Scott quoted: "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?"

Some of the smartest people I know are not rich.
Some of the most stupid people can be rich.

Excuse the philosophy lesson, but...

Success to me: is the ability to notice opportunities as they present themselves (being open minded), react and take advantage of these opportunities (risk taker), and get the Hell out when the situation becomes bad ( as they all eventually do become).

The best example of this is Mr. Bill Gates. (One day, mark my words, he will know when to exit). (and it won't be on the account of Cowpland)

This makes you rich (other than inheritance and lotteries).

In my case I did all three, and at 35 it paid off. The sucker who came after me thought he was smart, but soon realized that he was not.

One day soon, (with changes), I see Corel to be an opportunity. I think most of us will agree (can't speak for Vanni). I, in my usual fashion, will be there to spot it, do it, and then cash out and move-on

Now that you've seen the unhumoured Bean. Does ya like me better!
