coffee beans


I don't believe we can do so many things in this world. That is the small routine things that matter. How I wish that I can contribute to the world will start from the daily basis the things that I do for me, myself to the company and to the community. Quite apart from anything else, my experience is trying to change things for the better makes you feel better, healthier.

Nowadays we often heard Multinational Corporation strongly put an effort on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign. CSR is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society. Business giving back to the society.

I believe it is now more important than ever before for business to assume a moral leadership. The business of business should not be about money, it should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed.

Business must be run at a profit, else it will die. But when anyone tries to run a business solely for profit..... then also the business must die, for it no longer has a reason for existence.
In terms of power and influence, you can forget what you were taught in school, forget politics. There is no more powerful institution in society than business. As I believe that business is one of the way by which we could introduces values into a non-value industry. Anything that change values changes behavior and all knowledge should be translates into action.

CSR is also about people power. We can vote with our money. Yes, I definitely won’t buy the T-shirts from a company that hire children worker.

Human are individually communicative person : When you do good in a community, the benefits eventually get back to you.

Little Dragon work in company which adopted baby giraffe in the National Zoo, very cute !!
And more and more company aggressively launch a campaign “Plant a Trees” or “Save a Reef”.
Provide education for low-income families, built facilities and so on. We need business that safeguards the environment. We need business that encourages countries to educate their children, heal their sick, value the work of women and respect human rights.

It doesn’t matter that your company is 3 persons or 3 million persons, you can always start your CSR project. My aunty and I start our CSR project by re-cycling the used coffee powder for fertilizer. As we generates lots of used coffee beans on daily basis, instead of throwing it away we are giving it to the landscaping company for them to use as a natural fertilizer for the plant.

And I personally use the used coffee beans and mixed it with honey, oats and yogurt and use it as a body scrub to make my skin glow plus the caffeine in the coffee have a slimming effect. Double good !!
