Evening Keith,

I think all of us can sympathize with you in varying degrees. I have often said there is a guaranteed system where you can make a fortune. That system simply is to buy what I sell and sell what I buy. We have all had the luck of the Irish moments like you are going through.

There is a book I read awhile back that to this day has been probably the single best influence that I go back to constantly. Even more than Geoff Moore's "The Gorilla Game"<gg> and that book is Dale Carnegie's "How to Stop Worrying and How to Start Living".

I am NOT getting on the soap box here but this book helped me put into the proper perspective my worries years ago. When I have similar problems like yours and I feel that old worry feeling creeping up on me, I reacquaint myself with it again. I heartily recommend it. It helps you identify and come to grips with the worry and helps you understand what is THE worst case scenario. Once this scenario is realized, then you can think more rationally and can deal with what HAS to be done. You can work out solutions much easier once you get worry out the way.

It is available on audio cassette and I would be happy to lend you my copy, but Coonaz has it now. The book is available everywhere in paperback.

The sermon is over. Later,

Joel
