southace said..Cisco it maybe worth not posting financial positions of seabreeze members on these forums. There's always going to be someone better off or worse off than ones selfs.
Unless he likes to quote figures I guess that's understandable.
just saying That's how I read it!
The way I was reading it was that in this thread there seemed to be a general idea coming forth that by default, reasonably wealthy yacht owners that regularly race must be arseholes by definition.
I was just trying to point out that nothing could be further from the truth.
Re what I said in relation to Jode5 :- I was quoting information that he has posted on the forum previously, so therefore already known to everybody here and therefore I have not been talking "out of school".
In this country that operates under the "Free Enterprise System" (less so when Labor wins power), some people become wealthy and some people become or remain poor.
Why is it so????............Circumstances have very little to do with it. The attitude the individual adopts and the choices he/she makes are what determine the quality of life.
If the dream is worthwhile and the desire strong enough, whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, It CAN achieve.
Jules Verne conceived the idea of man going to the bottom of the ocean and of man going to the Moon. Some other people later on believed in those ideas and achieved the feats.
So let us get away from this assumption that if a person is successful and has a bit of bling about them that they must be arseholes. Not true.
