Thanks Gordon.... Working towards goals greater than ourselves....

Hi Gordon,

I think this is a good place.... But it's nothing without everyone else.... :)

The warmth of Sowpub really lies in the people who come here....

I've learned a LOT from the visitors here.... Both by reading posts, and also through email "behind the scenes".... I'm astonished at the wealth of experience we all have collectively....

But Gordon, I'm no fool.... I know your charisma is also a large part of why the Seeds of Wisdom forum is so successful.... So Gordon I'd like to thank YOU big time.... :)

I'm grateful that I met you in person, and I hope that there might be another opportunity again some day.... I hope perhaps one day I can show you around Australia.... :)

I'd like to give my own big personal thanks to Gordon, and to Julie, Sandy, Elizabeth, Michael, Bob, Rick, Mike Rodman, Mike Moore, Richard Dennis, Richard Myers, Boyd, Jim Straw, Jim Hargadon, Amber, Thomas, Dan, Linda, Paul, Ricky, Taylor, Richard Vaughan, Diane, Jason, Steve, John, Amber, Simon, Tom, Bruce, Ron, Marty.... and there's more too.... Sorry to those I couldn't fit....

Gordon, that's a very true and wonderful reminder.... :)

Thanks Gordon.... These things are, in fact, more important and greater than marketing....

I personally believe it is good to work towards a higher purpose than simply personal wealth.... What is more important, I feel, is what do you do with the wealth you do have? Wealth in material things, and also wealth in knowledge and abilities, what goals will you use them towards? That's where true greatness lies....

It could be to help your family, or to help others in need.... Those are some of my own long term goals....

It is a very personal question, but I know that many of us here are working towards goals much greater than ourselves.... It just fits the personalities that we see here.... :)
