Thanks everyone, I really appreciated all the comments. I will keep going with the series, although I'll change up the format a bit. I may cover more than one at a time, and I won't post them on quite such a regular basis (maybe every other Friday or something like that) although I won't start doing them on a totally random basis!

I really, truly, sincerely appreciate all the words of encouragement more than you can know! You really made my day :)

There's been hardly anything in my life that I have set out to do, and consistently followed through to completion. It would be very inspiring to see you finish this series as planned.

Oh please don't stop! I found it so interesting I forwarded it on to several of my friends, and was waiting eagerly for the next post. I haven't commented before, but then I only found your blog a few weeks ago, and I'm have to admit to a bit of shyness, as I'm an 'old foggy' who has only just learned about the joys of blogging, but you talk a lot of sense, and have made me start re-evaluating my attitudes, so please don't stop.

I vote for continuing the 31 causes of failure as well. People, see what happens when you don't comment? :)

Sometimes readers can feel that a post series is hijacking a blog and taking focus away from the regular content. While I didn't feel that way, posting them on a less frequent basis might be a good idea, as you suggested.

OK, well thanks for the feedback, all. Maybe I'll continue doing them but on a more irregular basis, or two/three at a time or something like that.

I liked the series too....you can't always judge the audience by the comments.

Why don't you just reveal the rest of the 31 causes in one big old post rather than stretching them out over the remaining days? I for one would like to read the rest, if only in a shortened version.

I hope you reconsider as well, I enjoyed the 1st few posts and was looking forward to the remainder. I think it would be interesting, thought provoking reading.

BrBl - seems that people only want to read your piece on 31 Successes ... you know, the one that comes with the free step-by-step blueprints so that we can all simply copy with your patented Guarantee of Success ;)

Of course, if we don't learn from failure, then all the 'success formulas' in the world will do absolutely nothing for us!

I, for one, will feel the loss ... please reconsider.

I read the foreclosure piece you listed - I understand there are some unscrupulous lenders out there. But I don't understand people's inclination to blame it all on the lenders. What happened to "personal" responsibility? Most of the people in trouble bought way more house than they could afford... it seems like nobody wants to "work" their way up anymore. What ever happened to a starter home? Or as we call them, a fixer-upper? I just don't understand the blame everyone but ourselves attitude - it boggles my mind.

It's funny, but I put that "feeling poor" in the title at the very end, without too much thought about "feeling" vs. "being."

That's what I get for lurking. I liked the education one, but didn't really agree with the attitude one. I'll just have to go and read the book myself.
