Agents of Literary Change

There was a little boy named Steven who once asked a wise old man what it took to be successful. The wise old man picked Steven up by the scruff of his neck and dunked him, head first, into a barrel filled with water. Steven was kicking and squirming with all he had, but the wise old man just kept him under water. After holding young Steven there for several minutes, and mere seconds before Steven passed out, the wise old man released his hold on the young boy. As Steven began to catch his breath, he said, "Hey, why did you go and do that? You must be out of your mind you could have killed me." The wise old man just laughed and said, "You asked me what it took to be successful? Well what was the one thing you wanted more than anything else when you were underwater?" Young Steven said, "I wanted AIR!!" The wise old man said, "Steven when you want SUCCESS just as much as you wanted that air, you'll have it."


-Rev Run-

How badly do you want success?

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
SPAMMING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Stop it already! Stop misleading the flock! Jesus Christ! Sophia DID NOT WIN A DAMN THING! You guys are revealing more and more that you are in the business of helping this woman, who in my opinion is acting like a con artist, sell her book!
