[FONT="]Although I've only been apart of this forum for a short while, I would like to extend my gratitude to this community. I've spent many hours reading through past threads and going through the wealth of knowledge shared by the members. You guys have shown me that there is another way to live life, a better way. I believe Robert Frost say's it best:

I have always had a passion for entrepreneurship, however I always believed it was something that I had to wait until mid life for. This caused me to be chronically stressed over the past few years about my future and what I planned to with my life. I did not want to be relegated to a corporate ball and chain; however, I felt that is what I had to do. It was societally ingrained in me. I was almost near the point of succumbing to this. But now, with the information I have been learning I feel liberated. I feel like I actually can skip the monotone 9-5 work that most people dread and do something that actually makes me happy. This has taken a huge weight off my shoulders and for the first time in my life I actually feel almost entirely worry free.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have set goals and feel that my life is on the right path for me now. Some of my goals are as follows:[/FONT]
[FONT="]-To learn CSS/HTML/Javascript (I feel that this will benefit me in the long run and I am quite interested in it.)[/FONT]
[FONT="]-To open up a few sites that drive income through ADs.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]-To open up an e-business before I graduate college that generates enough income to sustain myself.(I am currently a Junior, but have 2.5 years left for my double major.)[/FONT]
[FONT="]-To use this e-business as platform to launch a fastlane type business venture.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]So in conclusion, to stop my rambling, I just would like to say thanks to you guys. You've opened a new world for me and helped me set goals that will defie my life. And although I am working much harder now, it does not feel like work. I am thorougly enjoying my self.[/FONT]
