    Well it's a very American philosophy. We believe in working hard. I guess we just have a stronger work ethic... Kind explains why we have the number one economy in the world.. Number 2 is Japan, which has an equally strong worth ethic.

    Run your own business and see how easy it is to get away...

    Albanian

    I'm not native to Wisconsin. Not a Badgers fan... Kansas and Missou would be my favorite teams in College...
    Beats loafing around all day making stupid posts....

    Still no apology?

    American philosophy? I don't think so. You've been conditioned too much to think like a slave and therefore you're acting like one, you are a slave to your mortgage company, to your car loan lender, and those things you buy on credit and you have to work non-stop just to make the minimum payments and when its all said and done you stress and you have no time to enjoy life. Sound familiar? You need to consider switching your "American philosophy" to "less is more" philosophy and I guarantee you your life will improve 100%.

    I do run my own business and a very successful one at that, thats why I can afford and have the time to leave whenever I please, money is not an issue neither is time. So I don't believe in what you said that if you run a business you have no time to do anything else. If you do it right you will have the time and resources to do whatever you want.

    So you speak 2 languages? Thats pretty good. Congrats. Its more than most.


    As far as an apology...for what? I do not apologize if I have done nothing wrong so sorry to disappoint you once again you aint getting one for nothing.

    I don't have car payments.. Never have..

    Imagine how much more successful it would be if you worked harder.. ;)

    One is generally all one needs... English is pretty much the international language.
    Of course you know what for.. You mean you do not remember your public tyrant where you cried for several days through several threads saying I had multiple accounts? You don't remember PM'ing me to harass me about this either?

    How soon we forget..

    You are wrong on so many levels. I'm sure anyone following these posts will see where you stand and where I stand and I'll just leave it at that.

    If I did not have anything better to do with my life and had 11,999 posts like you maybe I would have more virtual green too. But the kind of green I have is much more powerful than this virtual green you have buddy, know what I mean :) . But now I know (among other things) why you don't vacation much, and it ain't cause you are busy running a business like you said, it is cause you're busy running your mouth. :cool:

    Interesting that you are a rich man with tons of free time.
    Curious - do you run a business that would be considered "legal"?

    what would be the point? Sure, you could probably work 12 hours a day for 6 days a week, but what would be the point? Is life just about money for you? When is it enough?

    Who said I work 12 hours a day 6 days a week.. This like every other thread hyjack of guru-seo is an attempt to distract people from the original topic..

    I said I had a high work ethic... I did not say I work all the time. In fact I said I work M-F, never on the weekends, and always spend time with my family. I said I did not have a vacation, in the sense of a multi week/month get away. I've had no time for it. With my weekends off, flexible work schedule and son with me at work after school, I tend work less than most in that regard.

    Unfortunately, guru-seo has once again taken control of a thread and completely moved it to a topic that reveals his true desire; me... He likes me so much he follows me from thread to thread ranting, raving, and bringing up lack of interest in a vacation.

    The only thing remotely close to the topic in this discussion is the fact that many Europeans are envious of the high work ethic and family values that Americans have.

    Now can someone bring us back on topic? If my biggest fan wants to get his rocks off he can certainly feel free to start a new thread or a fan club centered around me...

    Dude it was honestly a friendly suggestion. You should work less and play more. Just try living your life with the philosophy "less is more" for one month. Give up things you don't need and you too will see that there is more out there and less in here.

    Good advise until you get to the last sentence -- were you pointing at your head as you said that? :D


    (Just in case you don't know - that was called a joke, hence the smiley.)

    There is nothing wrong with work. In the end, most people are judged by the work they leave behind.
