Opportunities. If you look forward with optimism then you will always identify great opportunities. The future is always ahead of you and what you do with that is up to each one of us.

I always recall the story that back about 1900 the head of the US Patent Office felt they should close the office as nothing more could be invented. Would he not be astounded at what has happened in the world from then to now — that was a future! We have to keep in mind that our futures are going to be a result of the generations that follow us.

This is one reason that the education of our youth is so important. They help determine our futures! So as you reflect in this US Thanksgiving holiday time look forward and create your future plan. You will be then be part of the solution and our future growth.

“Each new day presents us with the opportunity to live as though we never live before. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is promisory. Live today. That’s all you’ve got. (written July 9, 2001)” - Babatunde A Fajimi
