Obama Takes It To The Banks
The Obama administration released a plan to unfreeze credit by helping struggling banks to rid themselves of bad loans through a one to two trillion dollar purchase to stimulate economic activity. The news caused in a huge stock rally, though it cooled down on as all the info released in the presidential address started to take root and settle in. The initial shock and hesitancy should wear off as the pieces start to fall in place in the Presidents plan.
The President and his administration have plans to change financial regulations including such plans as greater government regulation and even in some cases to take over financial companies who are in danger of collapsing and causing chaos throughout the entire system, such as the controversial AIG. President Obama continues to stress the importance of helping companies such as AIG in order to build the economy up and stop the bleeding. If Insurance coverage and lending cease it would destroy what is an already faltering economic system.
The nations greater needs take precedence over continuing the focus on the recent bonus scandals that have been encircling such companies. President Barack Obama has urged the Nation to turn their attention to the bigger picture rather than focus on executive bonuses. While he has demonstrated outrage over this himself, he sites continued micro-attention on it as a distraction from the crisis at hand.
Obama stated that his administration is working on all angles of this crisis as we have seen through recent task forces designed to stop just this sort of behavior. He reiterated one part of his economic plan saying that its a strategy to create jobs, to help responsible homeowners, and to restart lending. This will help grow our economy over a period of time.
The president remains positive despite the worst economic crisis we’ve faced in over 25 years, but reminds Americans with his usual directness that it will take some time. It will also take composure and it will take an understanding that when we work together, when each of us looks beyond our own short term benefits to the wider set of obligations we have to each other, thats when we shall succeed.
I have Attitude, and I like it!
As a professional, the attitude you have says more about you than any word you could ever utter. Attitude takes on many forms. Your attitude toward work, your attitude toward your life, your attitude towards those whom you associate with (e.g. friends, family, co-workers), and perhaps most important of all, your attitude towards yourself.
The way you view work will ultimately have a huge impact on your happiness and the level of success you achieve from it. Work can be many things to many different people from the corporate employee, to the self-employed, to a sales associate at a local convenience store. The type of work is not really important as the point is the same, and that is that your attitude matters. Do you despise your work, do you absolutely adore work, or is it just another job? Determining where you stand is pretty easy to do, but search deeper and determine the reason behind why you have the attitude you do. Is it something that you can control? If yes, then change it, and if the answer is no, then change yourself anyways. If you aren’t happy with your situation you can only change yourself. Determine a goal and go obtain it. Develop a plan and seek it out with all that you have. Regardless of the outcome, when you earnestly strive to make something better of yourself and your situation, whatever that may be, your attitude will change with you, and you will feel a sense of pride, dignity, and self-worth.
The same principle, that you can only change yourself and your attitude, will help in your relationships with your friends, family, and co-workers and ultimately the way you view yourself and your sense of pride in knowing who you are and your value. By recognizing within yourself the things that can be approached differently in your relationships with others, you will also gain satisfaction in knowing you have made the effort and have done your part to become better than you ever thought possible. This attitude will change your life for the better. As other people see and notice a change within you, you may notice them start to find it within themselves to change their own attitudes as well.
So regardless of the situation, remember that your attitude says it all. Only you can make the choice to change and try something new. You might find it was the best choice you ever made.
