People are looking for stability in a shaky world. They want something they can get hold of that's firm and sure and an anchor in the midst of all of this instability in which they're living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.
You want stability in the world, you have to start with values.
People are looking for certainty. The more complex the world becomes, the more people look for people to give them certainty and tell them what to do. During the past few years of actively thinking about this, there is one thing that I have accepted: certainty is not out there. There is not one strategy to follow, and that's OK.
There is a deep-felt desire among the people to stand firmly together in dealing with the challenges of the future.
People are always looking for something new and something to latch on to and to back something from an early stage.
People are rapidly losing hope and trust. They believe their government has been captured by special interests and no longer cares about them, and they are right.
As discomfiting as it is to both market optimists and policy activists, a certain amount of instability is inherent to the economy.
It's our vanity that makes us think that what forms part of our world today must be stable and secure.
One reason why upturns follow downturns is that downturns tend to overshoot. People get panicky, they're afraid to stay the course, so they start selling. The other thing is that I think, as entrepreneurs keep on waiting to produce new things, that there's an accumulation of as-yet-unexploited new ideas that keeps mounting up.
Stability is not the way of the world.
