ARE YOU ORIGINAL A2Kr's Glad We Came, After All?

@HexHammer,

So, you are not prepared to discriminate between curiosity and a desire for information, and what you call "attention seeking". Someday, you might be ready for the distinction. But, not now.

@roger,

Everything has it's time.

Just that I am a ruthless efficient person, I make results ..when it is the results that counts.

I just checked and the average time a visitor spends on able2know has nearly doubled since Philforum joined us, so it's not just me.

Upper class, middle class, lower class...what does that mean ???
I have a noble ascendency (a Portuguese Vice King in India in the fifteen century, Afonso de Albuquerque) and yet my life standards are just like anybody else , I am not even rich, or better educated...

Up or down is about the way you fit the world and not about social symbols or status heritage...

Yeah, I love all things Monty Python.
I don't think the poster above me got the reference, but it's from a comedy sketch Fil.

Nonsense. Upper class is about being filthy rich, inbred and english. it is about fox hunting, marrying your cousin and worrying about the peasants, the poor dears. It is about survival of the unfittest because of tradition and status. It is unseemly for a gentleman to be too educated. A gentleman has two suits, one for funerals and one for audiences with the Queen...which leaves a problem if the Queen dies....the rest of the time one drives around in a sports car and a tweed jacket.

Clearly you are NOT upper class materiel.

Well, wisdom can be found in anything, and compassion is always good.

This is excatly where I disagree with most modern people, they think only a nice appearance can make compassionate thoughts, while I think being unemotional is far better and can be much more compassionate, as most doesn't have the guts to do what it takes, make unpopular decitions, because of limited resources, not side with anyone, not do what only makes you popular ..etc.

Unfortunaly I'v gotten too much success being unemotional in a big buisness, because no one else dared fighting an entier staff of chiefs, thereby making a task take 8-22h only taking 2-3h. Change the company sales software, all the PC into terminals ..etc ..etc.
Because I dared meddle in other's area of expertize, because I was loudmouthed and didn't care for poor oppinions, doing so without formal education, but the big boss would see the results, and results is what counts for him, not whiney chiefs.

..that's how you change things! Being nice doesn't change much as so many selfishly desire.

Hi Hex,
I'm sure that's an efficient business thesis, but I am not here to work, I am here to relax, throw my thoughts about, have fun, listen to others, make some friends along the way, and help anyone and everyone in any way I can - Because happiness promotes happiness, and I like being happy.
Be happy Hex.
Mark...

Be happy Hex.

That's very selfish words, great selfinterest, only caring for youself and your closest.

I havn't done any of these things with the desire of money. I did it because I had to, because I had the better knowledge of how to make people help themselves better.
Wouldn't you dispense some advice to the needy without expecting anything in return?

@HexHammer,

Well, we simply have totally different ways of being.

I think yours sounds highly arrogant and I choose to treat people and life very differently.

So it goes.

We could likely argue forever and never reach a conclusion, and this is a thread about neither of us and our different ways.
