I can very much relate to the picture with the guy 'mining for treasure' and does not give up. I have it myself and look at whenever I get the feeling of quitting. The thing is you only loose when you give up! So keep at it people!

Great post - following
Right? That picture is one of my favorites! Sometimes it just takes a little bit more to get everything that you want.
