Earlier today, I was having a discussion about words with my colleagues David and Masami.
Somehow or other the discussion got around to the development of new words. And when you think about it (or when you read people like William Sapphire in the International Herald Tribune), you realise that new words just appear because people use them!
So, I mentioned that this is already word: Killjoy.
Why do we always talk about ‘sharing the joy of giving’? Isn’t B1G1 a new form of 'effective giving' program? Isn’t it about raising the profile of the company and creating socially responsible image while making sure the money we donate is effectively used? What is it to do with joy?
Well, these are actually some of the end results that our giving and sharing can lead us to. These just happen.
