J,
There are a lot of success stories posted here already.
Just look to the left hand side of the main page here, and click on “success stories”.
This should do the trick…real stories, from real live people, many of whom you will still see posting here.

I am a newbie investor. As with all new investors I can use a few inspirational stories to keep my motivation up. Can you all share some of your “first deal” stories? It always helps to learn from experience.
