March 2008,
Message from the President...

It's a contemplative time of the year. The hard work of 2007 is behind us, and, as is an adjuster’s lot, the uncertainty of the future is ahead of us. It's generally time to take stock of what we've achieved and to look forward to the upcoming year. We have no control over the number or intensity of the storms ahead. We have no way of knowing where in the world the storms will take us. So we wait, and ponder. What is the best we can do for ourselves as we contemplate the future?  A positive attitude and the continuous effort to improve our knowledge and hone our skills will carry us forward. We can all be winners with the right attitude.

The Winner - is always part of the answer

The Loser - always part of the problem

The Winner - always has a program

The Loser - always has an excuse

The Winner - says "let me do it for you"

The Loser - says "that's not my job"

The Winner - sees an answer to every problem

The Loser - sees a problem for every answer

The Winner - sees a green near every sand trap

The Loser - sees two or three sand traps near every green

The Winner - says "it may be difficult but it's possible"

The Loser - says "it may be possible but it's too difficult"

– John Assaraf

BE A WINNER in 2008

Believe in yourself, commit yourself to staying proactive and learning new or sharpening old skills, and maintain a positive attitude.

I wish YOU a Winner's year!

Angelo Cassanese
