SK you speak a lot of sense in your posts but if these guys mean nothing to you and you're only here for research purposes, why not leave the thread and get on with your research?

I just switched to Vista and it rocks - considering a RAM upgrade... Which will mean I'll need a new MoBo... Any suggestions?

Well, Kornowski, it's like this. Let me try and give it some perspective. I'm not trying to insult you or anything, just trying to get us on the same page.

First.. Proving something. I'll explain why it came across as illogical to me. To feel the need to prove something, one would logically have to assess that there would be a benefit in doing so, and that the cost would be worth the benefit.

You and I are nobodies. Yeah, you might have a small circle of influence, but you're a nobody in the grand scheme of things. The same holds true for me. There's no benefit in proving anything to you, PCeye, Intelcrazy or anyone. The cost is high, particularly in time lost, and there's nothing to gain in return. A little clout on a message board maybe? Big deal. At the end of the day, a message board doesn't matter a damn.

So get over yourself.

Second, I aspire to success. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm working my butt off to get there, and it's happening. Whether some teenager on the other side of the globe sees that, or some blubbering old fool in his basement in a different country sees that, is immaterial.

What matters is that I see that. That the people I work with and work for see that.

Success has nothing to prove. Success is what it is and I am what I am. People that are successful know success when they see it. You, Kornowski, are not successful. Imsati is not successful (in business anyways). PCeye is not successful. And ultimately, I only want to be in intimate conversation with those that are. The reason is that there's a lot to learn from them and it helps me achieve my end goal.

My goal is success in my business. Even my girlfriend takes second place to that and she knows it.

Now hopefully you know why what you said makes no sense to me. I work hard, I don't kiss butt and I pay my own way.

I state on a message board "this is my experience" to which some bumbling old fool breaks in with raucous comments, calling me a liar, stating I started at 14 and bashing Commodores. Can you see just how utterly stupid and ridiculous that is? I don't have time for fools anymore. Yes, I've spent more time than I should have in the past confronting idiots like that, but that time has come and gone for the most part. All it did was detract me from my end goal... Provided a distraction. In the end he's a waste of time, energy and finger effort.

Sharing my experience with WD and some immature little brat comes up and takes it as a personal attack, slamming me for attacking him, PCeye and others. The absurd thing was that he really thought I cared. I don't. Sorry. I shared that with people in hopes that they could learn something from it. The smart ones will. The fools will take it as an attack. Again, it's immaterial.

There is nothing to prove. You contribute absolutely nothing to my bottom line, same with PCeye, same with Intelcrazy, same with Imsati, same with others. The mature ones, the successful ones. They know. They understand. They speak less, listen more. Those are the people I generally associate with. They have wisdom. Some raucous old fool bragging about post counts isn't worth the wasted time reading their contribution.

I hope that makes sense. Success allows you to determine your own path. Who you associate with, who you date, what you buy, who you work for. Failure relegates you to attacking it in a forum.

Which would you rather emulate? Which would you rather aspire to?

A discussion, such as this, is not a "debate", it's not a "war", there are no "winners". When you think like that you become a babbling fool and you learn nothing. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

In the future, rather than making assumptions, ask questions. You'll get much further ahead.... And if that makes no sense to you then there's not much more I can say.

Success is relative. Relative to the individual and their past experiences. Whereas you yourself may only recognise business as success, others on this forum have their own different ideas of success - and you don't seem to be able to understand that.

By the way I'm 15, and I hope to have a business as successful as yours some day.

Excellent point. It's not that I don't see it, either. It's that a successful person (in whatever venue that person measures success) does not bash someone else for stating theirs, nor does a successful person take such statements as personal attacks. Therefore, in that regard and to that end, none of those people are successful.

Well stated, by the way.

A successfull man is a man that is satisfied with himself/herself, whether he earns a lot of money or not...Self confidence is the key, and also the success depends on possibilities... Why are you discussing who's the most successfull here, there's absolutely no point there.

How do you know this, can you prove it? For all you know, I could be your biggest rival company... You just don't know...

That's like saying you'd rather have money than friends... That really isn't a good way to look at life!

I'd have thought you'd know that, considering I do and you're twice my age...

It used to be that I thought the same way, actually. Until something occured to me, a "paradigm shift". If you're no good to yourself, you can't be good to anyone else either.

When you are successful, everything else follows. It's not really an easy mindset to get into, one I struggled with for a long time. When you're successful, you control your own destiny. When you're successful, you can provide not only for yourself, but for others.

If you want a good wife, for example, ideally you should be successful. If you're a failure, you won't keep her long, unless she's a failure herself... and do you really want a failure for a partner?

Thus, because I love my partner, I strive to succeed so I can bring her everything she deserves.

And the reason I know you're not successful is the way you've come across in this thread. That's all. I know how successful people act and react.

Never was I more irritated with a bunch of losers than there.. What exactly is your point?
