The reason I wanted to post a reply here, as well as emailing, is to point out the above sentences. That attitude is a winner's attitude. I really believe that success has more to do with perseverance than anything else.

The late Irving stone spent a lifetime writing novelized biographies of men such as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, Sigmund Freud, and Charles Darwin. Stone was once asked if he had found a thread that runs through the lives of exceptional people. He said,

"They are beaten over the head, knocked down, vilified, and for years they get nowhere. But every time they're knocked down they stand up. You cannot destroy these people. And at the end of their lives they've accomplished some modest part of what they set out to do."

Keep that attitude, Donna, it's a winning one.
Good luck, and I'll be in touch by email. : )

Sincerely,
Linda
