Can change happen?

We live in strange times. For the past few weeks we’ve been waking up with some dread, expecting another depressing set of economics news, company results or political/global crises. Then comes this morning. I awoke halfway through John McCain’s concession speech then fired up the TV to watch Obama give what I’m sure will go down in history as one of the great speeches of this century.

There will obviously come the torrent of questions as to whether the incredibly powerful rhetoric of the president elect will convert to the reality of change. But it’s hard not to share the optimism that in dark economic times there is hope for something better. Some inspiration for all of us, whatever we are trying to achieve.
