WE don't know? NOBODY knows? YOU might know more than you think.

My word of wisdom for the day...

I have been admonished by a person for posting a negative message. I want to apologize if that's how it was received. I guess I feel like a "bad teacher" who is saying: Alexandra! I think you can do better than that! Don't talk about "we" and "nobody" (please). I am impressed by you. You are a good thinker.

Tell me about your ideas. I think you have good ones. Let us hear more of your ideas. Please.
