Positive from the recession!!

Well, we’re still in recession and it doesn’t look like improving anytime soon, but then there are still some good that has come out of this recession.

• Scammers who thought they could always get away with Ponzi scheme now believe that someday they will have to pay for it.

• People who have been laid off have taken on to do their own little businesses with which they feel more secured and begin to realize their entrepreneurship skills.

• A shift in attitudes, everyone is open to take on all kind of odd jobs to survive this recession and in the process begin to appreciate that any job can bring satisfaction.

• Everyone is more interested in the financial markets now than they were before the recession, their interest is only likely to grow during recovery and beyond, which means more involvement in the financial markets are likely in the post-recovery period which could lead to a closely monitored market that cannot be influenced only just by few corporate or individuals.

• More stringent government policies have been put in place in controlling the activities of large corporate (so I’ll like to think).

• From now on not every tom, dick and harry would be appointed as CEO of large corporates since now everyone realizes how their incompetence could lead to far reaching consequences. This means only those who have a genuine interest, understanding and the right attitude would also take on the job.

• People spending less on unimportant stuff and getting to better understand how much they could have saved in the first place.

• For those who have been laid off and who have been spending more time with their family, begin to realize on an emotional level what they have been missing while they were at work. From here on they will see things differently when it comes to balancing work life with personal life.

Those were just some of the good, I’m sure there are many more that can be considered, for instance, imagine the positive impact on the environment due to the fall in demand in the travel industry, carbon emitting production plants that are out of business etc., however this is something only most conversationalist will agree with, I guess.
