Despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that GROWTH is a word blacklisted by many, including logisticians, the first article of my mini-series evoked an interesting response. The medium that asked me for an article went silent, industrial developers
followed suit, and the number of those asking for a sequel grew.
Therefore, I decided to first write a list of items of DEGROWTH or DEGROWTH. These will then serve as individual chapters of our miniseries
- THE VOLUME OF MEANS OF TRANSPORT ON THE ROAD
- SIZE AND NUMBER OF STORAGE SPACES
- NUMBER OF WORKERS IN LOGISTICS
- TIME
- COSTS RELATED TO LOGISTICS
- USER CONDUCT
- SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFLUENCES
- POLITICAL INFLUENCES
- GEOGRAPHICAL-CLIMATIC INFLUENCES
- PERSONAL INFLUENCES
Although it is not usual, I will start from the end.
What and how, can an individual influence logistics? Many people live with the feeling that they cannot influence anything as an individual, they often fall into depression because they will not be able to influence their lives.
Is it really so?
Isn't.
The reason for this is that regardless of where we live, our age, the position we hold or the work we do, regardless of our gender or educational attainment, there is only one person in our lives who is responsible for our future.
It may surprise you, because the media and social networks convince you otherwise, but it is not the Prime Minister, the President, or any other politician, not even your boss, teachers, colleagues, or parents, or people in your social network. It is a person
you meet every day when reflected in a mirror, whether in artificial, glass or in the one offered to us by nature.
IT'S YOU.
Why do I say that?
The reason for this is the fact that it is you who are responsible for your own behavior and it is YOU who first understands that GROWTH, or GROWTH, is not the path to poverty and deprivation, but to freedom and a life without addictions.
I can confirm that this is a reality from my own experience, where at the age of 42 the first step of my own work was to change my own life. Instead of looking for WHAT I CAN STILL HAVE, I began to appreciate what I already had. This personal change has
allowed me to become a change in itself and to inadvertently become a role model to be followed in 117 countries around the world.
A description of my own change will be described in the next part of the miniseries, so that you can see that there is no need to worry.
