I hope you are all enjoying my quotes, I try to keep them relevant to our day to day struggles in WA.

You Can't Please Everyone.

It seems that for some reason my last quote upset one of our members. It's not my intention to do that and I have no idea why he was annoyed.

He plastered a number of strange comments on other members comments about the quote. In one aimed directly at me he told me to 'grow up'.

My grandchildren and great-grandchildren tell me that I act like a child sometimes. I tell them that's fine, children have more fun.

But the one comment he made that managed to hurt me was a suggestion that I was probably successful already and had no idea what it was like to work hard.

Why did it get to me?

Because I came to WA to try to make a reasonable living to replace my current income. I have worked hard for most of my life. My body is tired and riddled with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. It's basically worn out.

But I didn't come here to complain. I came here to grow, learn and develop.

If You're reading This.

If you're the person that's decided to come on my blog and bully me then this quote is especially for you.

It may also benefit others here.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again. Nelson Mandela

Never use your insecurities to put others down. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back to business.

You know, Jim, people that make comments like that really make my blood boil. Do you suppose this person even thought about what they wrote??

No, I don't think they did because if they even thought about it before they wrote it they would realize that it takes hard work to be successful in anything whether it's learning to walk, (how many time does a baby fall down before it learns to walk?), all the way up to building a successful business.

It takes a lot of hard work just to get through school especially if it includes University.

Every step we complete here is a success and involves work. You don't get something for nothing.

As Yoda would say, "Luke, thinking, you are not".

I guess it's inevitable, there is always going to be one.

Stick to your guns, Jim and to the other person?, I agree, it just might be time for them to grow up. Bullying is not allowed in WA.

Keep Moving Forward, Jim

Wayne

Thanks Wayne and I love your Yoda quote.

You are so right about picking yourself up and dusting yourself off and get back to business.

People don't have respect and don't say what annoys them and that is not right they should have enough respect and come forth and say what is bothering them.

Mary

Thanks Mary. I don't mind anyone being annoyed with me, I simply like to know why. Jim

You are so very welcome and I can appreciate that too and want to know why but the person can be an adult about it and not act like a child there is a difference.

Mary

Read the whole thing and still can not get over the "you can't please everyone" yes grow up to whomever.

2nd your new quote brings me to something my nieces would say, "just hating, because I'm doing things and you're not"
Good post. Thanks

Thanks Jason.

Thanks for sharing, Jim.

Thanks Roger.

For me your quotes are GREAT, I didn't see that comment, but any way you don't have to feel mad, it wasn't with you, it was a reflection of that human being. Good luck.

Thanks Nina.

Hi Jim, that is crazy. Some people suffer from tunnel vision, living in a narrow minded world with a narrow mind. My gosh I do feel sorry for them. I think your quotes are great like the one by Nelson Mandela. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Michael.

Success is always built on failures. Nothing is easy. Maybe the person had a bad day, Jim.

True Anusuya. He might have had two bad days. I noticed some strange comments on his profile page.

I apologize for that kind of behavior it's not needed or wanted here at W/A.

No need for you to apologize my friend. Jim

Hi Jim
I saw the comments just now and I hope you reported this abuse as it's not ok to behave like this here or anywhere else
You rock and don't ever let anyone get under your skin
Go well and thanks Jim
Vicki

Thanks Vicki. I had decided if he continued I would report it.

It is best to be positive. you feel better.
Jerry

I always try to be positive.
