Sad, but once again it is only MY opinion.

Ok .... plenty of people have the "balls" to post on this forum ...... its the retaliation they don't like .....like your above ...
It started with possible employers (interviewers) not seeing your "point of view" and ends with the forum members not having the balls to say what they want to you ...... some similarities there or what .......... but anyway cheers hey ......

Recipe for happiness with credit to Max Moyo:
Positive energy can move mountains. What are you enthusiastic about?

The root of the word enthusiasm is entheos. It literally means "God Within." Just think, when you feel enthusiastic about your dreams it means that God is speaking through you and saying "yes" to your goals! The feeling of enthusiasm is one of the ways your intuition speaks to you. What makes you excited, happy, delighted? What do you look forward to each day? Do more of it!

Blurock, I would love to meet you. I would like to show you what I have achieved in my life. I do not require a job from anyone as I have decided to start my own venture as I mentioned before. Yes, there was a time that I thought that I would have to work for a "Boss". You and I have shared some private mails & calls so you probably know me a little better than the rest.

It is not in my nature to boast but I can thankfully say that I do not owe anyone for my house, vehicles & motorcycles.

So, I have never waited for anyone in my life, but not everyone has the ability to be self employed. Have you ever spared a thought for those that are employed and those who can easily be left out in the cold.

I can see that so many that have commented on my threads have tried to "analyse" me and place me in a bracket or group that they think I fit into, All I can say is that you'll be surprised.

Just a quick reminder that we should be playing the ball and not the man, folks. I see some assumptions in play here that aren't helping any.

Jan - with all due respects but if I may ask and I ask this as a general question as if I am asking myself as well - Do other people really care what a person has achieved and do you think that people really analyse other people on a forum ? Or do they perhaps just comment on what they think about a thread that one posts ?
The same goes for everyone on this forum - not many people know what other people have "achieved" or not achieved and at the end of the day they don't really care. And again I say this with respect - I do not mean it in a derogatory way at all. What one person has done or where they have travelled for example means absolutely nothing to the next person who might believe that their achievements are different and therefore better !

When it has come to some of your postings - opinions are given by people (including myself) - some of the opinions should be accepted because they have been given by qualified professional people etc etc. or by people that have extensive years experience in their field. Personally I try to stay away from giving an opinion where I know absolutely nothing about.

Blurock, great post that & that statement "NEVER stop learning" . In this age one is left with no alternative, & so when my kids (+mid twenties) say that they're tired of studying, i say to them that they're learning all the time without actually realising it.

Ever since we've had internet, i've used outlook express for e-mails, and after falling a victim to crime and having my computer stolen, & loosing all my old mails & having those b.....ds reading all, i've changed to a gmail account and learning new ways of using this (with some difficulty i must admit)

What i would like to learn most is how to laugh. I never watch a comedy movie, nor can i get myself to watch one.

Thank you,guys,for listening to my most mundane post

Try popping past the Jokes Forum from time to time

It's one of my go-to resources whenever I feel the need to lift my spirits.

And I've found it's important to be in good spirits too. There's little doubt that "attitude determines your altitude", and being in good cheer is a great way to drive a positive attitude.
