200 Years in the making
Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.
- Benjamin Franklin
I was speaking with a friend this week and they send me a link to the YouTube clip below. Our conversation started around financial growth and change, movement in markets, demographics etc. However, everyone in any country has certainly been having these conversations whether they make a nickel an hour or much more.
The premise of the clip is human progress in the last 200 years, moving from the early 1800′s through the industrial revolution, the great depression, two world wars, including breakout of new countries and the demise of others. It’s a few minute video to watch, and ANYONE will get value from it, it’s actually very fascinating.
The feeling it left me with was one of long term hope and prosperity for the future. Not that I don’t currently have that. I am sure you like me, everyone once in awhile looks forward and back in time, charting the years they been on this planet…the growth and progress made and how we are going to leave our thumbprint on this planet.
Enjoy.
