Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 99
Hello All,
Another New Year, and time to say a 'thank you' to all our
members for your continuing interest and support. It's easy to feel
daunted by world events and news; but in these times it is more
important than ever for us stay active and optimistic that change
is possible. In fact, as someone once said, There Is No Alternative
(though this time there really isn't).
If you are looking for something new to become involved in this
year, look no further! See the first news item below.
Best wishes for 2019,
John Craythorne, on behalf of Sustainable Crediton

“"What is opportunity, and when does it knock?" It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live, with your self-respect alive and growing.”
Maxwell Maltz (US plastic surgeon, motivational author, and creator of Psycho-Cybernetics)
