Bonjour Peter, Great article. I refuse to understand the word "failure." Don't want to give it the time of day. Wasn't always like that. When I was younger I was very shy and lacked self- confidence in a big way, and therefore had a negative attitude and always thought that others would succeed and that I wasn't as good as them. I'm still very shy and have to battle with that every day, but I'm gaining self-confidence (with the more I learn). So I can connect with your article and wholeheartedly back it up. Attitude, confidence, education and me. A ttitude -- positive (failure? What's that?) C onfidence -- working on it every day as I learn E ducation -- I'm a teacher and am thirsty for knowledge (we never stop learning) You notice that spells ACE which is number ONE. One has to develop one's own attitude, confidence and education so that one can lead oneself to success. Once one is successful, one can help others to be successful in every sense of the word, and to continue one's own path to a fuller success. The gate at the end of that path keeps moving further up the mountain. There is no end to that path. Well, I'll stop going on now. You sparked off my brain cells this morning Peter!
