| You don't want a pyrrhic victory. Nor do you want a symbolic success. It really doesn't matter if other people think you are doing well or badly. The question is simply, 'Are you getting what you need?' You know what it is that you need. Don't be diverted from an important objective by a distracting drama or misled by a mesmerising temptation. Stick with what you have started and you will yet manage to reach the best possible destination today, this week, this month, this year and onwards. Never mind what other folk think. What do you think matters the most? Live THAT! |

I'd like to say +1 to what Darren said, but I think maybe now I should make that +2?
Or is that +3?
+4?
(somebody please help me...)

I've just narrated a book by Czeslaw Milosz - so you can't fool me with your ten-bob words Mr. Multiple Financial Institutions!
Well said, though.

I'm handing Philip a Golden Nugget coin.
Sorry, I can't get Faffcon out of my system.

Welcome. |
Thanks for the Welcome.
I've been lurking for a year and I think it's time I get moving in a positive direction.
Have a great day!

i actually talked-out-loud "pyrrhic" in a narration last week ... i found it so odd that the word appeared in my scope twice in seven days that i've given up on this voice over business for good.
