The biggest tragedy in America is not the great waste of natural resources-though this is tragic; the biggest tragedy is the waste of human resources because the average person goes to his grave with his music still in him... A quote of Oliver Wendell Holmes Just think, if this was so apparent in the days of Oliver Wendell Holmes; how does it look today? We seem to be hemorrhaging jobs and entrepreneurs but yet there seems to be no end in sight. I feel blessed at this stage of my life to still be able to be positive and also be encouraged that tomorrow will be a better day and yes I still wish upon a star...

Paul: My office is full of the scent of Jasmine tonight so your photo grabbed me instantly. I love that quote by OWH. It sums up my feelings about wasted human resources and makes me grateful that even though I can't carry a tune....I am not afraid to sing!
