Regarding Abraham Lincoln's ideas of lawyers and lying:

Regarding the "job future bleak in the NEAR term":

You can be defeatist if you want; those who maintain the attitude
of perseverence will get, and keep, jobs in times like this. I
recently quit my job (well-paying and secure despite my own
inefficient production). Why? Because I refuse to believe in
the economic downturn. In a year I expect to be able to
hire my first employee, and more thereafter. The last thing
this country needs right now is people who "give in" to the
idea that an economic downturn is cause for personal woe.

A bleak job future is bleak only for those who believe it is.
I refuse to believe it, and by the grace of God, I'll prove it over
the next year. I encourage you to do the same, not to give
up so easily. Be strong; keep going. You have no job? Create
one.

-Jared
