Congratulations and "well done" to everyone involved. Thanks, too, for the insight / provocation / inspiration / ideas and slides to use and adapt / opportunity to read, learn, think about what everyone's posted and also to sound off / creating a neat little community here. Keep it up!
Congrats Tom! As cliche as it sounds, your posts on this blog are a source for inspiration. After reading a post I frequently find myself thinking how to apply your lessons in my own life. There aren't too many in 'blog land' who do this for me. While juggling a consulting business and giving speaches around the world you've stayed dedicated to the blog. I admire it. It speaks in volumes about your passion to make all of us better individuals (in the business world and at home!)
Big thanks to TP for a great blog, giving so much of himself and acting as the catalyst for great discussions and a strong community of wildly differing opinions!
Long may it continue!

Con'grats to You all - I look forward to many more happy years of blogging from the TP Crew !!
quick quick--cut the cake-pass me a slice.. I gotto to run !! :)_
Congratulations!!! Once again you have opened doors for many. The insight and motivation from this is awesome. Not to mention the entertainment. It must feel great to know how many people you have helped. Break the molds and live life as it happens not as it’s planned.
Keep on Blogging

Can't believe it's two years aleady.
I've been a follower of your ideas and insights since "In Search of Excellence". I've counted on you to challenge my thinking, and always lead me in new directions.
The blog, and this site, are invaluable and irreplaceable.
Congratulations, thank you, and on to a brilliant future!!!

AND you've amplified/created the "Trevor" clone - he with radical/devious/nefarious plans/schemes to soon rule the USA with his cabinet/cabal/jihad of balding British former football players!!!!!!! :>}

here's a birthday present: a confirming update on a blog topic from the recent past.
In-store med clinics doing great and roughing up the status quo.
It's weird not seeing anything from Trevor. Join the party, Trevor!

‘Togoeast’ – what a fabulous name …
Great to be ‘at the party’ albeit late …
Sadly I had to work yesterday (an excellent workshop delivery of course – please forgive the unashamed plug)
As a result of having to do stuff called ‘work’ to ensure I can eat next month I didn’t get to the ‘birthday party’ on time …
As Sean will testify I am fundamentally a mean, penny pinching person (as well as bald(ing), socialist and thief of words)
I am needless to say very much in support of ‘free’ parties and I always get there in the end – usually in time to help myself to drinks because everyone else is already too drunk to notice I am in fact drinking their wine and beer.
This strategy has worked for me for over 30 years and of course I offer discounted training rates for TP Blog members on how to achieve this cult 'party attendee’ status.
Great also to see Sean now pinching MY words (see first entry on this thread)... the pills must be working - he is finally coming round to my way of thinking – the Brits are taking over my friend.
Yours, tongue in cheek ….
Happy birthday to TP Blog – Cathy you are a star! Here’s to the next 10 years!
Naturally "Trevor" must have the longest POST - in his ongoing scheme of all things COMPLEXITY and not Simplicity - and SOCIALISM/ANTI-free enterprise inefficiency - LESS IS MORE FOR GAWDS SAKE TG - TAKE A HINT ... [given my [+][-]150 IQ - 2 lines is my max] .. MINIMALISM TG in this 3rd YEAR ... :>}
Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.

Congratulations Tom!
You are a regular stop.
I still think a tour of your study/library is a great idea even with all your misgivings!
Also, my book on Ecclesiastes will give you great perspective on why it is so hard to be at peace. Yours for the asking.
Gently pestering in Austin,
Dave

Two days back I was wondering when the site changed colors and became what it is today. There we go - CONGRATULATIONS.
Many thanks for reviving Ways to Succeed also.
