It won’t be long and we will be saying 2010 in conversation and printing it out on forms and documents. Looking back over these last 12 months brings both happy and sad memories. I suppose it would not hurt to say that there may also be a few that elicit a little anger. But, never the less, those days have come and passed. To be fair I would say that many Americans can probably sympathize when it comes to telling our stories. Truly I am once again amazed and proud to be an American.
Even with all the ongoing drama and last minute thrashing by our Government to help jump start our economy and show sense of urgency, we as a nation have remained united and civilized. Recently, I have even seen people stopping to help other ...

Why Veterans Day is so important. |

Today is one of the first days that I find myself at a lost for words. Not words for the sake of saying what is on my mind, but the correct words to express what I feel. Ugly, violent, and self destructive words may get your attention, but to be honest, they still would not serve good use to portray the message of this post. When reason or sense of focus fails to find you, then you must set out to find them.
As a veteran I am proud, I am honored, and I am sad. I am sad of the tragedy that has hit our military, and has struck pain in our nation. Am I mad? Yes I am. But I will not let myself become consumed by the rush of anger and the build up of negative emotion. I have decided that I will not give another minute of my life thinking about one individual ...

Hello again, I know it has been a while since my last feed, but I wanted to take time to get involved with what’s really affecting a lot of people right now. It has been increasingly difficult to put politics aside, especially with the amount of involvement from the U.S. government. Big banks are already paying off the TARP loans, and now that they are back on their feet, they seem to be forgetting about the little people, which of course, is us. Many of the big banks have only modified 5-15% of mortgages that are eligible. And t ...

A Return to Customer Service! |

As promised, I am returning to the subject of customer service. Another important part and necessity for customer service is to honor what you promise. I would doubt that anyone has never been let down or disappointed at sometime in their live. Especially if at a point of crossroads, because what someone had promised and failed to honor. I think that American society has lost some credibility by failing to live up to promises made to itself and to others in the world. Where has this value gone? The best example I can give is the following copy of a letter that I recently mailed off. I think you will find the letter serious and honest and a pretty good example of a company so far failing to honor what they promised.&l ...

What are you willing to risk to climb to the top? |

Fame, fortune and power. What are you seeking and what price are you willing to pay to achieve one or all? Are they worth sacrificing friendships, or a relationship? Are they true products of being successful in America? A conversation came up about the recent sex scandals of U.S. politicians and high rate of divorces among celebrities. Mix in the corporate grudges plotting Ceo against Ceo and you have a enough trash to headline any magazine for a month. The big question is if it is worth it or not.

What Happened to Customer Service? |

We all know that life is kind of weird right now. Some of us are trying to keep our job, some are seeking employment, and maybe there are even a few who are sitting on a park bench just looking up at the sky. Big businesses are hiring marketing professionals, accountants, and other myriads of specialists who can figure out why sales are not coming back up, and neither are the customers. As business after business look at their competitors, both locally and abroad, they all are wondering who will figure the mystery out first. I can even imagine some super computers in a lab spinning away with computations of Pi and other scientific calculations that maybe only 1% of 1% of the entire population could even understand. And waiting eagerly are the specialists ready to divulge the elusive secret of why sales are still down.

It’s not the only the sun that’s getting hotter every day and inflamed. Many American home owners, and unemployed citizens are becoming more irritated in the delays in mortgage modifications and the promised creation of new jobs. I am glad to see though, that society has remained calm, and peaceful. Companies like Ford have restructured and reinvented themselves, and recently surpassed
