No, not quite. I have never met someone who went around proclaiming themselves a winner who, in fact, was one. Not that I haven't heard someone say they won this or won that; that is a different thing entirely.
No, usually people who go around saying "I am such a winner!" are compensating for fairly substantial dearths in their own psyche or life.
OK, so you have as much as said that you would never nor have you ever declared yourself to be a winner at anything.
We have uncovered one lacking quality already: Your reading comprehension. Never once did I say I would not state that I won this or won that. But one thing I won't go around doing is crowing and strutting around that I am "such a winner". Even if my belief system ran that particular way -- and it doesn't, I try instead to be someone who improves the lots and lives of people around me -- that would be tacky, gauche, and would reveal a deep-seated insecurity on my part.
I have self confidence, but I don't feel the need to parade around with self-appointed tin badges pinned to my chest.
Have you never met yourself? Is knowing yourself that foreign a concept to you? It's little wonder that you don't have a clue what more you are capable of accomplishing in life.
You mistakenly think I can't read; however, I know for certain you can't write. That's why it is so easy for me to step back and watch you impale yourself and your arguments on your own words.
Some boss or other person tells you can can't be more than you are and you believe them, because you think they must know you better than you, and you don't know yourself in the first place. You'll let that view of yourself hold you back, and then you'll blame them for doing so. Then you'll resent it. Then you'll think everybody's in your sorry boat, and just as powerless to change their situation as you think you are. You'll imply that anyone like myself who escaped that treadmill must do it dishonestly.
But you never invested the time to know yourself or what you could do or be to improve your lot, and crawl out from under the opinions of people you resent for supposedly holding you down. In doing so, you have only held yourself down. It's just easier for you to go through life and blame other people for your perceived misfortune, and resent those of us who fired such "bosses" a long time ago and struck out successfully on our own. Blaming foreigners is the easiest. People like you used to blame enterprising immigrants for your inherent lazineness in generations past.
With every other silly statement you make, you are admitting to more ignorance not only about this topic: the "plight" of white collar America, but to a fundamental ignorance about yourself.
