The Coming New Day: Who's Got The Rocket On Their Back?


"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage."

Friedrich Nietzsche
19th century German philosopher


These are certainly times of resistance, pain and torture are they not?

No matter if you are working for someone else, working in your own company, attempting to start a company or unemployed looking for work, your will is being challenged, possibly more so than ever before.


However note that Mr. Nietzsche did not say our will to succeed is proved only by our ability to endure but as well by our ability to turn adversity to advantage.

How about you; enduring only or getting ready to go on offense as well?

  1. Based on a few of these posts, we've begun to look for ways to take advantage of what will be the new order of things as the economy begins to improve.

    I don't know what we will come up with but the fact that we are even trying is improvement for us.
