Executive Momorandum(Best of) Come On, Get Happy8/27/2009
EXECUTIVE MOMS IS GOING ON VACATION! We hope
you will enjoy this (updated) reprise of one of our favorite Momorandums
from a few years ago, which seems as timely as ever. We will see you again in
September -- enjoy these final fleeting days of summer!
You can turn here for a source of significant news (of the positive type) as
well as for quirky stories that engender a smile. Some examples?
A national news feature on a pregnant woman who saved her neighbors from a fire
(versus the many stories about those who've perished in one). In contrast to the
never-ending stories of corporate greed and corruption in the C-suite,
headlining the Happy News business section right now is a feature on a major
corporate CEO who just reached the $25 million mark in scholarship funding.
And instead of feeling your psychosomatic tendencies stoked by more stories
about swine flu and every other potential health catastrophe, we felt better all
around after reading of the Arizona woman whose random ride in a taxicab led her
to find a perfect kidney donor match: the cab driver.

Conceived
to be a supplement to more traditional information consumption,
HappyNews has a mission to report on, just that-- the good stuff
that's happening in the world, and in our own backyards. As they maintain,
"our basic belief is not that people should be insulated from bad news... We
encourage people to be fully engaged, informed citizens... we just believe much
of the traditional media reports a disproportionate amount of negative news." As
such, they seek to balance the scales.
