30 Days of Dickens – Day 4

‘Please, sir, I want some more.’ — Oliver Twist

My Take – Dissatisfaction and the willingness to risk all to improve are keys to success.  Oliver knew his chances of being denied and punished just for asking were pretty much 100%, but he tried nonetheless.  And contrary to the opinion of 51% of the American electorate, there is nothing wrong with wanting more and doing what it takes to get it.  So long as how I get what I want for myself and my family in a legal and ethical manner, then it’s no-one’s business but my own.

      Yep.

      I can honestly say that everything we have, we worked for. Both of us left our homes at 18 with literally the clothes on our back.

    Ask and you shall receive. You just never know what’s going to happen until you ask.
