I have a 2005 Triumph Speedmaster motorcycle.

Strong demand created by this rate drop has triumphed over other economic disruptions (e.g., pandemic, recession, record unemployment).

I desire to come out of this market correction with triumph.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt

How to express myself both eloquently AND concisely.. see above for proof XDI look forward to sharing our lessons and triumphs in the coming months, all the best! 

I actually loved loosing Jay's money.It was probably the best thing that could have happened heheA few years ago he told me "Engelo, one day you will loose my money and if you pay it back, we are good""A man shows his true colors in times of adversity and not triumph"I'll blame another Aussie forum for that loss as that is how I met Jay almost 5 years agoMuch success mate

Would love to hear how you started & any adversities / triumphs you've encountered. 

Good Afternoon Everyone,I'm looking forward to meeting and sharing my struggles as well as triumphs while trying to become a real estate investor.
