Bad economic times are the best time to start a business
With the stock market dropping over 2% today and almost at a low for the year, economists are starting to say we have entered into recession again (though I know we never came back out for some). It is the down times that can produce the strongest people, and often when powerful businesses are born. Because people have gone out of businesses, there are an increasing number of "holes" in the fabric that can be exploited, and as we come out of recession, some new players will start to emerge. You can be one of them
This was written in during the bad economic times that preceeded World War I. Just think how many people read this and went on to do something amazing. You can too!
(And the only thing that I don't like about this poem is it is written in the masculine, so wanted emphasize to the ladies that there is plenty of "if" for them too!)

If by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son! |
