well there you all go, 94t has solved the meaning of life, 80% of people are in jobs they can't stand, making **** wages because they have a negative attitude about life and are lazy! So, just grab that positive attitude muster up some ambition and you'll be rolling in the benjamins by the end of the week. whew..... wut a relief. guess we can close this topic now as we have solved his problems.

Actually Mr. Cynical, 94t is on to something! A PMA will carry you pretty far in this world. Just try taking a gloomy intellectual attitude with you on a job interview. Chances are you won't get hired because they're looking for a perky "team player" with a smile plastered on his ignorant face.

I hate teams.



People that smile for no reason also annoy me.

My attitude is not gloomy nor cynical, it is however realistic, it's not realistic for me, but it is for the majority of the people in the US, 80% to quote 94t's statistic. If you think that the majority of us citizens are working in jobs they adore and don't feel they need more money you are wrong. People work hard because they want things if you read all my posts you will see that I do not want for anything i would like to simplify my life a bit. No matter how much money you make you won't be happier, you won't be less stressed unless you alter your perspective, you will always want for more, you'll always find an excuse to work harder. No matter wut you may think I am willing to bet there are very few people in their 80's that wish they would have worked more and spent less time with their family. If all you gather from the bit of sarcasm i posted was that I have a poor attitude and am lazy then you couldn't be any further then the truth, i am the happiest and least stressed i have ever been in my life.



I started my own business when i was 19, had 7 employees and busted my *** until i was 22 or 23, 12 hours a day and laying in bed at night stressing over every little thing. I bagged it because of the stress and went to school, i went to school for 2 years and worked, school from 7:30 to 2:30 and work accross the airport from 2:35 to 11:35 and i burned out. I've worked hard and played hard most of my life and I USED to stress over every little thing which got me no where.



I don't claim to know any keys to success, happiness or the meaning of life, i don't claim to, i know wut makes me happy and i know wut makes me miserable. I do know sitting behind a computer screen 8 hours a day makes me miserable and nothing could convince me to do it again. If you are happy and satisfied with wut you do then great, i am happy for you, the reality is, the only thing ambition will bring you is the want for more, more money, more **** more everything and the more you want the more complicated your life will become and the harder it will be to keep your positive attitude, when you want for something and you can't obtain it you will become unhappy, when you become unhappy everything in your life will seem shitty. It is the american way to WANT, ya gotta keep up with the jones'. No where did i say a college education was a waste, no where did i say that life sucks, i merely posed some sarcastic "wut if's" that may or may not make you reflect on your own existance.

Semantics! I do believe we are very nearly in agreement on this whole issue. I especially applaud your notion of simplifying. I have not been able to accomplish it to any significant degree. The houses keep getting bigger, and the projects more numerous.
