"Something more thoughtful would help!"

It may not have been very profound, but that was the most thoughtful response I could give.

I believe the single biggest differentiator between success and failure is not giving up. Removing the words "can't" and "fail" from your vocabulary is a very simple illustration of this philosophy.

(Lighten up, it's metaphorical, not literal.)

I agree totally - sorry if I seemed uptight! (it's late here in the UK!)

You don't go along with the age thing then?

Not at all. I'm older than you and having a ball.

(By the way, it looks like you're getting lots of excellent feedback in this thread. Welcome aboard!)

Thanks for the comments. I hope to be at that ball soon, perhaps in a nice new tux!
