I was thinking about success this morning and all the effort and thought we put into achieving it when I came across a blog post at thenetsetter.com written by Collis Ta’eed. his post is titled “Putting the Odds in Your Favour”, in it he wonders about the relationship of luck and success and if luck may be just another name for hard word or sticking with it.
I have always believed in luck as I have always believed in perseverance and sweat, however I’m not sure they are the same thing. There are no guarantees that the ball will fall into the correct slot while you wait around nor if you work your whole life at one thing will you positively reach a successful plateau. No I think there is luck, however I can’t tell you how to find it or how to purchase a bag full of it. There are those who will tell you it’s a “Secret” and if you give them money they will tell it to you, or maybe give you a map so you can find your own “Secret.” I’m pretty sure what they are selling is a course in perseverance and not for a second would I discourage anyone from finding their own “Secret.”

You the small business owner can ask people in your network what their experiences have been or you can spend a day searching the Internet for reviews or even anti-affiliate web sites. Either of the these takes you down an uncertain path. [click to continue…]

When we wake up in the west on election day, most of us take for granted that our vote will count. When we wake up in the west on election day, most of us know that no matter the outcome, our vote will not have to compete with wide spread voter fraud. When we wake up in the west on election day, most of us will go to sleep that day knowing the results and knowing those results are protected from the heavy hand of special interests. Today is a day for bloggers to unite in support of legal and fair election results in Iran and in every country. When the world wakes up, it will be a better day.
