Several years ago, I wrote a column in our Daily Umbrella newsletter that touched on political elections being predictable based on who you would rather sit down and have a beer with. A reader responded to my column and shared a link to a video from Heineken beer that I had not seen before.
The video has been viewed more than 2.9 million times since it was posted in 2017, so some of you may have seen this already. Even if you have, it’s worth another look, as it is a reminder of how even those of us who seem miles apart politically can be on the same page if we try to set our differences aside and work together on common goals. Take 4 minutes and check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etIqln7vT4w
I enjoyed this video and its message because I strongly believe that we could be so much further ahead in so many ways if we could simply focus more on how we are alike instead of how we are different. In finding that common ground, we will learn to better accept and appreciate our differences, too. That’s a great message from our past that is truly relevant today and will be well into our future.
Have a terrific Tuesday, and thanks for reading.
