A Perfect Pear

In the midst of all this doom and gloom being reported all over the place about the economy; I ran across a rather inspiring story.

What I learned from this story is that, even in the middle of drastic change and turmoil — perseverance and positive thinking; (coupled with wise risk management and proper research, of course); can produce wonderful results.

If you’re in business or trying to start a business.. or even thinking that being in business for yourself is something you’re interested in — do not allow the nay-sayers to thwart you from your dreams. Do not close a blind eye to the obvious challenges that are before us, at this time either. Yet, do not allow them to dictate negative reactions and/or thinking in you.

You too can have a Perfect Pear!

NY Times – A Perfect Pear

Eventually I came to appreciate that the people I met ate and drank only what they grew — what they had. Their genius was taking whatever they could grow and making something wonderful out of it. Poor land that could only support goats led to chevre. Undrinkable ugni blanc wine led to cognac. Small, crummy apples in Normandy led to Calvados. And so on.

Eventually I learned that the Williams pear, which the French, Swiss and Germans made into the fantastic Williams pear schnapps, or eau de vie of poire williams, was the same as our Bartlett pear.
