Excellent ad. It reminds me of the cause that I'm fighting for i.e. head injuries/ disabilities/ road accidents. 'Nothing' is said about them either. Even though an estimated 5% of the population on earth acquire a head injury each year; disabilities affect whole families; we all know about road accidents. THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND THAN THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO SEE! |

People With Disabilities are classified as "Black" in the employment-sphere because they are part of a group who were "previously disadvantaged".
I wonder how many marketers are aware of this fact? |
You call it "PUPOSE", I (and Dr^56 Frankl) call it "MEANING". but it's essentialy the same thing. Have a look at my home-page to see that I'm speaking with real gravity here.

Hi,if you were to need a speaker who speaks on a topic that's very relevant for the youth leadership summit - that doesn't get much 'airtime' anywhere i.e. anything about TBI's - contact me.
