The oil and gas development business is up 50% over last year. And your restaurant business is up 70% in profits over last year because of the cost-cutting measures you did. And the accountant said, Ed, how do you explain that? We're in the middle of one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression. And Ed said, yeah, I know. I just chose not to participate. That's what it comes down to.

The bumblebee, for decades, aeronautic scientists analyzed the bumblebee and said, we know, based on all known aeronautical facts, that the bumblebee, based on the weight and size of its body, aerodynamic shape, and the size of its itty bitty wingspan, cannot fly. The bumblebee doesn't know that, so it flies anyway. Look, when your attitude's right, the facts don't count.

Because what most people think are facts are people's opinions anyway. Henry Ford said it best. Whether you think you can or if you think you can't, either way, you're right. John D. Rockefeller said, in every adversity, and this was quoted by Napoleon Hill in the book Think and Grow Rich, but it came from J.D. Rockefeller. He said, in every adversity are the seeds of a greater benefit.

I look at every adversity as a gift and I pop the champagne. But they wanted to say, but I don't drink it because I'm a Baptist. But it's true. Look, everything you're talking about, I have no idea what's going on in the world. Because the world is my world that I create. I create my own world. So think about this.

If you didn't know who the president was, if you didn't know what party dominated or controlled Congress, if you didn't know what laws were passing, if you didn't pay any attention to that, you were just going on with your business, how does any of that affect you? It's in such a minor way, you just adapt and improvise anyway.

But your life is not going to be affected in any major way by any of those things, but it is going to be affected in a major way by you, by your thinking, and by your actions. I was talking about this one time on a radio show, and the arrogant woman who was interviewing me said, So you think you can do anything with a positive attitude.

And I said, no, actually, you can't do anything with a positive attitude. But you can do everything better than if you have a negative attitude. Amen to that. So Zig Ziglar, one of the greatest motivational speakers of all time and a good friend of mine, he passed away. We used to travel together. He said, it's your attitude, not your aptitude that will determine your altitude in life.

It's how you look at the situation. I'll give you one more quick story. Zig Ziglar and Ed tell the story about what happened. And it was actually Zig when he was speaking at the Chamber of Commerce meeting in Detroit, in Detroit, Michigan. This is when the big three automakers were it.

And he was sitting up there at the head table going to give a positive motivational speech to the Chamber of Commerce people. And he turned to the guy who was sitting to his right and he said, hey, how are things going with you? And he says, oh, terrible. It's the worst economic situation I've ever seen. He said, Zig, don't you realize that Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler are all on strike?
