The Competition

This story to me shows the value of a ‘can do’ attitude. A strategy many people use when a big chain store moves in is to try to get their local government to pass some ordinance that hinders them or to try to tax them out or some other such useless garbage. Instead of running around like a chicken with his head cut off complaining, this man figures out a strategy to deal with it and commences on it even before the store opens. This is an attitude everybody should look at and admire. A man not afraid of a little competition and willing to take it on. I salute him!

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931)
