The Abilities Expo…Rule#8

We’ve always been a country full of optimists.  But over the last few years, as the rise of China and other emerging markets, it feels like we’ve been beat up.  Sure, we’re in a fragile economy and our governments both federal and local are in debt up to our eyeballs.  But I believe we are still the “Can-Do” country that millions have immigrated to for hundreds of years, including my family.

I saw evidence of this wonderful attitude that we Americans have in our DNA as I was driving down the highway and noticed the following billboard:

A sign for the Abilities Expo.  The Abilities Expo!  Not the conference for people with disabilities.  But the Abilities expo!  This is awesome!  I love this country because we believe in people.  In ourselves. No one can keep us down.  This is the secret sauce – the positive attitude – that turns the tsunami of challenges into new opportunities.  Our ability to find the good, the opportunity in the challenges.  To focus on the good stuff (Rule#8).
