose to see a world of possibilities and I am now manifesting them as quickly as I can think them into existence. I believe in an infinite Universe that is at my command and simply responds to my thoughts and intentions. There is nothing that I can not create and manifest into my life.

This is fun and exciting stuff. I can’t wait until I’m sitting on the Oprah Winfrey show talking about this.

I had heard and read about this gentleman and it is just another pointer to what the individual can do. I hope that with inspiration from “vision force” we can all emulate him in some way and make a difference.

Thank you.

i live (on) a similar pivot …

let me quote “The human mind has incredible power to solve problems, but only the problems that we refuse to accept.”

and then i link this one to the recognition made by Ken Wilber that i today shared on worldcitizen forum:
“First, the depressingly bad: the very notion of ecological sustainability requires at least a worldcentric set of values-yet according to research over 70% of the world exists at egocentric or ethnocentric waves of development, rendering “one-person-one-vote” types of democracy miserably incapable when it comes to saving the human race from itself. How, then, can we possibly develop and implement the policies that we so desperately need?”

SO?

well, i can say i dreamed and put in our world the Generation Binding S’ilence, which i foresay is a Holographic Template Governance module that is gonna save our planet.

and it is all happening right now jan, 22 2007

thanks for this other happening and notice of it that seemed to trigger me (my essential being) to share this thought of co-opertion.
