I believe it. I'm continuing to live it, caught in a comparatively low-paying job (I haven't had a salary this low since 1992) as a professional writer for a small twice-a-week newspaper. It's a job that I absolutely love, although I'm sometimes frustrated to be stuck at such a low rung. (I've only been at it for a year. Patience has never been one of my virtues.)<BR/>I'm constantly broke, but attend nearly all of the most high-society functions because of my position. <BR/>I'm surrounded by people of affluence and influence, but usually have more influence than the whole lot.<BR/>It is sometimes an emotional torture to be around people of wealth, wishing I could have that kind of financial success, but knowing that it would require me to give up this job I love so much.<BR/>(I used to be the vice-president of a small insurance company, so I know what it is to have money...not rich, but comfortable).<BR/>I live Trump's mantra, to never ever give up, because I truly believe that one day I will move up the ladder to my dream job, which is to be a syndicated columnist, and that eventually, one of my novels will be published.<BR/>I'm just so damn impatient.<BR/><BR/>So I'm feeling you, Jack. As I once heard a brilliant man say, "there are no unreasonable goals, only unreasonable time frames." Keep hanging in there.<BR/><BR/>*Morris Workman<BR/>www.mesquedia.com<BR/>workmanchronicles.blogspot.comWorkman Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205964464407892269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1119283531053282182005-06-20T09:05:00.000-07:002005-06-20T09:05:00.000-07:00Hi Karen and Stacey,Thanks for stopping by. :)Hi Karen and Stacey,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by. :)Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1119276398358438562005-06-20T07:06:00.000-07:002005-06-20T07:06:00.000-07:00Hard work and never giving up are key to getting o...Hard work and never giving up are key to getting over most of those things. <BR/><BR/>You can do it!<BR/><BR/>*hugs*Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217980334187614772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1119243549329470662005-06-19T21:59:00.000-07:002005-06-19T21:59:00.000-07:00Ahhh yes, frustration.
