    you know the one that goes 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you feed him for life'?

    whenever I hear that, I think ' and you've created a whole new market for fishing equipment'

    Perhaps not one for the wall!!
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    Smcshane,

    A couple of other suggestions.

    "Fall down seven times, stand up eight", which is a Japanese proverb and, according to Google, also the name of a CD by Stuart Bogie & Superhuman Happiness. (As I'm not a music person I have no idea whether anyone will have heard of them!)

    It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. ~Albert Einstein

    If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. ~Buddhist Saying

    I liked the quote someone posted weeks ago from Nelson Mandela about it not being fear of failure holding you back but fear of success but I'm afraid I'm too lazy to trawl back looking for it.
