“ Outside the Box”
What a fabulous example of a nation coming together and in
the process illustrating the latent Great British nationalism within most of us
showing our appreciation and pride
generated by the fantastic achievements of both our Olympic and Paraplegic
athletes?. Fantastic virtually everyone will say
Yes! We should also
remember and be proud of the many thousands
of volunteers of every colour class and creed who freely gave of their
time to become “Team makers”, “Ambassadors” and members of the contingent of
Entertaining Performers who added the visual impact to the overall
presentation.
We also admired the many skilled UK craftsmens and their teams who actually built the Olympic
Park and Specialist Venues, the designers and administrators who created our GB
Olympic bid and administered and materialised the dream into what we can
proudly proclaim, without doubt, nor challenged as the “Greatest Show On Earth”
- 6 weeks of breath-taking human endeavour and achievement.
2012 will be remembered for generations to come as an
example of a nation which can rise above adverse world economics, politics and
religions, uniting and welcoming all nations and peoples of varying physical
capabilities, bringing them together,
integration irrespective of colour class or creed to participate in such a friendly competition
over the 6 weeks of a splendid UK Summer
Yes the spectacle materialised into a classic illustration
of what can be peacefully achieved by harnessing individual, personal human endeavour.
The solution is that we should never underestimate the
collective and individual, group or team can contribute to such a wide variety of
causes. However it does require the “administrators and governing committees”
to realise, appreciate, understand that each individual volunteer’s contribution and
assets should not be treated simply as “fodder” for the cause.
It requires a spec
ial personal and group empathy within any organisation to harness this great personal
volunteer potential which exists in everyone – the skill is recognising , utilising
and appreciating the latent skills within everyone ( yes everyone)
