Dear Person of the Year!

Dear Joe,

I am pretty new at this Community and all what I know about you is amazing, but near all of that -already has been mentioned in all previous posts here. I have something new to add, about one more occasion in which you are also special.

As a new member I have received a lot of invitations and parallel also I was  B O M B E D  with private messages.

YOUR INVITATION IS TOTAL DIFFERENT. I didn`t feel attack from your side. It is voice of gentle person, of one who may become very good friend. I hope you don`t mind if I post it here, because a lot of can be learned from it.

Joe

And, that was your LAST message!!!!

You are not occasionally Person of the Year. You deserve this and any other honor and respect.

Without your invitation and response, I think I could leave Adland in first few hours.

You are the best example how to attract confidence and partnership.

CONGRATULATIONS and BIG THANK YOU!

"Hello Fun, how is Joe?"

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following your dream with such a passion that gave you the strength, wisdom and fortitude to overcome all challenges in order to create this community... that allows thousands of people from around this great planet to be someone special...  Adlanders!"   

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much
bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye.

He then began to sob and walked away.

My friends, I wish you enough!
