Never Give Up, Lessons from an 8yr old !
Randy’s Ramblings May 30 2007
Hi Everyone,
Just checking in,
No major table of contents this week…lol
Just these
*My Thoughts After Entertaining my 8yr old
*Wrap up

So not too boring for you this time…hehe
*My Thoughts After Entertaining my 8yr old
I thought I’d share some thoughts with you this week
It’s a ‘funny’ week for me again, and I can’t see me
getting much done.
Yet another holiday weekend – followed by another school
break – So I have Cameron at home for the week.
Yesterday while I answered a few emails and sent out some
ads to -
*Listdotcom*
*Luckylist*
& *Target Ads Depot*
(part of my weekly routine)
I had ‘Apparently’ 20 + ingrowing hairs on my chin and
neck…lol – That Cameron insisted on ‘digging out’ with
a pair of tweasers…..Ouch !
I was trying to listen to some interviews ‘Terry Telford’
have done with David Vallieres – Some chance..lol
(A good business & marketing newsletter to join actually
while I think on)
He pays you to send people to his newsletter.
Anyway, It’s amazin’g what 8 year olds
find to do, to amuse themselves!!
(If you haven’t been there yet …haha – I can’t wait to
hear what torture you get
)
After that I gave up on trying to do anything else online -
can you blame me?…lol
So off we went to the Playstation.
You’ll be pleased to know that the Space Invaders didn’t
make it through !!!
Although we had to sacrifice ourselves at least 16 times
(each) – we did manage to ‘Save The Planet’ – So you’re
safe for now peeps.
We were nearly late picking Sara up from work due to
Cameron not wanting to ‘Give Up’ til we had the
‘Presidential Medal’ awarded.
And that brings me to my ‘Ramble’ for today….
How many times do You keep on keeping on ?
Do you realise that the Only way you can ever Really Fail -
Is to Quit!
After all – if you haven’t quit yet – then you’ve not
failed….. you’ve just learnt more ways something
doesn’t work!
And that’s a positive isn’t it ?
Because the more ways you learn that something wont work -
the closer you’ll get to a way that it Will.
No Way was Cameron letting the Mother Ships defeat us – he
wasn’t about to quit…
He knew the reward would be worth the struggle.
He had a goal in mind, and every set back was just another
learning experience.
(To be honest – I didn’t think we’d make it ….lol)
At one point the odds were very much against us, but we
worked as a team – doing our bit, and at the same time
trying to help each other gain more ‘shields’ and
‘double shots’ etc…
There seems to be so many similarities to the net for
me….
We each want to add to our own incomes, yet we all need
help from time to time.
Sometimes it looks like we’ll never make it ….. Then
someone gives us another nudge, maybe shows us a
different way of doing something, and we have another small
success.
We pass on information which we hope will benefit us all,
and when we’re really stuck – hopefully – we all know
someone who can guide us through the next level.
Are you still with me guys?….. I hope I
haven’t lost you ….lol
The BIG point to all this Ramble – Is to emphasize that you
should never quit.
Here’s another quick history of someone elses career that
you may have heard before.
Nevertheless – I think it’s one that’s worth reminding
ourselves of:
This Guy FAILED in Business….
Two Years Later He FAILED and was defeated for Legislature
One Year Later He Agian FAILED in Business
The Following year SUCEEDED to be Elected for Legislature
A Year Later His Sweetheart Died
That Lead to the following year having a Nervous Breakdown
Two Years Later He FAILED and was defeated for speaker
Five Years Later He FAILED and was defeated for landofficer
The Same Year He FAILED and was defeated for congress
Three Years Later he SUCCEEDED and was Elected to Congress
Two Years Later He FAILED to get Re-Elected
Seven Years Later He FAILED and was defeated for senate
One Year Later He FAILED and was defeated for Vice President
Two Years Later He Again FAILED and was defeated again for senate
FINALLY in 1860 He SUCCEEDED in becoming —
–President of the United States
I guess by now you know I talking about Abraham Lincoln.
(Even us yorkshire folk have heard of him…lol)
Apparantley – he was just a simple, uneducated, country boy
- Who refused to allow his circumstances stop him.
He wouldn’t accept failure – he just leanred from it. He
wouldn’t quit even when it looked like nothing was going his way.
He just kept learning, and kept going after his dream.
So what’s Your Dream ?
Are you ready to quit?…. Or Are you learning from the
failures and moving on?
Have you joined any forums or lists where people help you,
where you can move forward together?
I’ve mentioned it before, and I doubt it’ll be the last
time I say it ….lol
But One of My Favourite Forum Where I always get the help I need
from a really friendly bunch of guys & gals is the
PlanetSMS Forum.
Which is only available through buying John Thornhills
package:
I guess it may be so good because it’s a private forum -
so only serious people get there.
If you’re not a member, Then I Strongly
recommend you consider joining, I know it costs – But I
promise you ….. You’ll never regret being a member (and
that’s aside of the package you get for your money…lol)
And once you’re in – it’s for life ….lol
Seriously People, you’ll learn so much, and
it’s really great getting honest answers from people who
know what they’re doing.
If it’s too much for you this time round – Then do keep
this message bookmarked.
Come back to it when ever you feel you’ve failed…..
And remember – You Haven’t Failed Until You Quit
So if you’re not ready for quitting – You’ve just learnt
more lessons on the road to success!
Well that’s it from me today
No info overload with too many sites to visit for good info
(as one resigning subscriber put it…lol)
I hope you had a great May as we hit June….

Hi Randy,
I have been receiving your eMails for months.
However;
this is my first time to read your blog. Being a supporter of all youth and young minds, I felt compelled to read “Never Give Up, Lessons from an 8yr old !â€
I must admit; that is not what I was expecting to read; yet, it was most enjoyable.
Randy, I am glad to finally know that I have not failed… Because I have not quit… Not yet!
I have been struggling for over a year. I get people who promise me that if I purchase their program… I will soon be successful. I will be among the guruuuuusssss.
“It ain’t happened yet!”
I am waiting but my patients are wearing very very thin. I purchase the ‘rags to riches’ program……….then……..
I purchase the ‘rags to riches’ program…………………….then…..
I purcha……..Oh… I said that already, didn’t I?
Bottom line is when they get my money, they forget I am on the face of the earth.
Helloooooooooooo… I’m still hereeeeeeeeee…
Please Randy, don’t cry. I apologize that you find my story to be so sad, I really did not mean to make you cry….
Please.. Please wipe your eyes, get a grip!

Hey Randy, your posts always put visions in my head, and ingrowing hairs is not a good one!
When you have such a good writing style as yours it should come with a government health warning lol.
Loved the post, even though it’s an old one now, still very relevant today, Sally
Cheers Sally,
I hadn’t even realised it was nearly 3 years old….
WOW – how time flies!!
