Day 10 Financial Statement and the headwaters of change

Following the overview last night on financials, we continued the conversation of Center City University. Burdened with declining enrollment, rising costs and the need to build new programs to be competitive we explored options to fix the $3.0 million hole in the budget. The group enjoyed a wonderful exchange taken from the floor of Parliment with individuals addressing 'the Speaker' and arguing their respective position or the problems related to other positions taken.

The afternoon turned to a deep look inward and the concept of 'immunity to change.'  Turns out out we are immune to change. Big surprise for me. With some careful, introspective work we can find the source of our immunity and break a cycle enabling significant change to happen.

Some words of wisdom from the couple of days:

• It is much more important to have a permanent income than to be fascinating
• Doubts are more cruel than the worst of the truths.  Moliere
• You can never count another person's money and you can never feel another person's pain.
