Lenovo blogger shares post on gratitude

November 28, 2008

It’s worth remembering that blogs are not just viewable by the people in the country where they are written. Rather, they are global platforms that transcend borders. Bill Stevenson, who manages Corporate Social Investments for Lenovo, recently shared a guest post from a sales manager working for the company’s Australian division.

While traveling in India recently, he took some amazing photos and wrote: A debate rages in the car: we are arguing about the source of happiness of these women. Eventually we decide that it comes from their sense of place. They are not aspiring to great wealth, they are content with small improvements to ease the burden of their lives. It makes me think about how lucky I have been in the lottery, born into a middle class Western family with access to high levels of education and high paying employment.

This is not PR. This is not even about a product or service. This is authentic honesty from one man working for a giant global corporation, sharing his feelings about the world. Does your blog allow such honesty? If not, why not?
