Guy Kawasaki: Connection Through Reciprocation
-
0:03 - 0:05Invoke reciprocation
-
0:05 - 0:11This is a carpet that depicts
the battle between Italy and -
0:11 - 0:16Ethiopia because Italy invaded
Ethiopia in the 1930s. -
0:16 - 0:19When that invasion occurred,
-
0:20 - 0:23the people of Mexico
donated money and -
0:23 - 0:26sent it to the
people of Ethiopia. -
0:26 - 0:29Something like 80 years later,
-
0:30 - 0:32Mexico had this horrendous
series of earthquakes, -
0:32 - 0:35lots of dead people, lots
of injury, lots of suffering. -
0:36 - 0:39The people of Ethiopia, even
though they were in a famine, -
0:39 - 0:42collected money and sent
money to Mexico because they -
0:42 - 0:47felt the necessary
obligation to reciprocate. -
0:47 - 0:49Fast forward a few years.
-
0:51 - 0:56About right after the Civil War, the
people of Charleston, South Carolina, -
0:56 - 0:59were using bucket
brigades to fight fires. -
0:59 - 1:03The people of New York, including
Union soldiers, heard about this. -
1:03 - 1:08And they donated money to buy the
city of Charleston a fire truck. -
1:09 - 1:12That first fire truck was
on a boat that sank. -
1:12 - 1:13So they had to raise
money again and -
1:13 - 1:18send another fire
truck to Charleston. -
1:19 - 1:22Fast forward to
right after 09/11. -
1:22 - 1:25The people of Charleston raised
over half a million dollars to -
1:25 - 1:29buy a fire truck for the people of
New York because the people of -
1:29 - 1:32Charleston pledged that if
New York ever needed its help, -
1:32 - 1:35it would come through,
135 years later. -
1:36 - 1:40Reciprocation is a
very powerful force -
1:40 - 1:42to make your
enchantment endure.
