The breaking news of last week was Egypt’s President Mubarak’s resignation. Headlines told of a uprising from the people, a revolution if you will. Apparently their government is one of the most corrupt in the world and Mubarak has been in power for nearly 3 decades. When you hear that their court system is so corrupt that you can pay money to get your case on the court’s agenda, but then whichever side pays the most to the judge wins. Not a very good justice system if you ask me. Living in the U.S.A., we complain about our justice and court system. But after hearing these horrific stories from half way around the world we need to count our blessings. No government is perfect and we all know things could improve. As Egypt looks to have some new constitutional amendments in place within two months, we can all watch their reform and be grateful for the freedoms that many of us take for granted. I have always dreamed of traveling to Egypt to see the pyramids, float down the Nile River and see ancient tombs of mummies. Perhaps someday in the future, I can fulfill my dream. In the meantime, what sort of revolution can you start with your life, business or service group?
