			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Good News Worth Sharing, Read On:</strong></p>
<p>Daily the media reminds all of us of &#8216;chicken little&#8217; and creates a kind of negative do-loop that doesn&#8217;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 &#8220;experts&#8221; who marketed mortgages to people who never should have &#8220;qualified&#8221; for them in the first place.</p>
<p>It may not be easy but these are the ones the media isn&#8217;t congratulating. So this is a congratulations I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>The problem with the media is it doesn&#8217;t know how to report good things. It doesn&#8217;t know how to balance a story. It exists to shock and awe you in order to sell advertising. Plain and simple.</p>
<p>Actually, it&#8217;s time for some good news. Enjoy this breath of fresh air:</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>90% of adult Americans are employed.</p>
<p>Car dealers in China sold 25% more cars in February vs. January, or 1.56 million cars.</p>
<p>Car dealers in the U.S. sold 1.35 million cars in February (which has only 28 days in it).<br />
That&#8217;s 48,214 cars sold every day of February<br />
or&#8230;<br />
2,009 per hour for 24 hours all month long<br />
or&#8230;<br />
33 cars every minute of the day<br />
or&#8230;<br />
just over 1 car sold every two minutes for 24 hours for the entire month</p>
<p>Hold on&#8230;there&#8217;s more.</p>
<p>Honda&#8217;s sales in China are up 16% vs. a year ago as its government introduced a tax cut on new vehicle purchases.<br />
GM, Toyota, VW and others forecast good demand in Asia.</p>
<p>G&#8217; day&#8230;</p>
<p>94.8% of adult Australians are employed.</p>
<p>What? no soup lines there&#8230;</p>
<p>91% of adult Europeans (across the entire European Union) are employed.</p>
<p>But the real story is not negative, it&#8217;s positive. It&#8217;s about honest people who make the world go round. That&#8217;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.</p>
<p>And keep up the good work.</p>
