Speedy deletion nomination of George P. Gundlach


A tag has been placed on George P. Gundlach, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. bonadea contributions talk 12:06, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Need I ask if you have you ever had to say to yourself, “Stay Calm!”?

Rudy Giuliani in his book Leadership records his own internal conversation in the minutes following the beginning of 9/11 attack. “Make yourself calmer than you feel, force yourself to pretend you're calm and you'll be able to figure out how to get out of there if you remain calm. So I kept reminding myself of that. I was in charge, I was the person they were looking to and if I lost it they all would. I would have to say to myself, 'You've got to remain calm, you've got to stay focused.'”

The other day, at dinner with several other couples, I learned that each was experiencing less peace then in the past and that each one was trying, as Giuliani put it to “remain calm…stay focused.” Fortunately, the focus of these couples was on what was going right and on what they could control.

I am reassured to know that in the cycle of entering storms, being in storms and coming out of storms that storms end. Commentator Mathew Henry has said “After a storm comes calm”.

So what do Rudy Giuliani, couples at dinner and Mathew Henry teach me these times? •	Stay calm. •	Focus on what is going well and what you can control. •	Have hope knowing that all storms end in calm.

Seasoned advice from a mayor, married couples and a Theologian, all who have walked through difficult days.
