Most of the time, people who do all the dirty works are left unnoticed and unappreciated. This is a very sad reality that a lot of people experience. “At the end of the day isn’t it the person with the most mud on his or her shoes, not the one with the most conference speaking engagements, who is doing the important work?”

It seems that every day on Facebook I receive at least five requests to receive some kind of little green plant to help prevent global warming. Many times, people attend conferences, or speak at them, send and receive frivolous Facebook "plants," or post blogs on how we should all be doing more to help out some non-profit organization. And then they don't ever do anything else to really get stuff done. On the flip side, though, if no one handed out flyers about upcoming fundraisers or any other act to create awareness, fewer people would even know to help out. It seems that a healthy balance is required, and also an understanding the some people have the talent needed to plant the trees while others have the talent needed to raise the money to buy the trees.

I've written books about a substantive discovery about altruism. The books show how we can improve our designs, products, processes and interactions. Often people are more interested in talking the talk, but if walking the walk includes reading a book about a discovery they'll pass that opportunity right by. So, I agree with you about the weaknesses that you note. I couldn’t agree more. I’ve written books about a substantive discovery about altruism.
