I have been using this word quite often during the past couple of months, whilst discussing, writing about the recession. And it feels great that a person whom I admire professionally has made a telling statement.
Mr. Deepak Parekh tells the builders ensure a price correction & you will sell; else soon there won’t be any buyers for these buildings that will be white elephants. (Business India Chat Zone December 14, 2008)
Everything is a correction on Life’s Great Wheel: what is up right now will at some point be down, and what’s down rigt now (including moods) will be up again.
Or, as another philosopher said, tell yourself: this too shall pass.
If you’re feeling down in the dumps, it’ll help you hold on. If you’re feeling euphoric, it’ll help keep your feet on the ground.
Wishing everyone a happier 2009, either way.
