The Curse of Permanent Potential
I was given a plaque this morning by a woodcarver that I have been helping, i liked it so much I thought I would share the inscription with you
OPPORTUNITIES MISSED
(or The Curse of Permanent Potential)
There was a very cautious man
Who never laughed or played
He never risked, he never tried
He never sang or prayed
And when one day he passed away
His insurance was denied
For since he never really lived
He never really died

Thanks Lonnie, creating relationships is what life and business are all about I know very few successful people who cant as my father used to say about me make friends in an empty room, I like to make it my business to know people.

This poem is so true! Thank you for sharing. When I talk about creating relationships this is what I am talking about. It's not about the product or business opportunity but the impact we have on others. A bonding relationship that someone would go out of their way to give you a plaque of wisdom.
