Business Communication II Speech I would like to start with a simple question: “Who here would like to come every morning to class driving a luxurious Red Ferrari?” Every Nation has its Concerns, every Country has its concerns. We have some Universal Concerns that scale-up and arise to the level of a Global phenomenon. This Phenomenon is the obsession with material things. It can range from the phone in your pocket to that luxurious Red Ferrari car you desire to own someday. As humans, we have a material side, a spiritual side, and an intellectual side. All these sides have to be nurtured in the human being. What we are taught here today is that only the material side that you have to fulfill, just your senses, your passions, your lusts, your desires. Just fill those. So when people start overspending When people start spending money they don’t have on things they don’t need They’re living according to their desires, but mostly they’re living according to the standards of our consumption society. You know what a consumption society means? You become obsessed with the brand of watch you’re wearing, or the brand of shoes. This creates an artificial, like fake society, and it creates those high standards that nobody can live up to. It leads to continuous Depression.

Business Communication IISpeech

I would like to start with a simple question: Who here would like to come every morning to class driving a luxurious Red Ferrari?Every Nation has its Concerns, every Country has its concerns. We have some Universal Concerns that scale-up and arise to the level of a Global phenomenon.This Phenomenon is the obsession with material things. It can range from the phone in your pocket to that luxurious Red Ferrari car you desire to own someday.

As humans, we have a material side, a spiritual side, and an intellectual side. All these sides have to be nurtured in the human being.What we are taught here today is that only the material side that you have to fulfill, just your senses, your passions, your lusts, your desires. Just fill those.So when people start overspendingWhen people start spending money they dont have on things they dont needTheyre living according to their desires, but mostly theyre living according to the standards of our consumption society.You know what a consumption society means? You become obsessed with the brand of watch youre wearing, or the brand of shoes.This creates an artificial, like fake society, and it creates those high standards that nobody can live up to. It leads to continuous Depression.For example; some of the richest Countries in the world have the highest suicide rates.Another Example; How many platinum musicians, artists, Hollywood Actors are dying of drug overdoses. The answer is many.They have everything, but still Theyre so depressed with reality that they want to drug themselves up, so they dont have to face reality. And theyre killing themselves over it.These are not people you want to be like; these are people you want to feel sorry for.Life certainly gets easier, when you start not being so deluded by fashion, by brands, or the next material thing in your life.Like Oh ! You have an Iphone 5. I cant be your friend, I only have an Iphone 4.I quote Jack Keroucac Have less, Do more, Be more
