"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."
-Anonymous
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."
-Abraham Lincoln
"If you don't like change, you're going to like irrelevance even less." -General Eric Shinseki (Chief of Staff, US Army)
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."
-John F. Kennedy
Lets give our new president a chance. I can't know the future; he most certainly could be the biggest political disappointment of our generation. I am not over my cynicism of politicians and their unique capacity to lie and corrupt their power. However, our idealogical and better, hopeful side of self should atleast give this guy a second look. You cannot deny he is the most intelligent, eloquent, idealogical, inspiring, collected, brilliant president to get elected (by a landslide, I should add) in decades. He deserves a chance. Let's give it to him.
