Steve Young speaks on economy

What a truly great message for all of us...these are time when the "pros show up." I will share this with my family and my co-workers.

Its easy to get worried or frustrated or affected by adversity directly or indirectly. But, this message is perfect for all of us. Find a new skill, learn a way to be better, work through adversity, don't let fear paralyze you. Don't take anything for granted. Just work every day to make a difference.

It's time for every day "pros" to step up to the task and make a difference. That's what makes America great - each of us working every day to make a difference.

Everybody thinks they are an economist.

This was a motivational speech, for which Young is well qualified to deliver. It was not, as the headline implies, a presentation on the economy, on which I would question his expertise. That being said, his counsel is good.

Young made great parallels from football to the economy. it was a speech that you can easily pss along to a co-worker or even a family member. I liked how he spoke so highly of Utah. You don't to many famous people doing that these days.

I went to this conference and I really appreciated Young's analysis of football and the economy. I think we all could use a boost these days. I think the term "muddying through" is perfect. Right now our economy is a big muddy mess. He made a lot of great points about both the economy and real life.

I also agree with Junkie in that it's nice to hear "famous people" talk positive about Utah. Utah has lots of great things to offer.

For some people life is always good.

I especially liked Steve's wife's political philosophy!

Way to go Steve!
