A case in point is the subprime “crisis.” Why does it have to be a crisis? Is it serious? Yes. Does it have wide-ranging implications? Yes. Are a lot of people affected by financing issues? Yes. Is it solvable? I think so.
“Crisis” is such a strong emotional word – almost a defeatist term. Something so bad, so oppressive that we are doomed. It’s not that bad and it’s not permanent. We can work through it. It’s a challenge, a large speed bump.
“Challenge” mobilizes and motivates us for a solution. “Crisis” perpetuates the issue at hand.
Instead of just talking and talking about the issue – that does nothing to find a solution – let's get creative in looking for an answer.
