Post-Independence Day Quote Blog: Happy belated birthday, America.

In honor of yesterday’s 235th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we bring you a thought-provoking quote from U.S. President Barack Obama:

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

In other words, be your own agent of change. Carry this message with you in your personal life and in your career as a reminder that you cannot just sit idly by and wait for things to get better; you have to get your hands dirty and get involved. So take a risk and speak up for the changes that are important in your life; as President Obama would say, “yes you can.”
