Goole result for "failure"...

Google:"Googlebombing". I guess it's all in your definition of what "failure" is. Jimmy Carter was second. We could discuss "failure"; we all feel like born losers at times.

"They said, "Go to college and you'll succeed in life". I did that. They said, "Work hard and you'll succeed in life". I did that. They said, "Honesty is the best policy". I am honest, but I was lied to by a priest(client). They said, "Stay out of trouble and don't hang around with deadbeats". I have stayed out of trouble and I don't hang around with lazy people. They said, "Save your money, you never know when a rainy day will come along." I've only known hard times, financially. The harder I worked the higher the cost of living rose and the better the cars the prominent drove". They said, "Don't be a debtor."  I feel wages are kept down and yet a zillion offers for credit are available to those who have good incomes--but not for those who need help--and credit is not income. They said, "Cheer up and look at the positive." I try, but it seems that being positive means I get exploited more easily. They said, "The only failures are those who never tried." I've put in 110% and I'm still hoping for someone to notice, but a famous charity who helps working families cheated me out of half my wages on their job. They say, "Go back to college and earn a higher degree."  I did that. Now they say, "You need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps". Are they talking about "jack-boots"?

My mother was a nurse--she died penniless in a nursing home and I was unable to visit her because a prominent kitchen showroom cheated me out of half my wages and I had no travel money. They now make over $600,000   income a year and say "If you want to succeed in life--do as we did--work hard, be honest, go to church, and pull yourself up by the bootstraps".

I know-- I should think positively and improve my attitude!
