Announcing my membership

[Edmilson Xavier]

Hi BP Community, 

I am new to BP. I currently work in retail in New York City. What led to my discovery of BP was my search for another job that is more outgoing - one that allows me to obtain financial freedom while being totally in love with what I do. I am 51 and still remember what Steve Jobs said in his Stanford Commencement Speech (2005): Until you find something you love doing, do not settle (I am paraphrasing him). I never, in my wildest imagination, thought there was a way of making tons of money without doing something to rip people off, or doing something unethical to some degree. I believe REI presents this possibility - in a way that is legitimate.

As I said, I am new; and as such, and in the future, I welcome your comments and suggestions. I end with this, between now and when I am finally able to do my first deal, allow me if you please, to rejoice in your success, either big or small. All the best to the BP community. Yours, Edmilson Xavier
