SteveA you dont understand the word metaphore do you. and did you know that the riches man in the us. no in the world was preparing himself for what he was doing since before he was 14. yes bill gates has been developing programs and small video games since he was 10. what i meant by surrounding yourself by 10 millionares or 10 broke people is, if you surrounded yourself by the wealthy, learned how they got wealthy, then based your life like they did, did everything they did. wouldint u figure you would have somewhere around there success? i think you should read more self development books. im not braggin. i have plenty of things wroung about me. but as intelligent people say, dont hold on to the bad, think about the good and what you have. anyways thats besides the point, there are countless people on here with "useless" signatures, or avatars you can easily change if you would like to view the signatures or not so stop complaining. and like you said u dont know me, so why would i need to lie or impress people. and also compared to some people my dick is like gods right hand, its a blessing, compared to other people im like gods fingernail. (theres another metaphore) it all depends on how you look at it. maybe instead of talking smack or insulting me, why dont u incourage me, or help me to change, u think calling me obnoxious will fix how i am? since you like to insult maybe i should call you ignorant and lazy... >And I'm not sure what the point would be of standing by a millionaire; he wouldn't give me his money if I did.why do you want HIS money, why dont you earn your own. dont be stupid u will never accomplish anything in life by having everything given to you. "The spoiled child died from lost parents, whereas the slave of the spoiled childs parents was set free." that is an extremely old saying. it means that the spoiled kid lost his only support (his parents who gave him everything) and died, he didint know how to support himself cause he always had everything given to him, but the slave was set free and survived, he knew how to fend for himself, not to mention he knew how to work and make a profit. in the story that this quotation was taken from, the slave in later years owned his own chain of merchants and then bought the province in which his old masters lived in. Aint that a boutta bitch???well steve A you dont need to reply, in fact i would discourage it, for i dont like infering on stupid topics, i will change my signature if it will get you to shut up...

I know what a metaphor is, but I don't know when you're telling stories and when you're talking about yourself.
If you remove your sig (and yes, there are other obnoxious ones...is your point that you think you're being picked on?), don't do it for me. Do it because you understand how it makes you come across. It's not exactly putting your best foot forward, if you'll excuse the metaphor.
> if you surrounded yourself by the wealthy, learned how they got wealthy, then based your life like they did, did everything they did. wouldint u figure you would have somewhere around there success?
It depends on what you mean. If you're saying, get an education and work hard, then I agree with you. If you think you should do everything that they do, then you're misguided. That will only work if you're in their exact situation. Also, in a some cases, people succeed through random chance. The idea is to make your own luck by being properly prepared.
> u think calling me obnoxious will fix how i am?
I don't know if you're obnoxious, although you seem to have a tendency toward bragging, but listing your penis stats with each post is certainly obnoxious. It's also immature. Could you imaging the CEO of a corporation, or a senator, doing that?
> maybe i should call you ignorant and lazy...
Feel free.
> why do you want HIS money, why dont you earn your own.
I don't. I did and do. The point is that standing with rich guys will probably not get me very far. Being entrepreneurial and independent is a better recipe.
> "The spoiled child died from..."
I agree that it's important to have skills so you can survive on your own. In this economy, though, unlike that of the 1800's, education is the best survival skill there is. That's the one thing you need to take most seriously.
> Aint that a boutta bitch???
Huh?
Are you really 14?
-
yes i am 14, but i grew up very fast, i had to adapt to the lifestyle i was thrown into. my childhold wasint really a walk in the park. my mother worked close to 14 hour shifts, would work from 7 till 9 most days, others she would get home so late i wouldint see her. but thats besides the point.
in todays society you really dont need an education, there are plenty of people who are millionares that dropped outta highschool, its more like what you decide to do with what you have... let me tell you something about henry ford, yes henry ford the guy that owns "Built Ford tough!" trucks.
not to many years ago he was confronted by close to a dozen reporters at his quarters, they were trying to confront him, claiming he was stupid and didint know shit about trucks or how to make them. they rushed into the building only to be stopped by the secretary. his secretary called him and told him the situation. he told her to let them in. they came scurrying in yelling bableing and what not, then he asked what all the commotion was about. the noise died and 1 reporter spoke up,
we believe your fake, you dont know anything about trucks, not to mention you didint even go to college!!!
and he replyed with well then what do you want to do?
they said they would like to ask him questions and show the world that he was fake, he replyed with ok, go for it.
shocked they thought about what to ask.
one reporter asked how many bolts does a turbocharged engine cylinder need? (idk if thats a real part but i dont remember exactly what part he asked about) henry scratched his chin, rubbed his head, pressed his button to call his secretary then asked her to send in the engine specialist. when the engine specialist came in henry looked at the reporters who were staring at the person who just came in and said, ask him..
the reporters repeated the question and shure enough the man answered it within the first 20 seconds. after he finished replying he left the room.the next question came,
how much gasoline does your ford 1800 (not exact model) hold?
henry scratched his beard, rubbed his head, then pressed the button for the accountant, then said send in the truck specialist please. thats when he was interupted by a reporter who said
SEE THIS MAN KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE TRUCKS HES MAKING!!!!
henry told his secretary to forget his orders and told her to have a nice day, he turned to the reporters and said. i dont know how my cars work, i dont know how many bolts a turbo charged enginge cylinder or w/e has. but i do know what i want. and how im going to get it.... the reporters awed and left for they had been proven wroung.steveA my mom used to work almost 14 hour shifts, that was when i was younger. now i see so much of her she gets annoying. she has her own home based buisness, its called prepaid legal. she makes as much money as she did before. (she was an LVN and made aprx 1000-2000 dollars) a week. but this time she has to do less work and now she sees me more often (good in some ways, bad in others.) the whole point is. you dont really need a college masters w/e to be wealthy. bill gates didint have one. well anyways its been nice debating you. i changed my signature.

in todays society you really dont need an educationAnd then you relate a story about the guy who started Ford 100 years ago! I also know all about Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Anything is possible, but the probability that you have their skills, and wind up in their situation with their opportunities, is very, very small. You might as well buy a lottery ticket.This reminds me of the kids who say they don't need school, or they can use college just as a stepping stone into the big leagues. They'll just play in the NBA, and they'll be all set. They don't realize that the chance that any good young basketball player will get into the pros is vanishingly small. After they don't make it, they're left with nothing.You don't just go to school to get a piece of paper (although you'll have a pretty hard time getting a professional job without a college diploma). Education actually makes you a better person and a better citizen. It trains you to think in certain ways that are useful in the real world. And learning to write will serve you well for the rest of your life.I'm glad that your mom is making a nice living. The economy changes, and jobs like hers come and go. The idea is to be able to adapt. On the other hand, you'll make more than that with an engineering, law, or medical degree, since income seems to be important to you.This is old-ish data (from Forbes), but it makes the point:Average income for full-time year-round workers with a bachelor's degree, 1997 to 1999: $52,200Average income for full-time year-round workers with high-school degree, 1997 to 1999: $30,400Unemployment rate for bachelor-degree holders, 2001: 2.2%Unemployment rate for high-school graduates, 2001: 4.2%If you don't even have a high school diploma, things will be really difficult. If you accidentally make a baby, things will be really, really difficult.> you dont really need a college masters w/e to be wealthy.No, you don't. You don't even need a job. You might win the lottery or get drafted by an NBA team or just get lucky. But your prospects will be a lot dimmer than if you do have a degree. (How did we get from high school diploma to master's degree?)> bill gatesIt's good to have heroes, dreams and aspirations, and you might be the next Bill Gates, but I doubt it. Good luck, but if you don't get an education, you're shooting yourself in the ass.Keep in mind that Gates, who came from a wealthy family, didn't just say, "I'm not gonna go to school! I'm gonna get rich!" He went to college, and when a great opportunity presented itself, he left. If the opportunity (which in many respects was a product of the specific time that Bill Gates was in college) hadn't come up, he would have gotten his degree. I'm pretty sure he would have found success, even with the Harvard diploma.I wonder how many people Microsoft hires for high-paying jobs who don't have a college degree? I'll bet not many.[As far as the sig is concerned, jokes work once. Yet in your sig, the same joke appears over and over and over. Do you see a problem there? I wonder what the blondes think.]

While it's true that people who seem lucky have often made a lot of their luck, by recognising opportunities and seizing them when they come, and by being energetic, far-sighted, imaginative and bold, it's also true that pure chance also has a big effect. People who have done very well for themselves like to think it was all due to their own skills, just as the parents of a well-behaved child like to think it was all due to the quality of their parenting. The parents often get a shock when the next child comes along, and sometimes the businessman finds his second great idea doesn't have the success his first did.Two people can both have good ideas and follow them up equally well, but one may have a strong competitor, who had the same idea, and the other doesn't; one may have legal troubles the other doesn't; one may have problems with supply or distribution that the other hasn't. Even as an employee, all sorts of things can go wrong that are out of your control and couldn't be foreseen - a boss who steals your work, a manager who ruins the firm, and so on. Life doesn't simply reward us on our merits, and many of the successful businessmen owe their position largely to good fortune.

Anything with whiny American whores - Mariah Carey for instance. Although if I was a women that wouldn't do anything for me. Unless I was a lesbian.Personaly Marilyn Manson's Tainted love has something raunchy about it. Let's face it, you don't want to be romantic, you just want to get laid - in which case "Use your first and not your mouth" might be good - if you want to be adventurous and use your first and not your mouth on her of course.That concludes my posting today. Not one post was nice. EAT MY SHIT YOU CUNT DRIBBLES. The Lanson makes me aggressive.
