<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Amidst the worldly comings and goings, observe how endings become beginnings."</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Laozi (Lao Tzu), 5th century BCE Chinese philosopher.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I began Business Wisdom, Friday September 26, 2008, not certain what I expected to come of it, how long I would do it, or when it would end.<br />
<br />
And now, some 8+ years later with this the 2,119th weekday entry, I still don't know what I expected of it. But I do know the end.<br />
<br />
Today is the last of daily posts, an ending of sorts that will, as Lao Tzu suggested 2,500 years ago, allow me to observe a new beginning.<br />
<br />
I've (most days, not all) enjoyed doing it, in retrospect, even more so if you've read even one post you feel benefited you in some way.<br />
<br />
My wish for you is many endings as satisfying as this one is for me, with many more successful beginnings for us all.<br />

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compared to what he might have done."</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Samuel Johnson, 18th century English writer.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The important question is, <i>why</i> have you not done more than you have?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If your effort was all it could have been you should have few to no regrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But if you didn't do all you could, or worse, never tried, your fate is the "mortifying reflection" suggested by Mr. Johnson.</div>

(You think this pup would agree?)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Temptation comes in many forms and is generally attributable to things not good for us.</div>

(Did you ever hear of anyone resisting the temptation to eat broccoli?)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not certain I've ever gained strength from resisting something I knew I really shouldn't have, but I do know I've later felt better when I did, with the reverse true when I didn't.</div>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses."</span></b></i><br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
William Arthur Ward, 20th century American writer.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While easy to get angry with the person(s) you believe caused the problem, that's just a distraction.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Identify the issue(s) that need correction and move on to the solution. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
If that involves people, so be it, but don't start with that or end with assigning blame.</div>

Mahatma Gandhi, late 19th/early 20th century leader of Indian independence.</div>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand."</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Saint Augustine, 3rd century theologian.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Belief first; understanding will follow and when it does you can then decide what to do with what you now understand.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not before.</div>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Opportunity always looks better going than coming."</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Unknown.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like the horse you didn't expect to win, the one you didn't bet on that actually did.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Or the investment you didn't make and now realize you should have.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The trick is not to identify <i>missed</i> opportunity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You need to identify opportunity before it actually <i>is</i> opportunity.</div>

<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Nothing is irreparable in politics."</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Jean Anouilh, 20th century French playwright.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
True in all forms of politics; office, personal, as well as governance.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The message is, whatever you don't currently approve of won't be around forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You have recourse.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
You can work for change or wait for it, the choice is yours.</div>
