Listening to Paul Polman during challenging times tends to help: "The experience of disappointment is a profoundly human one. Today, there are many of us who will be feeling it keenly. The risk of a bitter disappointment is that we allow anger, apathy, and fear to crowd out hope and take root within us. Today, we can afford ourselves the space to sit with our sense of loss. But as we know, true loss lies not in a defeat, but in allowing our anger and fear to overwhelm us. In the wake of decisions of such significance, ?????? ???????? ?????? ????????????????????????, ???????????????? ???????????????????? – ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????? ?????????????? ???? – ???? ?????????????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????? ????????????. Now is not a time for despair, for blame, or for petty recriminations and revenge. Now must be a time for compassion, for understanding, for hope, and for the courage to reach across divides. ???? ???????? ???????????????? ???????? ???? ?? ?????????????????????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ???????????? ??????????????????????: health, opportunity, safety, and the hope of a better future for our children and grandchildren. This holds true regardless of where we come from, what we believe, or who we vote for." Or in what country we reside in. Quite similarly, we talked at The Forum of Young Global Leaders Annual Summit in Singapore about the need for a positive cycle. A cycle that starts with the need to listen. ???? ???????????? ???? ???????????????? ???? ?????????????????? ???? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???? ???????????? ???? ?? ???????????? ??????????????...?Thank you, Samar S.
