Just do it
Future forward. The best way to get a gauge on the future is to look at your grandchildren or other young folks if you have none of the former. What is critical for these young people who do represent our future is education and a strong set of values instilled in them by parents and the community in which they live. They will reinvent the future, much as we and previous generations have done so. It is imperative that we take hold of the current economy and get it back on track. As I say to small business owners “how do you stand up above the crowd?” after a pause and a blank look from many of them, I state “just stand up the rest of the world is sitting on their butt waiting for something to happen!”. I want everyone to stand up and take whatever actions they can to start and get the ship righted and move us forward. We need to re-create the environment that will allow the young folks to make things happen and move the world ahead. Let’s just do it!
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
