If you were a glass half empty type, then one set back can lead straight into another. As you said in your post, that you expected a good outcome from a bad situation - then that's what you got. Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right! What happens following a set back, is down to yourself.

You're a chess nut too huh, I play online all the time - I actually think I'm more addicted to it that domains now ! all the best andy ----answer----- Used to play a lot of Chess for years, was winning against some grandmasters at my prime. The game is so addicting (I played 16+ hours a day for a while) I have no interest in it anymore whatsoever. My Chess medicine these days is business :) Cheers Sahar Hi Sahar

Life is like a book (the book is a great story of an individual), every page in that book represents a day of living (the ups and downs in life - the downs are the lessons which must be learned). Make the most out of YOUR life so when the time is up your book will be a master piece which will be remembered throughout time. Nice post Sahar.

Apparently, I got in the game right as the PPC goldmine was just starting to deplete. I for one, didn't even know such a thing existed when I got into the game. I thought it was just about buying and selling domain names - the concept of parking never occurred to me. So, I've always looked at parking revenues as a bonus - no love lost here :) Cheers.

It hasn't been a bad day but it hasn't been the day I thought I wanted. And yet I see the good that can come of it. I can see the positive side of dealing with what I think went wrong as I work to fix it. Your encouraging words reinforced my resolve. Thank You! Thanks, Sahar,

Ive always believed and can point to evidence on every occasion that, during a period of perceived bad times, its good times somewhere else. Every action having an equal and opposite reaction. As entrepreneurs, we simply become fluid, change our model, embrace change and move on. Simple. Nothing lasts forever, if you are fortunate enough to have benefited from any current status quo then accept the fact that you rode the wave and did well (nothing more than that). If you weren't so fortunate, take pleasure in the fact that everyone is also back at square one and the game starts all over again. You may be back at the start, but so to is everyone else. On a domaining parallel, Ive been running down centralnic and their sub domains for what seems like an age now, ironically, because of the ICANN decision, it now seems like all our domains will drop a level and were all gonna own them. On a side note, $100k for .con seems like a steal and im sure Kevin Ham has his checkbook at the ready.. ----answer---- <blockquote>As entrepreneurs, we simply become fluid, change our model, embrace change and move on.
