Mauro Libi Crestani: “Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength.”, quote by Corrie Ten Boom.

By Mauro Libi Crestani. Corrie and her family  accomplished more than most. They were Dutch and when the Nazi’s took over their country during World War II, they built a safe house to hide Jews and to save whom they could.   On February 28 1944, the nazis raided their house and arrested the entire Ten Boom family. They were first sent to prison and then to a concentration camp.  Corrie’s mom told her to instill a positive attitude within her to survive the camp, “There is no pit so deep, that he is not deeper still”. The family were strong believers in God, but the message was clear. There is no prison and situation so bad that they are not stronger than. Corrie was released from the camp ten months later by a clerical error. She was left penny less, yet her attitude was one of hope….

”God does not have problems for me – only plans.”.

After the war, she set up a rehab center in the Netherlands. She travelled the world as a public speaker, appearing in more than 60 countries. During this time, she wrote many books, several which became films.

She was to receive many awards for her heroic deeds. She was also knighted by the Queen in honor of her work during the war. In Harlem a museum is named after her. There is also a woman’s college in NYC names after her.

Anna Frank was also from the Netherlands during World War II. She was jewish and had to go into hiding when she was just 9 years old. Her end came a few years later when she was killed in a concentration camp. Each and everyday she had to keep hidden in a small room. She was never allowed to have friends or go outside, at any moment she could have been found and killed. How did a girl her age mentally survive all that time in hiding? She keep a diary and believe it or not, she keep hope alive with her positive attitude.

 “The great news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” 

Hopefully none of us will every have to be in such circumstances as Anna Frank . If you read her diary, you will see just how a positive attitude can help one through the worst of times and circumstance. In normal everyday life, a positive attitude could bring one to their full potential. It is only when they give up that all is lost. By Mauro Libi Crestani.

Mauro Libi: Social responsibility can improve your financial performance

 Social responsibility represents benefits for the society where the organizations are located, but for the companies too , since their effects are also felt in profitability.Just as you read it, it is proven that the risk of affecting the profitability of companies and enterprises grows when there is no specific application of responsibility with the organization's environment, nor transparency and business ethics. It is therefore, essential that organizations incorporate socially responsible actions into their management and, the benefits go beyond philanthropy or timely help that companies can provide to the communities where they operate.The actions of social responsibility are highly beneficial for organizations beyond the immediate effect that their action generates in society, and in the long term, the contribution that companies and enterprises make in their environment help generate a virtuous circle and healthy economic development.  How they do this...

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs.
