If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

Visiting Yet another Village.....

If i was to meet the CEO of Electrolux.....the first question i would ask is.....How do you even manage to find places like Springfield, Tennesse to set up a factory in and second question would be How do you motivate your employees to work in a place like Springfield?

I will some day write in detail what Springfield is....In a nutshell i could call it a village the economy of which is run by Electrolux. Sam Walton had been obseving the growth of Electrolux, and forecasted the transition of the village into a town....and yey....he set up a store where people could buy groceries. WALMART....came and the rest followed. I believe two years ago there were just a few restraunts, a Walgreens....and then the rest just followed the vision of Sam Walton. On a side note.....i am starting to agree with my dad....that Sam Walton, and the Internet truly changed the "Way of Life" in the last two decades. I am sure this is not how he would put....but me being the lesser of an intellectual....with a limiting vocabulary, and sence of sentence construction. This is the best i could get.

Damn i am becoming a random striker....

So yes going back to villages and Electrolux.....last week i visited a village in transition....called Anderson in South Carolina where Electrolux has its refrigeration factory. I must say this place is a lot bigger than Springfield actually.

So where am i going next.....BEATRICE, Nebraska. I am eager to see what this place is like. Seems to be yet another Springfield, Anderson kinds. But lets see. We make Lawn Movers there. I am going to try and understand their Supply Chain and some other buzz words like Supply Chain.

Thats it from me....Gotta Get Back....a great book by Salman Rushdie. Midnights's Childern!
