Perhaps you missed some opportunity in Perth, but you are so insightful at your very young age that I am certain your past was just the launch pad for the great things ahead of you. Everyone has regrets about some past choice(s) they made, and with the 20/20 vision of hindsight sees how they might how made better decisions. The thing you must remember is that life is a learning laboratory, and you are a quick study. Perhaps you really didn't miss an opportunity in Perth; perhaps it was always your destiny to leave there and make your mark elsewhere. Forget about the negative people who want to rain on your parade. Hateful commentary is generated by jealous, insecure, and destructive individuals who would like to be able to do what you are doing but lack the talent or courage to do so. Instead they live their mean-spirited lives as snipers. I recently heard an interview with a wonderful writer who was asked how he handles venemous reviews from book critics. He acknowledged that he finds such reviews hurtful, then he noted that a particular reviewer who rips his work to shreds writes similarly vicious negative reviews of the works of other highly acclaimed writers. I believe the poison pen literary critic is a jealous and vengeful wannabe. See people like that for the small beings that they are; and if you are going to allow them to generate any emotional response in you, let it be pity rather than pain.

I have started a blog journal to keep track of my year of change and also to use as a whip if I am lazy in changing my bad habits.

You can't ever expect to become wealthy if you're sitting waiting for someone to hand it to you. Great post keep up the great writing.

Althoguh I enjoy your thoughtfulness, I don't often leave comments - good or bad. But this time, I'm leaving my comment because I have something to say about particularly failure. I think failure sometimes is necessary for our personal growth. I like what Havelock Ellis said about failure: "It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success." Even genius Albert Einstein said: "Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value." In fact, I wrote a blog about "What is success?" http://www.lifecrisisguide.com/blog/2008/02/04/what-is-success/ It might be of interest to you. Don't forget to leave your comment if you have any. Regarding "being ignored", I'm being ignored all the time. I take it as "Well, it's your loss. I offer my ________ (e.g. friendship) and you do not accept it. It's your loss." Well, actually, I figured it out that some people are just not comfortable responding to strangers. The world is so big and so small. Their life may be just too busy to entertain every person. To keep it short, you're a thoughtful blogger. Keep up the good work man! Never lose heart. Your time will come! Hey, there are always people who make more money than we do. Look at those old monkeys in Hong Kong (where I work and live) sitting all day long in a stock brokerage trading arena. These people don't have work. If any, their work is trading stocks everyday! hahahaha ... I'm sure some make some good money out of it... but then there also are some (maybe themselves too) who lose money back to the market. It's a win and lose cycle. OK, good job! Amos _________________________ http://www.lifecrisisguide.com/ Hey Peter,
