PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS

 


There are people who come into your life sometimes just for a season; they were never meant to stay forever. Sometimes, we find ourselves attached to people we think are there for a lifetime, but they're only meant for a season.

There are also people who enter your life like boosters for a rocket. If you’ve ever watched a rocket launch into space, you’ll notice the boosters fall off when the rocket reaches a certain altitude.

Some people aren’t equipped to handle the altitude you're heading to, so they fall off. Don’t be afraid when they do. They’re not bad people; they just can’t go where you’re going.

Different breed of organizations are now emerging, they succeed because they have courage, confidence or just sheer chutzpah to pursue a purpose beyond profit :  to engage, entertain and educate their audiences, who see their customers and employees as members of a like minded community, who create and administer cult-like following among their brand – both within and outside their organizations – who are not just different, but dramatically different and who push to the extreme the consequences of their dreaded positioning and strategy.  Virgin Galactic is one of the bold brands.
