I thought you became a little sane based on your earlier post. But obviously, the Nicotine did not seem to have kicked in enough!!!!

Yes, I am selfish. I am selfish because I need to compete....I am hungry like any other Indian and Chinese Scientist who love USA. That is why we innovate.

In our kind of business unit (which is R&D), innovation is our business. Our business expertise is measured in the quantity and quality of our innovations, our expertise in organizing the business unit and managing it, our knowledge of analyzing the financial viability of a product line, the risk we might face with our business decisions based on our innovations and the associated rewards.

As per my company and my Director (a Belgian but a patriotic naturalized American), he thinks I have a smart way to manage my business unit (fyi...each business unit in itself is an enterprise...in massive technology companies like LU,INTC,AMD, QCOM etc). So if I am managing, analyzing my business unit's financial risks and rewards of my enterprise, I am sure he knows I am a better enterpreneur. That is the reason why I am a Lead Scientist today with in three months and at 27 years. No need for a "Nicotine addict" to tell lecture me about my enterpreneural skills!!!

Since you are a "scientist" and work for someone else

By the way, Scientists do not work for companies. Companies consult us, respect our feedback and pay us for the technology solutions we provide. Therefore a good scientist never works for someone else. He/she is consulted by companies. That is why our job titles are usually "Distingushed Member of consulting staff" "Member of consulting staff etc.

Yes, I am selfish.

Thank you for being honest.......however the honesty of your selfishness has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

You are entitled to your selfishness in your line of work - but have no right to it when it adversely impacts the line of work of others.

Ordinarily I would welcome one such as yourself who has chosen to immigrate to the US - in your case, at this moment in time, I cannot because of your total ignorance of the rights of private property owners and your lack of understanding of the rights of business owners. In order to enjoy the freedoms and rights of the US you must first learn to respect the rights and freedoms of others - something you have obviously not done.

Your comment regarding my sanity is nothing short of laughable and in fact I am still laughing about it - such inane repetition of the anti-smoker playbook rhetoric should be beneath the dignity of a self proclaimed "scientist."

So if I am managing, analyzing my business unit's financial risks and rewards of my enterprise, I am sure he knows I am a better enterpreneur.

An entrepeneur would have made a personal investment in the equipment and facilities required to perform his work. He would have personally raised the capital necessary to cover operating expenses; and that includes meeting the payroll for, say, 40 other people.

The founder(s) of the company may be entrepeneurs, you are not.

You have a budget you're required to operate within, this is not the same as being an entrepeneur.

You're a cog in a wheel, that's all, your obvious fascination with your own "intellect" notwithstanding.
