you need fire for success

I like to collect quotes.   So many of them are filled with nuggets of wisdom, while others are humorous.  But then there are some that I just don’t understand.   Like this one:

“Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion.  You must set yourself on fire.” ~ Arnold H. Glasow

Maybe that’s success for him, but personally, I don’t consider setting myself on fire to be “success”.  I reckon we just have different goals.  But since his is so strange, he shouldn’t make a broad statement like that.  But I will say this — as a hobby, setting things on fire is fun, but most experts agree that it’s typically not in your best interests to set yourself on fire.

Success for most people would probably involve inheriting or winning millions of dollars, acquiring your own private island, having all the latest technology, and sitting around eating Cheetos and playing video games all day.

increasing the continued success

I’m still excited about the increase in traffic last month.  It has been going up each month for five consecutive months.  I predict it will continue to increase, too, because we’re about to add some new features.  And of what we currently do, there are plans to make it even better.  If you like our humor, we’re going to get funnier.  If you like the stupidity, well, we’ve only scratched the surface of what we’re capable of!  If you enjoy the randomness, know there’s more where that came from.  Yep, things are going to get bigger and better here, you’ll see.

Some of you may be wondering how we can provide all this for free, when some of the other free blogs copy and paste their humor or they write only 3 to 5 posts per month.  It’s because I enjoy trying to be funny and I think people should laugh more.  However, that doesn’t pay the bills, so I’m forced to work other jobs.  If only I could write on this blog (and my other one) full-time, that would be awesome.  Then there would be more high-quality content here than you could shake a stick at.  If you’d like to see this happen, send me some money.  Use the “contact us” link in the sidebar to request the address where you can send me a big pile of U.S. currency.  Then it’s like I’d be working for you.  I’m okay with that, if you pay enough.  🙂  There’s also some benefits we’d have to work out, which has already been discussed on the blog here (like free sweet tea and nachos, plenty of breaks, etc.).  And not only would you get to enjoy more original content, you’d be contributing to my mission of making the world a better place.  It’s a win-win situation!
