FEAR about Indybank, Fannie Mae, and a the New Great Depression?

By
Mortgage and Lending with Residential Home Loans NMLS/CA-DBO #1117018

With all this news of bank closures such as Indybank and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have huge losses we can easily give into fear and say the sky is falling.

 

This is just a normal cycle that we see every decade even with the crazy sub prime market, there has always been ups and downs. We cannot let fear take hold of our spirit and stop being one of the greatest and most resilient nations on earth.

 

Here are some quotes about fear:

 

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Author: Mark Twain

 

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world. 
Author:   Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. 

Author:  Franklin D. Roosevelt

 

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live. 

Author:  George Bernard Shaw

 

Our doubts are traitors,

And make us lose the good we oft might win

By fearing to attempt. 

Author:  William Shakespeare

 

I do not fear failure. I only fear the "slowing up" of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, "Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?" 

Author:  George S. Patton

 

To overcome fear, we must have hope and determination.

  

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.  Author:  Dale Carnegie

 

Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours 

Author:  Swedish Proverb

  

Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Author: God

Mike,

Something needs to be done to shore up the banking industry.

It should have been done last year, but we`re asleep at the wheel..
