"If you had two coins that looked exactly alike, one of them being genuine, the other counterfeit, how could you tell them apart? Well expert coin collectors tell us that you can toss them on a table. The coin that doesn’t bounce is counterfeit. And the coin that bounces is the real thing. The changes that we have to make in life are very similar to that test. And when an adjustment has to be made, you can tell the value of a person by their bounce. The people who do not possess real worth do not adjust and bounce back." -Wade Younger from the keynote talk, "Change, Challenge and Innovations."				A Rare Appearance in Charlotte
