Bank Prez: Outlook Not So Bleak After All
To the editor,
After everything that’s happened in the financial world during this past year, the $700 billion question is simple — what’s next?
During these times of paralyzing uncertainty I’m reminded of an Alan Kay quote: “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
It’s important to remember that tomorrow is still being invented and, even in the face of major events in the financial world, people continue to work today to invent a better tomorrow.
Across the globe, business and world leaders continue to work towards an effective resolution to these rough financial times. What makes me more optimistic is the way so many local businesses that have provided quality personal service over the years are now working creatively to invent a better future for themselves, rather than just “waiting it out.”
They continue to adopt new approaches to better serve their clients. Regardless of how many headlines are published about market downturns, nonprofits, community groups, and individual volunteers also continue towards their goals, giving of time and treasure to help invent a better tomorrow.
These local businesses and nonprofits are truly among the most valuable assets of any community and have earned our continued support.
I especially like this season because it allows us to reflect on the past and inspires us to focus on the future.
In the year to come, I hope everyone finds the inspiration that comes from establishing new goals and the courage to continue to pursue them, even in the face of adversity.
Here’s to inventing a successful tomorrow.
