We are a people of principle and honor...

This wonderful full-page ad is running in newspapers today. I clipped this one from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

THIS is the USA that I am proud to be a citizen of.

It was paid for by Christy Walton, widow of one of Sam Walton's sons.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Orwell

The thing that drove Dickens forward into a form of art for which he was not really suited, and at the same time caused us to remember him, was simply the fact that he was a moralist, the consciousness of “having something to say.” He is always preaching a sermon, and that is the final secret of his inventiveness. For you can only create if you can care.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1939), “Charles Dickens,” sec. 6, Inside the Whale (1940-03-11)

Futurist Jim Carroll

"Whatever it takes. That has to be your mindset." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Many people seem to be engineered to give up too easily. Pack it in. Move on before the hard work. Never give what it takes. Abandon the effort. Never do what it takes.

The question is - why?

People seem to understand what success requires, yet consistently fail to take the necessary actions.

What's behind this attitude? 

Comfortable complacency. Too many get trapped in what I call the "good enough zone" - where they're just comfortable enough to resist real change, but not successful enough to thrive. This dangerous complacency is like a slow-acting poison in today's rapid-change environment.

A "not-my-problem' attitude. Too many people see the need for change but respond with "not my department" or "not my responsibility." This abandonment of responsibility creates a paradox: everyone sees the problem, but no one takes action.

Fear is the default setting. People are too scared to move and choose inaction as a strategy, mistaking it for prudence. But here's the reality: in 2025, the risk of doing nothing far outweighs the risk of action.

A lack of confidence. A lot of people have convinced themselves they can't adapt or master new realities. They've created their glass ceilings, limiting their potential before even trying.

Here's the stark reality: Success requires more than just knowing what to do - it demands the courage to do it. You need to move beyond understanding to action, beyond planning to execution, beyond fear to calculated risk-taking.

Here's the thought you need to plant in your mind - the future doesn't belong to the smartest or the strongest - it belongs to those willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

So how do you do that?

Here's my list.

**#Persistence** **#Innovation** **#Growth** **#Action** **#Resilience** **#Speed** **#Commitment** **#Excellence** **#Fearless** **#Breakthrough**
