Just a quick note. Throughout history people have put up statues for a host of different heroes. I hear that the Scottish countryside is full of statues to William Wallace, the subject of the movie Braveheart. There are statues to Widukind (A German hero from approx 1000 years ago) all over Germany. There is a statue of Paul Revere in Boston.

For all reasons, throughout history sinners, saints, good guys and bad have had statues erected to them.

But no one has ever erected a statue to a critic, understand.

You see if you want to be great, then you must not listen to critics. Many people thought Walt Disney was an idiot. Michael Dell's father said he was ruining his life. Everywhere you look you can find a critic who is more than happy to speak poorly of someone who is out there doing “it”.

The other thing to remember is that if you are a critic, you won't be great. So don't be a critic.

Ignore the critics and keep you criticism to yourself and you will be on the way to greatness!

Get the Barbarian Mind Set and keep it. Stay trú to yourself and your family, the rest will take care of itself.

It is important that people know that I have faced or do face the same challenges they face. Life is an integrated process. Your professional life must support your personal and family life and vice versa, otherwise you will never find true success." Everte Can be reached at his web page http://www.successfulBarbarian.com
