If you’d like to take 3 minutes to watch something that helps you put everthing into perspective, let me prescribe a dose of Carl Sagan’s enlightened message … The Pale Blue Dot.

Perspective is very grounding. Perhaps it should be mandatory viewing for every leader aspirant.

A spec among specs, I appreciate the perspective, which should be revisited often.

Perspective is everything.

It does leave me in total wonder,amazement and awe, that we could be so blind to the reality of our situation. I am stupefied at ‘mans inhumanity to man’ and cannot recall a time when I didn’t wonder at it. This document puts it into clear unquestionable perspective. Thank you for directing us to it.

Recession ! Depression! Bring it on !
I remember speaking to a group of TV executives and having the temerity to suggest there might be a place for a good news programme – not even a channel but a mere programme! – and I was dismissed out of hand. The media has a lot to answer for….
Why should there not be a home for films like this ?

Yes the common view of the situation changed to a better view of the situation.
