I used to stress out when I was younger and suffered anxiety attacks over it........

Now....I do what I can do........

No point in worrying about the Sheyat I have no control over.........

I get up every day ready to face it all over again.....

For your age...you have achieved much Dan....

I wish I had the courage you have now when I was your age....

Just stay the course and don't ever stop.......

You call it courage, i call it stubborness..

I try to live by the motto, Feel the fear and do it anyway.

I believe that if your inteligent enough to see something clear enough to be concerned/afraid, chances are you can use the same to make it work.

Besides, Cowards never achieve anything, they just berate those that do.
The other thing they do much too proficently, is to tear achievements down cause they are frightened by the achievement, what it means or those that achieved it..

Let me pull this apart some more..

I believe the stress spike would have been from being told we just got screwed out of a multi million dollar contract..

wasnt gonna be worth that to me, but there were 5 of us in the inner circle.

you guys get to hear about my stresses, but it always seems more severe in type than i usually take it in person.
This place is one of my Vent mechanisms, especially so now i dont have a good fast car running, nor the finds to ride my dirtbike.


onto the achievements.

I dont feel that i ahve achieved anything special as yet.

I certianly dont have much to show for my efforts..
I would have to say, the most valuable thing i have taken from my buisness, apart from increased perspective, would be my friends.
That category isnt one i toss about lightly.

As for not ever stopping... I just wish somone would show me where my off button was! i dont think im capable of stopping!

I wonder where this rollercoaster will take me next.

Thanks Ron.


I just gotta ask. How can you drink wine??? I've never tasted ANY wine that I would want to drink more than a sip and most of that I wanted to just spit out.

Gimme a beer.

While i genuinley feel for my friends when they are dowm, i do not take ownership of their suffering.
I'll help if and where possible, but ultimatley i cant own any more problems.. i gots enough..

Sounds a little harsh, but it allows me to still be standing when others are borrowing trouble and bowing under pressure.

BTW the day you let your dreams die, is the day you concede defeat.. you think i would do that?


Im with ya on the Wine brick.. but not the Beer.
