Valueable Of Directory

This is weird - the guy is 17 only.

Not so simple. Upgrades will not help without good idea and some cash invested.

My advice: SEOdir: if you like computing - learn as much as you can now.
You are young, learning comes fast. This is best time for that.

Do not sell your dir - it's always helpful for your other sites, even if incomes are lnot what you expected.
I'm sure after some time and with some knowledge you can do it more powerful.
Read a lot on PiO (you know where). Learn, learn, learn.
The guys there are much better in SEO than anyone here.
You will find me there too from time to time.

Best of luck to you, young man.

 

I don't think there is one good piece of advice in nemolist's long rant.

Good for you for trying, you are young and will probably have many successes and failures ahead. It is all an exploration for knowledge and experience.

Don't fall into the trap nemolist has of being bitter with failure and just settling for whatever safe 'job' comes along.

Here are some famous folks views on failure:

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Sir Winston Churchill

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas A. Edison

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. Colin Powell

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying. Michael Jordan

and my personal favorite:

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. - Thomas Edison

 

be wise, get education.

 

I'd say it's a bit inflated from the .gov blog spamming.
