I have been reading the economic predictions for the future.  It appears challenges continue to lie ahead.  A jobless recovery and even "the recovery" itself is going to be flat or a bit of a continuing roller coaster.  So what is - may remain for sometime to come (years).   What are we to do?  Giving up is not an option.  We have got to figure out how to make this work in spite of the challenges. Certainly there will be pockets of growth.  Other sectors will feel a continuing decline.  If there ever was a time to be thinking - now is the time.  It won't be easy.  Capital will be very difficult to come by.  But everyone is really in the same boat.  And most boats have been battered and have taken on water.  So think and do.  This is probably the economic world we have for some time to come.  Let's make the best of it.  Think and do!
