If... you worked your dream job, would you be happy?
If... you had all the money you thought you needed, would you be happy?
If...you were married to the love of your life, would you be happy?
If...you were President of the United States, could you do a better job?
If...you were in command of the troops in Iraq, would you pull them out?

Dr. Benjamin Mays
Dr. Benjamin Mays was the President of Morehouse College and a mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he attended Morehouse College.
It was Dr. Mays who said, "Life is serious business, and we must be about the business of taking care of our own business, because no one is going to take care of our business for us with our best interest in mind."
If... we want things to change for us, we need to start looking in the mirror and seeing the person who's going to have to get involved in making change.
If... we are not about the business of making things better for ourselves and our children, we had better realize that no one else is interested.
If... you have never read it before, the scripture says....we are to leave an inheritance to our children's, children.
If... we don't stop this immediate gratification syndrome, our children's, children will still be fighting the same battles of civil and economic injustice.

IF
The word "if" has only two letters and when pronounced has only one syllable, yet is one of the most powerful words in our vocabulary.
For us it becomes a powerful and critical word.
If... we could unite our financial resources
If... we could work together
If... we could trust one another
If... we could respect one another
If... we could curtail out of wedlock birth
If... we could get a handle on HIV among our youth
If... we realized who we were
If... we realized we are the richest group of blacks in the world
If... we learned to turn our money over in our own community
If... we realized by helping one another we help ourselves
If... we could create Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma we could create Black Wall Street in every major city in the U.S.
