Replies: 539 03 Jan 11 03:32 DFC Did you ever watch 'Kung Fu' the TV series built around the philosophies of life? Losing is embracing safety ~ You can't gain if you don't compete, you will not know true joy without experiencing sorrow, for most situations in life there is a yin and yang. If you take no chances in life there will be no rewards. The rich in love, business, sport prowess, inventing, investing etc... are that way because they took a gamble, not because they sat back and played it safe and risked nothing. No risk no reward, nothing ventured nothing gained. Fortune favors the brave. etc... etc... Losers are people who are content to serve others, willing to be enslaved so as not to risk losing their next meal. =========================================================================================== Trouble is................................some people believe they are playing FOOTBALL.......when they are just POOR PLAYERS .....NOT EVEN STRUTTING! They are NOT "brave"...................just mediocre in their approach to the "beautiful£ game..............a bit like LIVERPOOL have been for last 2 years................+ Go through the motions in life......................and you get NOTHING other than self-gratification.............and NOBODY WILL RECOGNISE any "talent" you MAY have.....by JUST GOING THROUGH THE LOCO_MOTION of life! |

I am actually a British citizen living in Australia. Its not about losing or being defeated on an outcome it is about continuing the game, not giving in to defeat. Many suffer temporary defeats and go on to be successful and reap the rewards of persistence. |

English from Little Marlow
|

By:
Little Marlow is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England.
It is on the north bank of the River Thames, about a mile east of Marlow. The toponym "Marlow" is derived from the Old English for "land remaining after the draining of a pool". In 1015 it was recorded as Merelafan. Hamlets in the parish of Little Marlow include Coldmoorholme, Fern, Handy Cross, Sheepridge, and Winchbottom. The village cottages are set around a large space, surrounded by lime trees, that is used as a cricket ground and village green where an annual fête is held. The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Baptist lies at the heart of the village, not far from the river and next to the manor house. The original construction of the church is Norman, dating from the final years of the 12th century. Most of the building was built during the 14th and 15th centuries. Little Marlow was once the site of a Benedictine convent dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The convent belonged to Bisham Abbey. It was seized by the Crown in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1547 and was eventually demolished in 1740. Today the village is in a scenic location on the River Thames, although home to a large sewage works and gravel extraction plant. Melanie Brown of the Spice Girls pop group lived in Little Marlow for a while. The village became the focus of a national news story in 1998 when she and dancer Jimmy Gulzar were married in the parish church and invited many celebrity guests to their wedding reception. There are two public houses in the village: the Kings Head and the Queens Head ========================================================================================================= Loads of entrepreneurial naming of pubs there........... |

DFCIRONMAN says kiwis know what winning mentality is and never take a backward step,ever.
He then quotes rugby union head to head. NZ 95 wins Aust 39 wins He neglects to point out rugby league head to head. Aust 90 wins NZ 29 wins Seems there were a few backward steps after all! |

I saw there had been 20 posts on this thread which I thought
might be interesting, but then my jaw dropped as I saw that about 13 of them were from DFC after a drinking session. I didn't, as usual, read any of them. Does anyone read his posts ? |

By:
No.

The thing I don't like about DFC's post is all the "........." he always puts in his messages. Just makes them unreadable. Not quite sure what purpose they serve.
