Daniel replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"There is some good advice here. Why is academic success in such a small pool of people so important to you? Is the value of your life directly tied to how many people you beat in some university exams? Maybe you need to examine your purpose in life.…"
Rick Shelton replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"First of all be proud of your accomplishments not your innate abilities. One you can change or do the other was an accident of genetics (or act of God, whichever you believe). Second, you shouldn't be "showy" or a…"
WinterGuy replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"Can we still be showy and proud after failing or facing setbacks which slowed us down for years? Each time people rake up our failures when comparing or in arguments, how can we be sure and erase these self doubts that we arent as good, just like…"
Rick Shelton replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"Winter,
You learn from your mistakes. You made two mistakes early in your life. The first was you looked down on others who were not as 'competent' as you were. The second is you didn't pick yourself up, dust…"

WinterGuy replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"Just got the book Failing Forward, eager to get started on reading it after looking 5 bookstores for it before finding an available copy. :)
Thanks for ur insight Andre. :)

"Even the best and brightest people in history failed at one time or another. Failure happens to everyone, it what you do afterwards which makes the difference and it seems that you have learned something about yourself and can come out better…"
Mike D. replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"Having a setback is usually how people make progress. It's what makes them realize their plan wasn't working. It doesn't matter how you realize your values are flawed as long as you make a change. It would be much…"
WinterGuy replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"To add on, I was not such a nice person when things were going well for me as mentioned earlier, I was proud and complacent and despised people I deemed to be less smart/ competent.. It is more depressing that such an action made me contradict…"
Mike D. replied to WinterGuy's discussion How to start off from scratch and from where?"I suggest you start by reading John Maxwell's book "Failing Forward." You'll learn that everyone fails and you'll learn how to deal with it and what to take from it. There is always someone better than you, and…"

Brian Splash replied to Matthew L Weiss's discussion Umbrellas ok?"I always have an umbrella in my car , I buy the bigger ones from a golf shop they have a nice sleeve to keep them neat and when I do use it you can share it with someone walking in the same direction " that could not be any manlier ""
Jack Bauer replied to Matthew L Weiss's discussion Umbrellas ok?"Comedy bit that's actually surprisingly on topic. Even mentions the umbrella thing directly. Fairly profane ... not for sensitive ears. But very funny ...

Jay Moore replied to Jay Moore's discussion Dealing with an ex post break up"Right, thats what I was thinking... I know the watching the videos was a bad idea, it just confused me, I thought it odd for her to keep that stuff around.
She knows the text i'll answer, and some "hope you're doing well"…"
Jack Bauer replied to Jay Moore's discussion Dealing with an ex post break up"Seems she's less interested in you than she is in soothing her own conscience. You're doing fine. If she wants you back, she'll tell you. If not ... why bother?
Quit watching the videos, though.
