From DREAM, OUT OF THE BOX...GO BIG to REALITY

Over the past decade the "best and brightest???" have told the world that we need to "get out of the box"..think BIG..."have the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM"... and now it is BACK TO COMMON SENSE...and BE SELECTIVE....

I grew up in the GREAT DEPRESSION...THE WAR TO END ALL WARS...THE GOOD TIMES OF POST WORLD WAR II...but have never been a believer that we can SPEND...GO INTO DEBT, USE OTHER People's MONEY and not step back and ask does this make sense.

The headlines are full of DREAMERS who are not rich but poor... Mad off sold a DREAM...and now even the RICH and FAMOUS are suffering... Obama has sold us on A PROMISED LAND.. but even he will find, after January 20 that it all a DREAM...GE's Immelt substituted sound STRATEGIC THINKING with DREAM SESSIONS...

Today... we are all getting a REALITY CHECK... our wealth is not there... and even worse many are not only lost money on paper...but really... Housing values are declining and will reach TRUE value...

But the good news is that we are experiencing the realities that have happened before and like our predecessors...we too will OVER COME...

KEEP THE FAITH... GET BACK TO REALITY and RECOGNIZE THAT EVERYTHING GOES UP, COMES DOWN AND RISES AGAIN...
