I see people complaining about the recession, but a couple of years ago the same people were complaining and times were much better. A competent person has few to loose during this crisis, the incompetent ones that took advantage of the good times will suffer. The ones that they always complain.

I completely agree. It’s what separates the winners from the losers. I found this post to be extremely motivating- thank you, David!

There is no doubt that human beings always complain about everything. If it’s right or wrong, they always look for the opportunity to do so.

And of course when a situation pushes us out of our comfort zone, tension appears.

Tension is definitely one of the outcomes of crisis, this is
logical. But I think that a crisis is battled with creativity, not
necessarily with Cannes-winning creativity but with creatives that generate better ideas, ideas that will help grow our business and our customers.

I believe that crisis will always make us more creative than ever and makes us think of things that we had never before imagined.

It’s obvious that crisis generates tension. But this tension should not worry us, it should occupy us.

On a similar note – I’ve noticed a handful of news articles lately about recent college grads and how terrible a time this is to enter the workforce. As you said – to be fair – this is a challenging time, but does challenging always mean terrible? Perhaps the challenging nature of the current economic climate will instill an element of tenacity in recent college grads that will serve them well throughout their careers.

There is surely a connection between necessity and humanity. At a time when the unwieldy variable is the health of our economy, this connection comes to play greatly. The lack of cash in the hands of people causes them to look inward. Personal growth is the unexpected result. Then comes a closer relationship to family and community. The hope for change has been set. Now we deal.

“Is anything alright?”. Kinda, yeah. Resulting innovations will be social by necessity, so it follows, that investing in each other is an obvious opportunity. As painful as change is, this may very well be a cycle of grand opportunity for each of us.

David, I agree. And, how can the grumbling be anything but natural? It is, in part, a way for people to concur imminent change for the good. Let’s just grumble more quickly and accept the accord. We can then move on to a better sense of self.

Something we should remember is to be thankful for what we have right now. It could be a lot worse for most of us. Sure we will and have hit bumps in the road, but for most of us, it is a bump and we’ll get through it. Hopefully we’ll learn a thing or two and take that with us to the next challenge.

I totally agree with you David. Recession or no recession the whiners will keep on whining.
