this is really true @chbartist ,
this is not a financial aspect,but a matter of love, there was this girl i met through my junior sister who has grown to be a beautiful woman, with me being older than her, and achieved more than her, i thought to myself, it shouldnt be hard to make this lady mine.
i was wrong,it was the hardest task i have ever had to go through in a lifetime, i kept doing everything to please her,i spent money,i was caring, and even with all this, her heart was not still mine,i kept trying doing the same thing over and over again...

Until i took a step back, and i discovered something beautiful, when i took a step back,she moved forward closer,then i knew then that because i kep moving towards her,she didnt have to move,and she didnt know what i meant until i moved back,...

my point is i changed my technique,took a step back,and i got good results,...you might not get good results everytime, but its worth the try...
