Here is a super video that captures the essence of one of life's major lessons - Optimism!  Thanks goes to Gerald for passing on to me. There is no quicker way to eliminate progress and leaders than to develop a 'woe is me' attitude.  I love Les Brown's line, "If you get knocked down, land on your back because if you can look up, you can get up!"  Optimism is contagious! Sadly, so is pessimism.  What are you infecting your friends and family with?  Optimism or pessimism?  The choice is all your's, the results are miles apart.  Enjoy the video.

I have watched this video several times and am impressed by how quickly Margaret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of England) responded to the criticism of a socialist member of parliament.  Freedom, by its definition will lead to inequality of results because people are not all equally gifted/willing to work.  If you allow freedom of action, some will struggle, others will survive, and some will thrive.  The key is that in a free enterprise system, the thrivers lift the tide for all the boats on the water.  No one can deny that Henry Ford made cars more affordable for all Americans, not just the wealthy.  Michael Dell made computers affordable for all Americans not just a select few.  Bill Gates made working a computer easier for all Americans not just a chosen few.  When you stop the front of the train, you naturally stop the caboose as well.  Mrs. Thatcher's answer to the gap in incomes is a classic and irrefutable.  If the poorest in a country averaged 25k per year and the wealthiest 50k - the gap is 25k between the wealthiest and poorest.  If free enterprise boost the top to 200k and the bottom to 50k in the same value dollars, all have benefited.  The poorest families have doubled their incomes and the top producers have quadrupled their incomes.  Who would argue that this is bad for society?  Everyone is living better and enjoying the fruit of their efforts. 

The socialist would decry that the gap has now advanced to 200k-50k = 150k.  The gap may have widened, but the benefits of the rising tide have lifted all ships.  The gap should widen as people's work ethic and talent differ across the spectrum of people.  Inequality is a given in life.  Some are tall, some are small.  Some are fast, some are slow.  Some are hard workers, others choose not to be.  If you demanded equality of results, then you would require force to slow down the front of the train.  Winston Churchill said, "Socialism is the equal sharing of misery."  America needs to wake up to the reality and stop swallowing the lies of socialism.  Thomas Jefferson said, "America will be an Aristocracy of Achievement."  Let freedom reign!

Happy July 4th weekend everybody!  What a great nation we are blessed to live in.  I love America's National Anthem.  I love this video about its creation also!  Francis Scott Key penned the National Anthem during the war of 1812 against the English.  On this July 4th, while eating your hot dogs, hamburgers, etc with friends, remember to thank our God for all of the brave men and women who sacrificed to give us our freedoms.  This video quotes George Washington saying, "A Christian soldier will die on his feet rather than live on his knees."  Amen to that!  Freedom is worth sacrificing for. Enjoy the video. God Bless, Orrin Woodward
