Words of encouragement: Calvin Coolidge said it best

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

O: Great quote.

As I am in sales, I have a phrase I use when people ask me how I am doing..."Just trying to make it happen".

Over the next couple of days and weeks, George W. has to make something happen.

Great people have been known to make mediocre statements; mediocre people sometimes make great, inspiring statements. The latter is an excellent example.

This is not just about revenge. I am sure that retribution will come. It is about reflecting on the tragic events, learning from their occurence and moving on.

While I have not suffered a personal loss, I feel the loss of my business colleagues and friendly competitors. I acknowledge that they are gone. "Payback is a bitch" as the homeboys used to say. We also have to rebuild and proceed with" business as usual".

Best regards,
"Othello"
