"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
- Babe Ruth
All of you who know me know that I've never feared the chance of failure. If you want to accomplish something, don't let the chance that you might fail stop you from trying. The only thing that you're sure to fail at is anything you never try.

"Cause even when the world is falling on top of me, pessimism is an emotion not a philosophy."
- Mistakes Immortal Technique

I've shared this line from this song before, and those who know me understand why I share it. I've spoken to hundreds of people at this point about staying positive and never surrendering. I've competed against many people throughout my life, and many have called me crazy when they found out who or what I was competing against. I'm Derek Thomas Lirio, I've funded every project I've ever pursued myself, I've educated myself to do every job I've performed. I know many of you out there who have done the same, and I've helped many of you do the it when you've needed guidance.

Even if they call you crazy, even if everything is going horribly wrong, keep your head up, and even smile. You're still alive, which means it's not over.

"A cow on its own is just a cow. The sun shining through the trees is just a beam of light. A forest landscape is just some grass and trees. But you put them all together, you have a beautiful landscape."
- Flipped

I share this quote because those who have known me for a long time and have spoken to me know that I've said similar things before. Those of you who've worked with me remember that I've always said that a business is a mechanism where everyone involved plays a part. A relationship is nothing unless both partners actively work to improve it. No matter how alone you think you are, how isolated you try to be, every one of us plays a part in something greater.

Happy new year to everyone, from Derek Thomas Lirio.

The republican governors have all done the right thing. Every illegal immigrant is being sent to democrat run states, since they are the ones that have said that they are the true Americans that welcome all. California and New York, the 2 most liberal states in this country are giant dumpster fires. Democrats elected Biden to get rid of Trump. They hated the better economy, the safer streets, the better foreign relations. To the democrats/liberals who say republicans can start businesses because they're elitist, you're wrong. First of all, we're not masochists. Second of all, we can take care of ourselves.
