Lessons For An Optimist - Signs of Hope
May 4, 2009
Last week I was on the road to NYC for a media event and Freeport, Maine to visit our store. It was great to get out and see how spring was shaping up and I have to say the warm weather seems to be injecting some enthusiasm and hope that the worst is behind us.A couple of thoughts come to mind about where we are as May begins.
Resilience - It was nice to see our population not flinch as the 24/7 media (and our Vice President) tried to scare us with the swine flu story. I was in packed airports and airplanes all week and lived to tell about it.
Growing Confidence - We may not be completely out of the woods yet but it is noteworthy that the stock market has steadily increased in the last month. It appears the first 100 days of our new Administration have established the potential of our country’s economic future in green technology and alternative fuels.
Opportunity - How about a 50:1 Kentucky Derby winner that comes from last to first in the final turn. Score one for the “anything is possible if you dream big” category!
