I feel welcomed here *bowing*!<BR/><BR/>"Oh no, I may start blushing again. Thanks." - lol :)! Don't mention it!<BR/><BR/>"Thanks. Yes, I have always ascribed to the belief that we can teach ourselves the fundamentals better than anyone else, the rest is life experience. When the two come together, it makes a delicious soup." - absolutely! Absolutely! I am proud of having such a friend :D! <BR/><BR/>"Oh Max, it WAS an exciting project and responsibility and I have noticed that I have been blessed with love, self-realization and memory so I won't forget such gifts." - amen to that :D! <BR/><BR/>"That is very true. The creative people want to be creative, but they need the business people to put their creations in the right hands. We hear so many stories of how business managers rip off their clients. It is very hard to find the balance sometimes, but it is greatly needed." - and many managers who rip off their bosses too *nodding*. You are right, although needed balance is hard to find in the business world. <BR/><BR/>"I also think dreams have a built in timer. They are only meant to last for a specified time period to give us the experience; especially in the arts. There are so many good singers, actors, dancers that seem to disappear after a relatively short time. Then they are replaced with others and the whole process starts all over again." - yes, true. And many times the good ones are replaced by bad ones (sometimes awful ones too). It could be said that dreams are the catalyst and then "real life perspective" must step in... <BR/><BR/>"I just opened my eyes and ears and let the characters parade before me. There is always something to write about." - :D I can relate, darling! Humans are fascinating, and their stories are amazing (even when they are sad ones...it seems to me that there is always magical behind them, know what I mean?). <BR/><BR/>"WOW. All that praise for me???? I don't know if I will be the same now. My head is swollen like a Macy's balloon. Okay, not THAT big. Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind and heart-felt compliment." - LOL and you are funny too LOL! You are welcome, but I only spoke my opinion of you (which is high, obviously lol). <BR/><BR/>"You are right. Although I have heard that it is never too late to start, even if circumstances may have changed. That's when we can alter our dreams, but still pursue them." - yes, I have heard that one too; but when we look at it closely...it is not the same dream that has been fulfilled, it is the dream of having done something (that offered the thrill of accomplishment) that has been fulfilled. Know what I'm saying? But perhaps you are right...<BR/><BR/>"Bravo! That is the key to plan. A story needs a good outline before it becomes a story. Structure in anything." - Thanks :D! Amen to that, girl! Amen to that!<BR/><BR/>"Thanks again. Sending you love and kisses and a great appreciation of your friendship. :D" - You're welcome *bowing*! Oooh, so sweet: merci, darling *grabbing all the love and kisses*! Now I will put your appreciation in my heart...thanks :D!<BR/><BR/>Friendship CheersMaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12588149349270422294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055176677823781877.post-61288852890912060572008-09-30T22:57:00.000-07:002008-09-30T22:57:00.000-07:00I think the most successful people are the ones wh...I think the most successful people are the ones who take chances.<BR/>I would throw caution to the wind.UBERMOUTHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15428848028109037855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055176677823781877.post-28149417892721867102008-09-30T11:06:00.000-07:002008-09-30T11:06:00.000-07:00Hi Max,<br><br>Always nice to see your smiling fac...Hi Max,<BR/><BR/>Always nice to see your smiling face. :D<BR/> <BR/>"I read this article twice: that is how great a read it is *bowing*!"<BR/><BR/>Oh no, I may start blushing again.

And this thought is particularly applied by mystics (because the path is a lonely one, but it comes a time when you need a teacher, a master, and when you are ready to have one, when you are mature enough to listen to his advice and follow his teachings, then it is when he will be placed in your life). <BR/><BR/>"I had just graduated at the top of my class from the autodidactic school of journalism." - autodidactic...you studied journalism by yourself? Well done!!!<BR/><BR/>What an exciting project you were involved in, Alexys :D!!! Have you noticed that Love is always following & alluring you? :)<BR/>You did well to listen to your Guide. Steve did like you!<BR/><BR/>Now, I would like to share my thoughts on why I believe Steve's dream didn't last long: he needed a good financial manager (one that shared his dreamed but kept an eye on the money, and defended it with his own life). Every business needs a dreamer, a financial manager, a good & honest accountant, creative writers/editors, diligent employees and so forth...there must be a balance: people who dream supported by those who (although believing in the project) keep their feet on the ground (this is the perfect recipe for a business to thrive). <BR/><BR/>Steven was a good chap,a little naïve, and that is why he got robbed (what a misfortune): but this happens a lot in small businesses. <BR/><BR/>I liked the way you researched to write your pieces on relationships and used a bit of imagination too: another perfect recipe :D! You may not believe this but this article offered a glimpse at your soul...you are a fantastic person, darling!<BR/><BR/>"Do you think you need experience to cultivate your dreams or do you think you should just throw caution to the wind and just do it?" - I think that sometimes we just need to throw caution to the wind and just do it. Many times we wait to have experience before doing what we would really like and then time passes by so fast, that it becomes a little bit too late to start.<BR/>I'd say do it! But do it with a plan. If you don't have a good plan, then you won't go far. Once you have a good plan in hand, girl...you can do anything you want; and if you fail...rise from the ashes and re-start (cause crisis are natural events in business, but one must never quit - when one really loves what he's doing). <BR/><BR/>Fantastic article *standing ovation*!
