On the industry section , there was guy going really well , till he starting going on about losers, I'm not sure it's really in our everyday vocabulary but it can be a hurtfull saying. My exwife [she wasn't from here] had a habit of using it when least appreciated, so I came accross some great quotes about success , from some famous guys, hope you like them, cheers H. "A person is a success if they get up in the morning and get to bed at night and in between does what they want" BOB DYLAN. Cool eh , I have more. " 80% of success is showing up" WOODY ALLEN. " Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm" SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL'
