What's New Today - January 20, 2008

For the benefit of non-DPS Class 67 members, I am re-posting two recent posts made in our e-group by Ed and Rudy. Ed's post is the Speech of John Gokongwei, Jr., the 81-year old patriarch of the Gokongwei business conglomerate, before the Ad Congress last November 2007. Hopefully, this speech can inspire a lot of people to do their best. The other post consists of letters to God written by little children. The collection of letters is titled "You gotta love kids". You'll love the pure honesty and innocence of kids. So, here they are and Happy Reading.
