You said: where in you life or in history have you seen a positive from something so poorly planned and executed? Many many times. In my life, as in most lives of humans, mistakes are a part of the game. Sometimes even huge mistakes are surmountable, if you don't give up. I have seen and made very large mistakes. Some of those mistakes resulted in failure and others were overcome to reach new heights of success. The difference was the person's attitude. If they never doubted the attainability of the end goal and never doubted their ability to achieve it, despite screwups, that person increased their probability of success a thousandfold. I would like specific examples, not generalities........preferably an even in history. ted
