Business Leaders & Success (Tassajo)

Can companies make money while doing good. --- Socially responsible companies

At first glance, socially responsible companies are hard to come by. Their goals range widely, entailing anything, from curbing pollution to educating students about substance abuse. Or a company might hire employees from disadvantaged neighborhoods or offer a great package of benefits. That variable nature can make it difficult to distinguish them from the many companies that boast about their environmental efforts or philanthropy when their main lines of business are not socially responsible, or worse.

A closer look, however, reveals that these companies' social and environmental goals aren't add-ons or marketing ploys. Of course, detractors insist that the very notion of building a business around a social agenda is misguided. They argue that companies can do more good by being as profitable as possible and assisting social causes through philanthropy or volunteerism.

But most social entrepreneurs believe that a corporate structure is the most efficient agent. As profit-seeking businesses, they are spared the need to chase a limited supply of grant money. They also have more tools to motivate employees and lure top-notch talent. True, it is difficult to manage and grow a business that is accountable to multiple constituencies. But, you can succeed, if you proceed with care.

To create a business with a social mission you have to have a product or service that people will want and an effective way to sell it. In some cases, the impetus to start a company may come well after you've committed to a social agenda.

Darkness (Created by Tassajo S)

Darkness has fallen
No turn
No voice
No peace

Life is confussing
Help no voice
no peace
no life
no love

Darkenss has fallen
I want to believe
Not all that I see

Turn run
be free

We are made to believe
all that we see
Darkness has fallen
we lose hope
we lose destiny

Darkenss has fallen
We see black and white
we see clouds
no were to turn
no were to run

No Peace
No hope
No lives
No freedom

DARKNESS, DARKNESS, DARKNESS
NO HOPE, NO FREEDOM, CAN'T BREATH
HELP

Darkness has fallen
Help
I can't see
I can't feel
I cant' believe
All hope is gone

Light Please Light
Give me hope
Give me peace
take aways the darkness

Let me be free

She carries a scale on each of her sides

My head is spinning

Why you may ask
Because Lady Liberty is standing on her head
What is this term "Justice"
She says
Is justice black, white, or red

I laugh out loud
Why you may ask

The wheels are turning in my head
Does the scales ring true?
Can Justice really be Color Blind?

to favor the have
but the have not ....
HAVE NO justice

I ask what is justice name

"Democracy"

Please watch Lady Liberty
Balane her scales
For you never know
Which way justice will prevail

In my life
I would have to say
Dam JUSTICE is "blind"
