If there was ever a time to dare,
to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing,
IT IS NOW.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily. . .
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that's your inspiration,
something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself
to make your days here count.
HAVE FUN.
DIG DEEP.
STRETCH.

DREAM BIG.

Know, though, that things worth doing
seldom come easy.
There will be good days.
And there will be bad days.
There will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up,
and call it quits.
Those times tell you
that you are pushing yourself,
that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

PERSIST.

Because with an idea,
determination,
and the right tools,
you can do great things.
Let your instincts,
your intellect,
and your heart,
guide you.

TRUST.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new
brings the hope of something great,
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Finally, another beautiful and thoughtful voice for the forums.

Keep it up and let's see how quickly the hounds of the General forum turn on you. They are nothing short of rabid.

Please know they are already on your heels.

A breath of fresh air. I stayed off the forums for many months because of a few insufferables. But I missed seeing the occasional gem or two from the gentler folks. Thanks for this thread. Frank is right....the detractors are at your door. But there are others who will appreciate your posts.

I believe this is the ending, underneath. Although I've no idea of the original author, it was a computer advert in the 90's, but it didn't carry this ending....it's primarily what I associate it with but I can't remember the actual name of the computer company...I feel sure there's a message in there for anyone aspiring to a position within PR \ advertising, makes sure the brand is remembered along with the 'message' 😉

Glad to see you've decided to suffer the insufferables.

We need more gems and fewer stones. 😉

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones.

Which reminds me, diamonds are only lumps of coal that have been under pressure for awhile.
