I just put about 50% of my business on the line and it paid off!

Every significant success in my life involved significant risk. The lesson that I have learned over and over is this: Don't be afraid to get your head cut off; you'll grow a new one.

Just celebrating and thinking in text [like thinking out-loud]. :biggrin:

Time to pick out a new computer. :-p

I'm glad to hear everything is going very well. :biggrin:
 
I don't think my species re-grows lost heads. :frown:
 
...what species do?? Do any?
 
worms

uh oh...
 
I guess so...
 
"Don't be afraid to get your head cut off;" you can always steal/borrow some one else' head!

hmmm... I guess the main risk is here: whether this new head works well or not!
 
Well its your job to make sure you stole a working head.

What an idiot would be a burglar that steals a broken TV.
 
That's right! But I think if the owner has a working head, s/he never let me steal his/her head! :-p

It's a good thing he didn't realize that before taking the risk. :biggrin:

This one was pretty scary. It could have killed the business.
