My husband had been in oil and gas for 20 years. One of the things that I distinctly remember the O&G Fraud attorney said of him after extensive interviews (that could put us both in harm's way for selling out all of the thieving POS that have been ripping off millions for many MANY years. He pursued my husband for months begging for his help to put these people behind bars. My husband always refused because he feared for our safety. It wasn't until I told him that HE MUST do the right thing, that WE would be ok because our karma is good that he agreed to help out.), "You know after all the interviews I have done with everyone in this business NO ONE had a singular negative thing to say about your husband."
... and no one who ever speaks truth will be able to.
Money is a necessary evil.
It may not make the world go round but love DONT pay the rent.
As for assassinating someone else's character just because it makes the assassinator feel superior, that is sorta tacky.
But then again, I suppose that we are all guilty of behavior that we aren't particularly proud of.
For those of you who think that you would judge someone based purely on their likability and not be impressed by someone's success... you guys are sorta fibbing, that is, not unless YOU have traveled in those circles on a regular basis. I mean, what is there to be impressed about insofar as wealth when YOU have achieved the same? After you have achieved a certain level of success, the bar will be raised. It will be then alone that others will no longer be able to impress you with *stuff* but by WHO THEY ARE ALONE.
I think that Ms HeatherRae quoted an excellent maxim. It is now one of my favorites.
"Men are best measured like trees, when they are fallen."
.... think on that.
A man has to be a tree first, before he can fall.
my tree has fallen a few times. the first was the hardest when i was discharged from the navy after 12 years of service with disability. took me a long while to pick the tree back up. but i like the quote from the rocky balboa movie.
"its not how hard you get hit, its how you get hit and keep getting back up"
thats me all the way. knock me down and i will come back a better person and not fault you for it. but instead learn from it and become a better person.
i started my new job yesterday and also today. im not used to working when i want and where i want, its just that kind of job. but do not take advantage of the freedom i have been given. it is a gift to be able to work the way i want to work. tomorrow i have nothing to do. will i take off? no.... im going right back to the place i was at today and getting more people on the right path in their financial future.
i have not earned the right to brag about this new job. it has been given to me by luck and experience. i knew someone who got me in but i stayed in because of my experience. i got knocked down too many times to just give up. i will not accept failure on my part.
you and your husband have given me the confidence i needed in those two short days i hung out with you both. i try and make the best out of any situation that presents itself. the more i talked and listened to you both let me know that no matter how bad life gets, it gets better if your keep fighting. never give up no matter what. i have all the confidence that you will be soon reunited with your children. if anybody has heart and dedication to a cause, its the both of you. i listen a whole lot when i meet people. i try and see things from their perspective and realize im not the only one who has been knocked down and got back up.
you know there should be background music to what i just wrote... lol
