It’s a time I like to share some special thoughts. My space is quite limited, and I’m sorry to say NO Ronnie’s Real World this month . It’s a time of appreciation here at WorldWide ; that of saying thanks to our customers, sub- scribers, contributing writers, consultants, associations (international, national, state, and local), printer, valued friendships, and of course, I would be remiss if I did not extend my personal, humble thank-you to this wonderful Team of WWDR family members that bring it all together. WorldWide has worked for the past 13 years with many associations worldwide to help our industry grow and prosper. That’s an important part of what we do. If some don’t know, WorldWide has ventured out to provide educational interactive sem- inars on real down-to-earth topics that have proven for the past two years to be a great hit at many events. Don’t hesitate to call - we will be happy to provide one for your event. Most companies just produce their product, employees take their paychecks, and look for yet another job because they don’t really care. NOT true of the WWDR Team. They live, breathe, and dedicate themselves to ensure they do the very best they can for you. Why just yesterday, one member told me they came in here not knowing anything about drilling and now find them- self noticing everything involving drilling and researching and enjoying doing that even on their time off. A wise person once told me many years ago, “When you find that certain field, you won’t be happy anywhere else. It becomes a part of you.” Thus it is with us here at WorldWide Drilling Resource, Inc. Can’t help ourselves, love you all and the industry. Now, take some time to love your customers, families, and friends during this special time of year... It’s Christmas ! A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD! Ronnie, Managing Publisher ronnie@worldwidedrillingresource.com With pen (computer) in hand... See you on the trail! We’ll be the ones with the smiles! And a “Positive” Attitude!
