My analysis, "What am I missing", was written to hear oppositions point of view.

September 17, 2007

Mexican Trucks Begin Deliveries Beyond U.S. Border | www.bloomberg.com

Dear Council Members, the reason for my analysis, 'What am I missing," was written to hear oppositions opinions. As a forty-year-old businessman, I can honestly state, I have a very old school mentality. As an Italian American, you better believe I have an abundance of arrogance, but as a human being, I'm smart enough to understand, that my abilities in business just didn't happen, I'm not biblical, but I'm smart enough to know that I was given a blessing from God. With this blessing comes a humbleness. Are my opinions always right? No! My opinion of old school means, if you believe in something, you then state your opinion and if someone else’s opinion makes more sense, your then  humble enough to admit you were wrong. If someone disagrees with you, but aren’t willing to give his or her opinion, then how do you know your belief is incorrect?

I realize I can beat a dead horse, but what am I missing?
