Hi Boyd,

I'm flattered you might think I actually designed my life - and I guess from the post I wrote (which is 100% true - though slightly embellished) ...that's the way it appears... but I can't claim credit for taking that "leap" when, in fact, I was rather pushed out the window...

Your post about "refusing to lose" is something many of us can relate to. I think our "mind-set" is the key ingredient to our success. I am a very stubborn man. And I have refused to give up, even when faced with insurmountable odds.

My stubbornness runs very deeply. It could be likened to forging fine steel over an open fire. I've been hammered. I've been bent out of shape. I've even been cut very deeply... but I haven't been broken.

As Michael says:

An immigrant comes to this country with nothing (and usually not having had all these extras) and worries about the basics. He then invests in himself.

Allegorically speaking, creating a business and moving it into a profitable position is similar to immigrants moving into an unfamiliar land to eventually create successful lives.

Having "faith" in ourselves is a wise investment.

Best Regards,
Steve MacLellan
