How would you want to become rich ?

Forget the means, I'm talking about the path.

  1. Invest and let the other guy do the work (Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn)
  2. Operate (Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg)

Would you rather be a hands-on executive, or the Chairman of the Board of the holding company that delegates everything to the other guy and you could sleep and be making money while your execs spend 18 hours a day.

Did papa teach you that ? Must've been what he picked up when he met your mom in Thailand, rumor is on the first night her snatch smelled like 4 tons of fish and when you came out it smelled even worse .

That's amazing, with all that pounding received by your mom one would imagine a golden cinder block's girth and width could pass through her snatch. It's a miracle you didn't fit. You were one of those special babies right.

"GoldenCinderblock" i've always been special.

I agree. You may not have had the wits or competence to make it far up the career ladder - otherwise there's no way you'd have the time to rack up 6,717 banana points wasting your life on a site where nobody cares about you or has 0 return on time equity. All those banana points sure do help the cv. Let me guess - you're just a desk guy in your late twenties who's realized it's better to settle as a desk guy because those extravagant dreams are out of reach for people with your kind of mindset anyhow.

I imagine you want more, but you don't have what it takes to get it, so you relieve yourself from time to time as a keyboard terrorist passing off-hand comments on this site just to feel better about yourself and blow off the dissatisfaction constantly looming in your mind about the lack of progress in your life/boredom.

Deep down inside you know you should be spending your time more productively but you can't resist because you've already come to a conclusion that it's easier to take the less effort intensive path and settle for anything. You feel like this may hit you in the long-term but you can't help but waste time because you decided to settle.

I've been on this site for more than 2 years and I have only 109 points. You've been here for 3 years and you have 6717 points. One can only imagine how radically different your life would be if you invested your time spent on this site on personal development away from the keyboard.

Oh, you're special alright. You're one of those types that never seizes the hour and lets the arms on the clock go around and around with 0 concern or a feeling of urgency.

Now as you all know there's going to be a lot of fuckin heat coming down from what Farrowtech did yesterday so be smart on the phone, calm people down, the stock's dropped eighty six percent from yesterday's close. I don't want people dumping their shares you understand?
