Nourishing Ourselves From The World's Buffet. ** You have permission to publish this article electronically or in print, free of charge, as long as the by-line is included. Notification of publication would be appreciated. Please send notification to mgalindo@translationsandmore.com ** The overwhelming truth is that during and after the exhibit, I almost wanted to yell for all the world to hear: "What an inspiration! What an invitation to open our eyes with awe and truly appreciate the globe and the new process of trust-building in this century!" Is your company open and ready to fuel its growth under this new set of principles? Are you ready to navigate this new multilingual era of 'try-vertising' and globally-assembled products and knowledge? This is not meant to sound like a broken record, but the synergies of this flattening world start with language. The road to forming partnerships with other nations is not without its fair share of bumps and curves. To communicate or not to communicate… that is NOT the question. The question actually is, "Are you ready for the overwhelming amounts of doors opening in your favor once you step over the thin border that divides humankind's diverse language and culture?" More and more, we see how communicating in and understanding foreign languages can be crucial to the success of many of today's organizations. President Bush recently said, "it was time for the Americans to start learning more languages to communicate with the world." In fact, 2005 was declared by Congress as the Year of Languages (www.yearoflanguages.org). So, the faster we fasten our seatbelts, the better off we will be on this journey along the International Super Highway with its 24-hour buffet of delicacies filling us with enlightenment at every twist and turn. From Texas to Germany, Mexico to Ohio and India to Italy, our flexibility and expertise allow us to jump on this bullet train whose self-service buffet dining room will feed us throughout the entire ride. So sit back and relax, as your conductor, Galindo Publicidad Inc, guides you through the intricate weavings and servings of civilization's cultures and languages. See you soon !
