if you want the job to be done right, do it yourself

Planning for a family trip these days, God what I am happy my sister is doing the job instead of me. Internet is very useful as long as you don't have any references. I found out that you always have to ask for personal assistance as soon as your preferences is not the same as the standard offerings, so the cost reduction is lost since you are not doing it on line.
Well that should not be a problem if the standard offering would not be the same all over the world. Seems to me that tourist industry needs some real creative thinking to do. For god sake people change your way of thinking run some surveys or do some market investigations instead of replicating what your concurrents set up.
Not as if it was better in the good old day, when you ordered their catalogs and then you either called or went to their agencies for booking a trip. They just took the old style out of their catalogs and published them all on the Internet. What about having everything optional, by pick lists and let the search engine do the job of finding the trip options.
But then again if you want the job to be done right, do it yourself Don't you agree?

When we have more than we need

Don't know where to put the blame, for our overconsumption. Are we loosing the real meaning of life? I mean look around you, in every house there are more than one TV, several set of computers, in a lot of countries not just west families have more than one cars. Still we have not time to do real things as our parents did, like going out for fishing or a picnic. We do travel all around the world without exploring the world.

The earth has been overpopulated for long, but our problem today is that not that we are too many, we are too many rich enough to buy and consume more than we need. We need to change our life style for two reasons.
First global warming, and the second one is the fact that despite of growing wealth in the world, there are still those living with an income less than one $US a day.
Internet have changed our way of thinking and living, one of the best things with Internet is that we know what's going on other side of the world exactly as it happens. We can not deny the realities or be put in the dark any more. We know the truth for long now.
Seems to be right to get focused on important things in life, like going out for fishing. But before that we should leave the state of awareness behind and go into state of action. we need to take care of nature and care for it, in order to have any fish left there.
We need to take care of those less fortunate to leave happy and content with ourselves. For that we need to reduce our consumption, I hope this global finance crises push us toward a healthier life style soon.
