Sniff at 6-figures all you like. I'm not particularly concerned by what you happen to find yourself to be "much impressed" with, actually. I doubt it would interest me. Suffice it to say, if what impresses you is founded in the same envious little metrics Laz and a few others have, I couldn't be less impressed with your sense of proportion or with your debating skills.
Actually, if you look back in the thread, Laz foolishly attempted to insult my own career accomplishments, thinking he could put me under the table (without knowing them of course -- a sure sign of a poorly prepared debater and loser who has a penchant for stretching his arguments beyong the scope of credibility). Of course, he just stepped into the mess he created in his own diaper.
"Green" is an unattractive color for either of you. Learn to become the CEO of yourself before you fall into the same trap of jealousy Laz can't seem to pull himself out of.
LOL!
Incorrect.
In message #121 -- WELL before my message in #189 -- you identify yourself as self-employed and exude a sense of financial success. My point was that perhaps you became self-employed because you view working for somebody as 'kissing ass' and that you lack sufficient people-skills to get along with coworkers or bosses. This seems to be borne out by your behavior on this thread.
And -- trust this -- your financial success nonwithstanding, I am by NO wise "jealous" of you. I make enough to do very well, and I'm sure glad I don't have your people-skill set.
Actually, I am #1 and am not #2. However, I am not so egocentric as to think that the well-being of my company does not depend upon the well-being of my client base - who are about 95% American residents. Therefore, even if I am doing just fine, I worry every day that there may be a bend in the road further along. As Andy Groves said, only the paranoid survive.
