You probably are decently personable (or you had to learn how to be) so a lot of this seems so natural to you that its almost silly to see it written down. But a lot of people, smart, dumb, and in between, simply haven't been taught these things in a world that doesn't go out of its way to show them to you.

Its like when people on this board whine about Dave Ramsey books being super basic or Richest man in Babylon being a list of fundamentals. Sure that's true, but there are tons of people that need to get that first drink of anti-retard-juice and if they want to read it we need to be handing out free PDFs at the fucking DMV.

It was written by a pathological liar that ultimately had his train of bullshit catch up to him, so take that for what you will.

I'm not saying you're wrong for focusing on your own competence at work, but you also need to think about yourself as a complete bill of goods. Unless you are uniquely qualified (10 years of PLC programming, plus a PhD in chemistry and 5 years in pharma manufacturing) there are other people that can offer the same skill set that you can. The trick is differentiating yourself from that pack with your unusual ability to make people trust you, be willing to help you with tasks because you aided them first, and demonstrate that trusting you with a customer-facing-role won't be an complete cluster fuck.

That your entire idea that somehow Nixon was viewed as "le ebul vietnam meaniehead" by the massive boomer-jugend voting bloc finally participating in their first presidential election is retarded on its face. Nixon explicitly campaigned in 1968 on a platform of ending the Vietnam War and bringing the troops home, a platform that was actually much more enticing to the wave of fresh boomer-voters than it was to the older generations. Let me repeat that in caps for you.

NIXON WAS THE PRO BOOMER, PRO PEACE, PRO YOUNG VOTER, CANDIDATE IN 1968.

And this matters because after he got in office, he killed the gold peg and his same voters not only approved and re-elected him, they NEVER demanded sound monetary policy again because they like fiat debt binges too much to go back.

Love and women are overrated.
What your feeling is societies pressure to make you believe it's all that.
There are a million things better to do with your life than worry about women and love.
Do you even love yourself? Cause if you can't then loving another is pointless cause you'll destroy it anyways.
Concentrate on fixing your life up first if you really feel you need to find love and all that jazz.
But at this moment your robbing ourself of the opportunity and chance. Your only 25. Your not even at the halfway mark and your giving up already?

If your gonna do it at least leave me something I can do worth while with your memory. I wanna make it reich with investments. I'll donate my earnings in the future to some lonely losers support.
