"Where Never is Heard a Discouraging Word..."
March 15, 2011
I would like to quote a section of an article on Inman News that was written by David Fletcher.
"As the story goes, a herd of buffalo stampedes across a wide-open range under a cloudless sky when the herd's leader suddenly stops in his tracks. One of the herd's older members lumbers over to the leader and asks why he stopped.
With his big brown eyes, and deep whispering voice, he turns to his fellow buffalo and says, "I thought I heard a discouraging word."
There are many discouraging words to be found these days, but are we letting them stop us in our tracks? I certainly hope not.
There is many encouraging signs, both locally, nationally and internationally. As horrendous as is the situation in Japan, a Japanese friend of mine said, "It is so wonderful the way the international community has come forward to provide aid and assistance - even China". For her it was encouraging that in spite of ages and ages of animosity between Japan and China, in this hour of dire need, China came to assist.
On a local level, it is encouraging that commerce is picking up and the economy is showing tiny sprouts of growth.
We could listen to discouraging words and stop acting, but it is much better to keep moving in a positive direction. You are not going to hear a discouraging word from this blog.
