Hello dear friends, What do you think of these quotes about risk-taking? "There are 100 men seeking security to one able man who is willing to risk his fortune." -- J. Paul Getty "Don't "take care", take a risk!" -- Denis Waitley "Dare to risk public criticism." -- Mary Kay Ash "If the creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck, he surely meant us to stick it out." -- Arthur Koestler

I'll tell you what I think. I think it is the same propaganda that was crammed down MY throat at a vulnerable time, which has now made fat cats even fatter, and I am now without my unemployment any more, jobless, crippled with arthritis, and MAD that they got 2,000 out of me which would have helped me survive for the next two months. I even earned 1,000 for my sponsor, with my one up, and I offered to GIVE him that download guy, with HIS potential one up, if he would just at least let me have back my 1,000 commision money. Forget about getting anyathing back from the company. He STILL gained from me, after all. All he ever said was, "You are not trying hard enough" translate to mean..."You are not spending enough money on "Our" advertising products." I am trying to appeal to his integrity, but of course, to no avail. Live and learn. I've got a new gig now that is not so devious and pretentious. Anyone want to know the business that burned me, just send me a PM.

Linda, These quotes are excellent. I can personally relate to the following quote as In the past months John Elliott and I have gone through severe criticism to say the least. And actually, still do. "Dare to risk public criticism" Well, we soon came to learn that even bad publicity is good publicity and all this severe criticm did nothing but to catapult us into being a presence to the entire internet. Also Linda, your forums, links, etc. have been a most wonderful help to me with TheCorner4Women, so I must also thank you for your wonderful posts. I am learning so very much. A brand new world my friend!
