db', for a while I thought you were quite an intelligent and well-natured guy.Quote from dbphoenix:
Glad to see you're your own megalomaniacal self, Jack. Just the sort of person a newbie would want as a mentor.![]()
Shame to see you've turned out to be yet just another flamer.
And come on, don't deny now that this post is nothing but a flame-bait / troll post.
One of the great wisdoms of life is that you never gain anything by diminishing others. The opposite is the case. Everybody has something interesting you can learn from. And as the (crucial) business proverb goes : "Always speak the highest of your competition."
Anything bad you say about others reflects back bad on you and you only. In fact, people are likely to go to the competition after you bad-mouthed them. I know, I've been in another very competitive business before and I still own that business. And not because I diminished others.
You should probably realize that you're in the same business as Jack (and me for that matter), and that you're doing exactly the same thing. You're diminishing the competition and their individual methods, like somebody who's just started off in small business. The problem is that in order to do that, you really have to have big guns up your sleeve. That means proving them wrong, proving yourself right, and then mopping up all the blood that's been spilled, I.e. reputation for aggressive behavior and the like.
It's much easier to just respect others, it saves you a lot of trouble. In fact, the opposite is the best - to synergize. This is what has the highest creative power. In the world of intelligence, the whole is always more than the sum of its parts.
I'm sure, yes I'm entirely certain that even you, as the absolute superior genius, can still learn something from Jack. And vice versa - he might be able to learn something from you. But by attacking, you end all the possibilities. You cut off all the options.
Think about it. Think about the power of synergy. Take an NLP course. Live every day to grow a little more.
Scientist.
