What you put is what you get!
Was looking back at the two years that I had been in my workplace. There were a lot of changes. People come and people go, faces change all the time even for high management posts. The only thing that did not change was the physical environment. The trees are still the same, the stairs, buildings, flowers, chairs and tables. They did not experience as much change as compared to the human environment.
Some thoughts came into my mind. Imagine my workplace being a container. The people that work at my workplace are the contents of the container while the physical environment is liken to the materials that are used to make the container cos most of the time it cannot be change, but the contents can. So what sort of thing you put into the container now is very impt. If you put in apples, then the container would look red, assuming a good container is a pristine glass one and a lousy glass is something that cannot see the inside. If you put in shit, the glass will be stained and the container would smell. Yucks!
A good container can be easily duplicated as long as you got money, meaning the physical environment can be duplicated as long as you have the money. But the people that you put in the container will determine whether the overall look or 'smell' nice or not. Even though u have a bad container but what you put in are gems and precious stones, the shine from the stones will still be able to penetrate out and make it nice and valuable overall. But if you have a nice container which you can see clearly what is inside and but you put shit in it, like I mentioned before, it is going to smell bad and look extremely ugly.
Potray this to your company, if you are the boss. What type of people are you staffing your company with?? Good people, or bad people? If you staff your company with a lot of incapable people, your company is going to suffer, even if you are able to provide a good image to your clients but if you staff your company with capable people, as long as you have a decent image provided to your clients, you are still able to secure businesses. The point here is that human resource, is being neglected by a lot of companies. Bosses must realise that it is the people that will make a difference to your business. Not your tables, chairs and computers. It is the people.
Potray the container to our life. If we put in the container anger, pessmism, complaints, bad friends, drugs, vices, bad health and other negative stuff, then how are we able to lead a good life with all these things in them (even if we started with a good container - born in a rich family)? But what if we put in our life, supportive friends or spouse, joy, happiness, optimism, love, good health and so on. Now our life will become more beautiful even if we are not born with a lot more resources on our hand (bad container).
Food for thoughts?? Better check all the containers that you have with you, see what type of contents have you put inside.
Cheers!

The problem is that most of time, the good-looking container is never transparent. Thus you can never see the inside.
