kirkland? writing the name of the person that you are talking with, or to, is the right way to do it because that way there will be no confusion.
Lol, my fault and I blame it to my poor English, I meant to say the rugrats that he has and I waesn't calling him a rugrat hahahahaahah....... Ponce <-------dumb Cuban ouchhhhhhhh.
You know kirklnad? we all have high hopes for "our" kids and we all want the best for them and want them to have a good education and either be rich or the president of the US... we never really know what the future holds for anyone and many have no choice but to go where the wind blows.
I for one only went to the 10th grade and my dad was greatly dissapointed because he wanted me to go to Georgia Tech like he did (mechanical and electric engineer)... I have been good and I have been bad.....but......that's ok because I am only human and humans area the ones that make the world go around, if everything was just perfect we would all be dead and in Valhalla (Heaven).

There will be plenty of time for worry or no time at all if or when things get real bad. Either way, things aren't bad for me or mine now so I give God my thanks for his blessings. All I can do is all I can do, so why waste a second more in fear, worry or depression?
A good read is the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. You can read an online edition for free. Especially read the chapter The Six Ghost of Fear. (Chapter #15) You must be logged in to see this link. |

Ardent? do you know how I began to make my money?......very simply......I read "The Richest Man In Babylon" and I followed the golden rule which was....pay yourself first 10% of ALL your earnings.
I was lucky that I was able to save about 75% and not only the 10% that the book wanted.
Some people may say "I cannot save 10% because I have to many expences" I am talking about someone who earns $175,000 a year......but then.....how about the guy who only earns $50,000 or the one with only $40,000?........numbers are only a figure in your head (the same way what with the dollar) get rid of that mental block and you will do ok. |

| Thank you Ardent for sharing Think and Grow Rich. I have the audio tape by Earl Nightingale. Excellent for easy listening. I offer You must be logged in to see this link. for Napoleon Hill's story in his own words of how he got the information for the book. The research that has gone into the mental aspects of personal performance enhancement is . . . well, it's all a good read and wonderful search. Many who endulge in this pursute often claim how they wished it would have been taught to them when they were in public school. Nuff said. |

| I think I will reply again yet, but maybe another poster will add it with more elegant words. I'll hold off a bit. |

Making money is easy but holding onto it is the hard part.....for some people.
Everywhere that I look I see ways to make money...is only a matter of finding out what people need or wants and then give it to them in a form that they can afford......simply ask yourselves "What do people use all the time?".......and is not a six feet flat tv screen.
Better to sell 100 items at one dollar than 5 items at twenty dollars because you will sell a hell of a lot more items at a dollar......I am the living proof of it. |
