you're wrong.

There are many many people who've had to pull themselves up and have not gotten very far just like there are many people who've had life handed to them on a silver platter and have succeeded beyond measure.

To say one way is good for all is short sighted and illogical.

Why would you concentrate your energy and attention and waiste your time on the things that you have no control over?
In the end people who work harder will have more success then people who whined on the side lines all their life's refusing to participate in the system.

That is not always true. Working harder may just leave you with more bruises.

Sinse I've changed my attitude towards life I've gone from a 55 000$ a year man to a now very successful 100 000$ a year man. It works for me.

If this were true, most African women would be millionaires. There is a multitude of variables that attribute to financial gain. Situation is one of them.

Not everyone who works hard gets rich but there are other rewards.
There are no rewards to whining about how hard life is.

The original link summarizes the values of large multi-national corporations. I guess they must all be wrong.

And that describes why your such a loser, and always will be. Your attitude is that, Just because you will never be as rich as the Queen of England you are going to site on the sidelines pouting and crying, " well I'm not going to play if I have no chance at being the richest person on earth!!!

It's the ultimate soar looser attitude that most of the forum dweller's on here can't stand about you.

A lady in Africa that works her *** off at achieving survival is still going to be better off in the long run then a African loser like you who just gives up and doesn't try. Duh!

F**king around all day on these f**king electronic devices is definitely a mental disorder.
I have a mental disorder. It makes me f*cking mental when I see idiots in the emergency room tap tap tapping away on those stupid devices while they wait to see a doctor. if you're lucid enough to play on your f*cking phone, then what you have is not really an emergency situation. Quit being a puss.

words have power. If you don't believe this check out Stephen Fry's talk on how words are used during genocidal moments

Nope, Fry is dead wrong. Words have absolutely zero intrinsic power. The power they get comes from the listener not the speaker.
If I call you an extremely rude name and you react negatively, you've given me power over your emotions. If you simply ignore me and don't react at all because you could care less what some dipsh*t stranger has to say, then my words have no power.


Keep in mind I'm talking about adults. When it comes to kids it's a different story for obvious reasons.

If you call a child stupid the whole time its' growing up, guess what happens most of the time? that child believes they are stupid.

It works with adults too.

Words have power.
