Bravery is not necessarily about heroism. For most of us being brave can be as simple as making that call that says “I made a mistake” or “I 
care”. It is the small things in our life that challenge us everyday and begin to pile up, presenting over time a physiological obstacle that appears daunting. One step at time, or one brave action begins to clear the deck for you and positively impacts all the people in your life at work and at home. Our being brave aligns our world, so that it works for us and the people close to us. So, “What is the bravest thing I can do today” is a worthwhile question to ask yourself each every morning.

“Harriet Beecher Stowe.” Ohio Historical Center Archives Library. Call Number MSS0116 Box 106.
POSITIVELY POWERFUL: When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

During the holidays “Slumdog Millionaire” was given national distribution, which means that I finally got to see it. I, like many others, endured the lines to get into the multiplex but most people were there to see the new Clint Eastwood film, Gran Torino or the many other Hollywood Christmas releases. Slumdog is a special film and I hope more people get to see it. It certainly has all the 2009 award buzz. There is lots to like about this movie, from the colorful scenes, the use of subtitles and the way the story is told. It is a world, unfamiliar to me, trapped inside a love story that is both entertaining and beautiful. It explores some of the history of this part of the world which has dominated the news recently. Made me curious and thankful for my own blessing. This is a big screen movie so don’t wait until DVD.

Today the the Detroit big three made their plea for funding at hearings before the US Congress. One of the things that has been repeated continuously is how foreign automakers have been able to survive making cars that everyone whats. This is a short sighted viewpoint, in that there is very little mention of the difficulties that these same auto companies are experiencing at home and the measures they need to take to save their businesses.
Honda is cutting jobs in Great Britain and Japan because of plunging auto demand, Japan’s second-biggest automaker
That the Detroit manufactures products that are poorly made vs that of their Japanese counterparts.
Nissan Motor Co said Thursday it will recall nearly 430,000 vehicles worldwide, some with faulty braking lamps and others with ill-connected cables that could stall an engine.
That the problems stemmed from Detroit’s fascination with SUV and Pickups. However sales of new cars in the UK fell in November by 36.8% on the previous year, to 100,333 vehicles, the biggest monthly drop in 28 years.Not many SUV and Pickup sold over there.
German new car sales would drop in 2008 to “the weakest level since
reunification” of eastern and western Germany in 1990, the federation said. A total of 233,800 new cars were registered in November, the fourth month running of falling sales.
The truth may be more in line with that it is easy to point fingers once the unexpected happens. The CEO’s from Detroit on the other end of those pointed fingers, all looked like “Deer in Headlights”, they seem not to know what hit them. It was a 
look I remember seeing on Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling’s face once Enron began to crumble.
For certain there has been a lack of leadership in the auto industry-leaders anticipate the unexpected.

to be right. People can break up relationships to be right. They can be dead wrong driving on the highway wanting to be right. They will deny themselves the riches they deserve in life, to be right about “how wrong they are.”
