Unbelievable

Today I heard one of the more positive speakers I've heard in some time. And he used a device that can be trite, but he made it work.

The old "how are you today" asked to a crowded room.

When Vince Puente of Dallas' Southwest Office Systems asked the group at the North Dallas Chamber this morning, "How are you?" he was at first greeted with the usual mumbles and random "OK," "fine" and so one.

The real answer was "unbelievable."

As they used to say on The Family Feud, "good answer!"

It sounds very positive but could also mean other things. I'm having an unbelievably bad day or an unbelievably good day. At least it can mostly be construed as positive.

Thanks, Vince, for starting the day off right.

Relentless
