As pre-suppositions go it's right up there with the best in my opinion. We all 'fail' on a daily basis. I failed this morning by putting the bread in the toaster but forgetting to turn it on and also by foregtting my phone was still on silent. I guess I'll get over both.

As good as it is, it can be a nuisance sometimes. There are some real idiots on message boards who go out of their way to pull others people to bits. And I know their comments can be hurtful, but you've got to feel sorry for them if that is how they chose to live their lives. Thanks Joanne - that's a great lesson to teach your children and inspire them not to give up. Hi JEMi – Sorry – Askimet marked your comment as spam. As good as it is, it can be a nuisance sometimes.

Yes, being rejected hurts but if we can learn to get past it, we can still follow our dreams. It's something I try to live by and show my children. <em>Joanne's last blog post..<a href='http://foreverparents.com/2008/04/a-birthfathers-story.html' rel="nofollow">A Birthfather's Story</a></em> Good post Catherine.

I realized that for all the hopes and dreams I intend on cultivating, these kind of things come with the territory as you come up

I really appreciate this post Cath because I can’t have too many reminders

I work on being confident in myself and my work daily as I work to genuinely improve myself with a strong foundation

that way I wont take comments and secretly agree with them causing me to be incredibly offended and hurt

Fear of rejection has halted me before..More than I care to admit

But in learning more about myself and this stuff.. I catch myself nowadays
growth feels good :)

I particularly loved a post you wrote a while ago: http://lillieammann.com/blog/2008/02/13/authors-and-magical-thinking/ Hi Akemi - those situations are tough to deal with aren't they? I think you have to remember it's not about you, it's about the other person, then it doesn't get to you so much. Firing people sucks. I hope you're feeling better about it now - it was no doubt for the best. Hi Barbara - that is a good point. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not always kind to salespeople, but only when they're rude or patronising first. Sterling - that is excellent advice. Trump isn't the most loveable guy but he does seem to know what he's talking about. Did you get to Costa Rica yet? I'm keen to hear all about it. Hi Lillie – thanks.

Firing people sucks. I hope you’re feeling better about it now – it was no doubt for the best.

I remember seeing Donald Trump on a financial news show and the host asked him what was the most important advice he could give for financial success. Trump replied "Never, never, never give up". Thanks for the inspirational examples here Cath. Good message.
