HOPE IS NOT A PLAN

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

HOPE. I like the word. I even like the way it sounds.

Anderson Cooper was telling Oprah Winfrey about talking to a mayor of a storm damaged city. The mayor kept saying, “I had hoped the storm wouldn’t come. I hoped it…. And then Anderson said, “The storm did come and he hadn’t done anything to get ready for it and he wasn’t ready for what followed the storm. Hope is not a plan!"

Hope alone is not going to get it folks. We need a plan!
