In honor of the 2009 passing of the great movie producer John Hughes…
Mathew Broderick preached wisely to the audience in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, when he turned to the camera and preached, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Amid the current economic turmoil, these words may have more meaning today than when the movie was released. Hunkering down has its place, but so to does smelling the roses when they are in bloom.
