Change, in general, is not something that majority of us humans like to do, in the first place.
Making the changes to positively alter a perspective is not easy, by any means. It is all in the hands of the one who would like to have a better outlook on their daily life, to make that change. It is very well possible for one to alter one’s perspective. Many believe that it is not humanly possible, to alter their perspective. No one will ever build statues to critics, including Negative Nancy.Every person who walks this Earth has his or her own perspective. Teddy Roosevelt is forever enshrined on Mt. Allocating $25 million for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in DC is just so vital to beating this global epidemic.Īs we debate looking for the positive versus being Gloomy Gus or Debbie Downer, we know two things for certain: Forget about producing products we use or compensating our employees. “How dare” anyone suggest thoughtful consideration of those who work and thrive in our world-best economy?Īnd now the little corona virus bugger has replaced the planet - at least for now - as the single most priority. Until recently, climate change dominated. The word “balance” seemingly does not exist in ivory towers on campuses, the deep state or in some media empires. To them the USA needs to redistribute the pie, not expand it to offer more pieces for everyone. Hope is knowing we didn’t have control in the first place.” - Rolling Stones lead guitarist Ronnie Wood.Īlmost DailyBrett believes there are more than a few, who have major problems with the United States and its world’s largest gross domestic product (GDP) at $21.99 trillion (prior to the impact of the Corona virus, COVID-19). “Hope is knowing that we never have to be alone again. “Hope is knowing no matter how afraid we are, our higher power will be with us. “Hope is knowing that this too shall pass. “Hope is believing good will come, even in bad times. It’s so easy to hunker down and to shut down for the “common good.” It’s harder to dream again, and to express hope. With our economic freedom maintained, we can choose who and how much to support. It takes compassion to swipe our credit card at our local coffee place, order books online from our regional bookseller, call for take out at our favorite Italian place. Volatility will eventually be tamed, most likely not now.
It takes moxy to purchase shares of best-in-breed stocks (i.e., Apple, Microsoft, Nike, NVIDIA, McDonalds, Starbucks …) as the markets refuse for weeks to stretch two or more positive trading days in a row. It takes courage to stand up in front of this wall of negativity and suggest that life may be better sooner … much sooner … as opposed to later. President Donald Trump speaks during a Fox News “virtual town hall” event on the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak with members of the coronavirus task force in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, U.S., March 24, 2020. Some day we will standing in line for the barista, waiting for our beer or wine, actually ordering our food to a table in a restaurant … our hearts thumping with thousands of others, anticipating the first guitar riff or standing up for the kickoff. We are not eternally condemned to the boredom of our living rooms. We need more of those, who dare to suggest with credibility that yes life will get better. The credit belongs to those who are in the arena. If not, the media will happily tell us how our loving optimist-in-chief somehow failed in the face of continued darkness.Īnd yet his approval rating continues to rise, and his score for handling the corona virus reaches 60 percent thumbs up against 38 percent thumbs down.Īs Teddy Roosevelt (pardon the paraphrase from heaven, POTUS #26) told us in his famous 1910 speech to the students at Paris’ Sorbonne, it’s not Gloomy Gus or Negative Nancy who counts, or how the strong man or woman stumbles or how she or he could have done better. Will we have a national resurrection by Easter Sunday, April 12? Maybe? Most likely, not? We need to balance our justified health concerns with our economic hopes. We need to envision and more importantly, credibly and practically project better times in the future. Let them focus on the fact that we again slept at dawn. From a public relations and mass communications standpoint, we need to leave the past - most of all recriminations - to the mass media.
