The world<\/a> is steadily advancing. And it’s thanks to people<\/a> like you and me. We are the ones who make the wheels of science<\/a> and technology<\/a> go round and round. Yes, a lot rides with us.<\/p>\n

Today, millions of people are still looking for a job. Are you one of them? Did you ever wonder why the Acronym of Just Over Broke is JOB?<\/p>\n

Be a little different. Be innovative. Invent something new. Improve something. Market<\/a> someone’s else’s product. Build better systems. And make lots of money it the process too. Pick up a product from the supermarket and ask yourself “can I improve this?” If\u00a0yes, do it. If not, ask yourself, “can I market this?”<\/p>\n

Remember the old saying “build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.” Of course, it won’t be easy! It will require lots of trials and errors. It will require the power of resilience. It will require being able to get up again when you have been knocked down. And most of all, it will involve taking risks. Remember to take “calculated risks.” Don’t risk being foolish.<\/p>\n

When you succeed in making the world a better place, you can then help some of those millions of people to get a job.<\/p>\n
