Bula is a Fiji term analogous to “aloha” in Hawaiian meaning hello and goodbye. It also means “life” and emphasizes “life is good.” I’m not from Fiji. I’ve never been to Fiji, but I’d love to visit it someday. The fact is, I came across this word when I was in my 20s and fell in love with it so I began to use it as a salutation on internal memos to my staff. I had to explain it the first time I used it, but once was enough. It’s a memorable word.
Network is all about people. They make a difference. YOU make the difference. The power is in the collective – some of us, many of us, all of us – working together to help one another.
Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
