Thomas Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 You can only surmise what it may be like till it happens. Life really is a gamble to a large effect, We are all born ( No matter how Rich, Poor, what ever Class? ) with a hand of cards. It is up to us how we play that hand. Some Tricks we win, Some we lose. Decisions can go both ways and 9/10 times we make the wrong decision, this is where the real test of life comes in. How we deal with the Outcome of a bad decision. The man that has never made a mistake in his life is either a Lier or he has done Nothing with his life. 9 of 10 wrong ??!! IF so you have to be a bad card player :) Some wize man said (roughly translated) : Stupid people don't learn by own misstakes. Clever people learn by own misstakes. Wize people learn by other's misstakes. I prefer the last :lol: ((But I'm a gambler, like the thrill, so AFTER checking what other people have done, I take CALCULATED risks. I like challenges too, so if most people say something is impossible, then I check if I think it CAN be possible, and if it can, then I - try to :) - do it , If I wouldn't like challenges, I probably wouldn't plan to start a company in Phils :mocking: BUT an other reason is it would be nice if I manage to build a company, which my wife and kids can live ok of after I'm gone. A third reason is if work can be offered in the family business, then the kids don't need University/College exams, so no cost needed for that :dance: IF several in family-in-law need work, I PERHAPS will try to solve it by assist them starting and build an OWN business. (No big investment.) IF they mess up, I can use that as argument when discussing assistance... :) (But the presumtive father-in-law has been promoted to section boss rather fast (in building) so if someone of them has skill for economy, they have good chance to succeed, if they get start capital enough to be small contractor.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post i am bob Posted January 17, 2015 Popular Post Posted January 17, 2015 My sister was unlucky in love... The men in her past all turned out to be bad choices... Until a few years ago. She met a man at work and it was a reasonably short engagement followed by 2 years of her being the happiest I have ever known her to be. He doted on her! He passed away after 2 years of marriage from pancreatic cancer. What we didn't know was that they were aware of the cancer when he first proposed... When asked if the 2 years were worth the suffering, she has a one word reply... Yes!!! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
