A day does not go by, lately, that I do not hear someone bemoaning the state of the economy. Lay-offs, downsizing, investments losing upward of 25% their value, blah, blah, blah.
Michael Ledeen tells readers that they should think of the brave Navy SEAL, who put the note below on his hospital room's door, whenever we want to complain about our own aches and pains.
I think you should think of that brave Sailor when you look at the economy and begin a litany of moaning and whining about money.
Push yourself to your absolute physical limit and then push yourself "20% further through sheer mental tenacity". If this man can be this optomistic while he recovers from wounds received on the field of battle, you can do him the honor of being optimistic while you're safe in your own home.
Let your own home be a place of "fun, otpimism, and intense repid regrowth."
Thank you
Blackfive for alerting us to this brave American.
