The Blessing From the 2009 Depression

The credit crunch was a blessing.  I’m grateful for it every day, and the opportunity that the new economy presents is amazing, wonderful and American.

A big part of me thinks that we were exposed for not working hard, for enjoying the fruits of a life we had yet to earn, and that the reason we’re in the mess we’re in is because we’ve gotten away from what makes us American.

Work a little harder.

Spend more time on the details.

Deliver faster.

Serve More.

Give more.

Think more, help more.

Not blame more, want more.

This is an opportunity to relearn a national work ethic that won two world wars, got us through a depression, etc.

Just a thought for a Superbowl Sunday.

For my part, I’ll be working harder and smarter than as many people as I can.
