Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
19th century British politician

  1. Like so much in life, the line between winners and losers is often not clear until they obviously are one or the other.

  2. So true Cynthia. And today's winners can become tomorrow's losers, complicating things in the process.

    Has anyone read a good book talking about the transition process from one to the other? Not sure how you'd research that but it would be interesting.
