Robert Muller 's Good Morning World

>From Robert:

Cleo Nickelsen has sent me the following text by Al Gore. Please publish it in a Good Morning World.

This year a new UN secretary General will be selected by the five big powers of the Security Council. Kofi Annan ends his term at the end of December. Since during its existence of 60 years, the UN has only male Secretaries General.

I hope that a woman will at long last become a Secretary General. The USA should be a leader in such an election.

Very Warmly, Robert

"One problem is the dominance of a distinctively male way of defining the global agenda...and a disconcerting insistence upon ignoring not only the contributions of women but the distinctively female way of experiencing the world, of thinking about the world, of defining the challenges and discovering the solutions for those challenges.

We have, in short, concentrated on manhandling the environment....

Our survival as a species depends upon the establishment of a greater balance between the two ways of experiencing our world that coexist as part of the human experience."

--Senator Al Gore addressing Parliamentarians for Global Action, March 23, 1992.

The United Nations’ legendary Robert Muller maintains with the Dalai Lama that happiness is the purpose of life. With the
re-release of Muller’s 1978 classic Most of All They Taught Me Happiness, he and his wife Barbara Gaughen Muller are
committed to teaching “why happiness works,” how it’s a choice, and that being happy is actually proof that you are
living your code of destiny.

Learn how DECIDING to be happy even in the most difficult situations contributes to the health and well-being of ourselves, each other and the entire planet.
