“Progress consists of change.”
Dec 20th, 2005 by Don Ray
I receive an email message from Panda Software usually everyday. I started receiving these messages when I downloaded the Panda software to try as my virus software. It was this software that corrupted my PC and caused me a have to rebuild it. While I would never use this software again, I have kept the daily messages because they alert me to new virus outbreaks and potential vulnerabilities.
Each email that Panda sends out begins with a quotation from some famous person in history. These quotations are supposed to be thought provoking. Not long ago I received an email containing this as its lead-in.
Progress consists of change.”
Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936); Spanish philosopher and writer.
It struck me that this email was extremely timely. Last year, I spent my Christmas all alone and wondering what the future might bring. The only thing I knew was that “change” was in the wind. I made up my mind last Christmas to have 2005 be a better year than 2004. This year I find myself no longer in the cool Boquete area, but in an area that I have found to be more consistent with my personality. I enter 2006 extremely happy.
David is a great place to live, with wonderful people and easy access to everything I need. What a wonderful change from 2004. I hope that 2006 continues in the same progressive direction.
I have friends in Panama and they tell me they don’t like David. I don’t like it very much myself. (Been in the area several times over the past 2 years.) What kind of personality is required to like it? Am I missing something?
