Sometimes disaster is our teacher. I don't welcome it, but if it comes, there is something to be learned from it.
-- Leslie Parrish -
With money come the tests. My bankruptcy, which at the time I thought was a disaster, turned out to be a major blessing. It taught me so much! Money is not only an isolator, but it's a magnet, too. It draws all kinds of people to you - you may not want them but it draws them to you anyway. The reverse of that, a bankruptcy, sends everybody away.

-- Leslie Parrish -

-- Leslie Parrish
