From Robert J. Pliska, CRE, CPA  Birmingham (Detroit), Michigan - Investment, residential and commercial real estate has been very trying in the last few years. An area that may help you as a real estate owner, investor and/or broker/advisor is to improve your attitude and your mental psych. A way to do this is to latch on to a few quotes that you feel appropriate to keep your enthusiasm up, provide momentum to get through a crisis, add a little humor to a difficult situation, use to close the next deal, provide impetus for a good return on your investment and any other way you see appropriate.. This has helped many as investment and commercial real estate advisors and owners.  After all, history has shown that many have gone through worse battles than we are experiencing and they found a way to be positive and have the will and perseverance to continue forward and eventually achieve success.
