Good News Worth Sharing, Read On:
Daily the media reminds all of us of ‘chicken little’ and creates a kind of negative do-loop that doesn’t recognize the hard-working people in the US, UK, China, Japan, Asia, Europe, etc. that are paying their bills, managing their money, paying their taxes, and are being asked to bail out the “experts” who marketed mortgages to people who never should have “qualified” for them in the first place.
It may not be easy but these are the ones the media isn’t congratulating. So this is a congratulations I’d like to share with you, some real good news, that, if shared side by side with the negative stuff the media spews out, would dwarf the bad stuff.
The problem with the media is it doesn’t know how to report good things. It doesn’t know how to balance a story. It exists to shock and awe you in order to sell advertising. Plain and simple.
Actually, it’s time for some good news. Enjoy this breath of fresh air:
7 out of 8 homes in America are being paid for by hard-working people who qualified for the mortgage they have and continue to pay.
90% of adult Americans are employed.
Car dealers in China sold 25% more cars in February vs. January, or 1.56 million cars.
Car dealers in the U.S. sold 1.35 million cars in February (which has only 28 days in it).
That’s 48,214 cars sold every day of February
or…
2,009 per hour for 24 hours all month long
or…
33 cars every minute of the day
or…
just over 1 car sold every two minutes for 24 hours for the entire month
Hold on…there’s more.
Honda’s sales in China are up 16% vs. a year ago as its government introduced a tax cut on new vehicle purchases.
GM, Toyota, VW and others forecast good demand in Asia.
G’ day…
94.8% of adult Australians are employed.
What? no soup lines there…
91% of adult Europeans (across the entire European Union) are employed.
But the real story is not negative, it’s positive. It’s about honest people who make the world go round. That’s you and I. Copy this into your email, friend networks, and blogs, share this with at least 10 of your fellow hard-working friends. The real news is hard to come by.
And keep up the good work.
