Snap Out of It; Global Trade Isn't Going Away

iStock/Thinkstock
One of my favorite classic scenes in the movie Moonstruck is when Loretta (Cher) says to Ronny (Nicolas Cage), "Snap out of it!" (view clip here -- it's toward the end -- nice diversion). Well that scene plays in my head when I say to all the folks who are reporting bad news about global trade:

"Snap out of it!" Global trade isn't going away any time soon.

In the meantime and if you are a glutton for punishment, read more downer news at the NYTimes.com, "Trade and Hard Times."

Love your use of "Snap out of it!"

It is interesting to see how we react differently when times get tough. It is also interesting to watch how the human element comes through businesses.

A good "Snap out of it!" just might do the trick.

Hi, Cindy,

Good to hear from you!

This is a small blip in the grand scheme of things. My attitude (and global entrepreneurial spirit) is to keep moving forward!

Warm regards,
Laurel

P.S And "Moonstruck" ... I've watched it well over a dozen times and still love that scene! Great wake up call for anything in life that knocks the daylights out of you.
