Maintaining and growing prosperity while being mindful of the needs of others.
Being open to and respectful of others' points of view, no matter how misguided or poorly formed.
Becoming more compassionate.
Suffering fools gladly.
The point here is...most people don't have a 'number one with a bullet' SINGLE greatest concern. Putting food on the table, paying bills, getting gas in the car, getting the kids educated, keepin 'em healthy...while around us governments and corporations fritter away our money and then fritter away more trying to maintain the status quo.
All the while a new culture of fear has become hard-wired into an easily gulled populace and people are so divided over "the puppet on the left" and "the puppet on the right" that political differences become rabidly personal. This division is so strong that even in your country your government can't form majority rule and snaps an election because the parties can't walk away from the table with a compromise.
It's not very heartening, sir.
In light of this, my single biggest challenge would be to urge unity, but that seems futile.
