"When I think back to what came out of the Depression, why would I be pessimistic about now? Maybe we have an opportunity in these hard times to learn those same lessons. Children growing up today [may] have an advantage: They have an opportunity to learn something that no generation since the generations that grew up in the 30’s had a chance to learn, and that is self-reliance, and perseverance, and a certain amount of toughness."
- Malcolm Gladwell
