opportunity

It is not a crisis, it is an opportunity. How many times have we heard that before? It sounds so familiar we might have learnt it by rote in primary school. So then why do we still have so much trouble applying it to our thinking? Yes, it is true that listening to the media leaves you with a feeling that we all need to baton down the hatches, hide our valuables, stock up on tinned food and buy whole drums of gasoline before it is all too late. So maybe we need to stop doing that too.
