People power

I read the paper in the morning (online albeit) and drink my coffee just like millions of Americans. And while I read, like many, I wonder what can we believe in during this economic mess? Well, the answer is fairly straightforward, we can believe in ourselves. While looking back through some very old papers that I had in my newspaper bin I found this column by David Brooks written on August 2nd. It spoke to America's need to improve human capital. Meaning we need to improve ourselves and our skills. The column went on to be quite divisive at which point I tuned out, but the overarching message seemed to be right on. Each of us has the ability to improve ourselves. And we should because that's where real change happens.
