but can we still bring the bread back home to the family at the end of the day if we choose to follow our dreams?it's a trade off.when u've nothing to worry...

wow, where did I even put words into your mouth.

But anyway, suits you. Won’t disturb yous from building your castles in the air.

Put on your glasses before you even attempt to ask questions..

before you actually ask that first question..

you already quoted my answer to the question which you wanted to ask..

I'll re-paste it here in case you failed to read it..

"I'm super sick to go back to the rat race" - don't know where to find >> go to page 4 of the thread, last thread reply at the bottom of the page..

i already said i'm not in the rat race..which is the difference between me from others..in-case you are so obessed into winning..

plus: you are putting words into other people against their will, something which Eagle did previously..I never once said i'm a guru..- which I have bolded the text already..where is the proof/quote if there's any..

haha, so easily agitated one.

In case you can't read, I wasn't even asking you about the rat's race. And in case you can't read again, the question is:

"If one thinks like so many others, what will set one apart from the rest?"

How is your answer even related?

"I'm super sick to go back to the rat race"

That's tantamount to asking if the weather is good, and you tell me you had replied earlier that your lunch tastes nice. Did you pass primary school English? Looks like you are the one who should be putting on your glasses properly

Also, I don't see where I put words into your mouth. Even if you didn't say you are a guru, does calling you one means I'm putting words into your mouth when I'm the one who's calling??? But seeing that your command of the English language doesn't appear to have passed PSLE, I shall let you off. I mean, there's no point talking to someone who can't even understand basic English.

Finally, is there any reason why you would think I'm calling you a guru? Did I even mention that the_fallen is a guru??? Are you so self-centred that a mere mention of that word "guru" means it must refer to you??? Talk about putting words into others' mouth? You seriously fail big time.

i already said i'm not in the rat race..which is the difference between me from others..in-case you are so obessed into winning..

What a big generalisation of others. What makes you think you are so great that you are the only one posting here who's not in the rat race? Wow! Another proof of your self-centredness!

And who's obsessed about winning? You? I thought this was a discussion! Add that to the fact I was merely asking a simple question. By talking about it, it's obvious that you are obsessed over it. Even better, you prefer to continue in your posts at the expense of looking like a good-for-nothing.

given your high level of wisdom and intelligence, if you cannot infer from that phrase..that goes to show how intelligent you really are..

if this is a discussion, it should be directed to general and not targetted to a single person etc..

it was a discussion until you guys mess it up and going into offense..

i'm trying to ask other users about their ideas and expand the ideas, while you guys are getting narrow and keeping it to a single perspective..that's what you call a discussion?

i will not even turn angry at this forum...there's a in depth meaning to why i choose this user nick previously..

when you say my english is not good..when what's your understanding of composition and comprehension? (since you said PSLE so its basic english skill to use PSLE english standard to reply back to you as shown below)

when you said "P.S. A guru who talks about the rat's race, yet could not identify that I'm asking a question, really makes my day :)" in this thread posting, and the later half of the phrase is directly specifically addressing to me (bearing in mind, nobody else in this thread did you even ask others of this question), when i rebut you..that is a indication of you trying to beat around the bush without saying its me..

PS: in case you don't know the meaning of quote a person in forum..it means that you are replying in direct response to that user..

speaking about good english.. dotz...

What a weak attempt at replying! I really give up on you.

Beating around the bush indeed. I asked a simple question, and you beat around the bush for so many posts, and till now, I have not received any reply at all.

By the way, your post is full of grammatical errors that a PSLE won't make. Speaking about good English? I guess you don't even realise where you make mistakes. Go pass your PSLE first.

And on my second question, it appears that you can't answer:

Even if you didn't say you are a guru, does calling you one means I'm putting words into your mouth when I'm the one who's calling??

Come on, where did I put words into your mouth? Did I? Or are you the one putting words into my mouth?

That's total rubbish. You accused others of flaming and attacking you when views and opinions differ greatly. You looked upon yourself as being challenged. Then you proclaimed it is a discussion that others cannot follow and are getting narrow, when all the while, you are clearly the one who's flaming and attacking others for doing so.

What a big joke! With this behaviour of yours, I can't see how you would ever be a good leader or business owner, simply because you can't accept differing opinions!

Blatant self-centreness. The P.S. is addressed to you, the whole phrase is addressed to you, but by saying "a guru" when addressing to you, does it mean it must be you?

I would have used "you are the guru that..."

You have said your piece, and I've said mine..

Our views clearly is on completely different frequency..much the less about understanding..

Who's right, who's wrong, is not for us to say/decide for ourselves..but for other fellow users to judge and they themselves will have the answer..

with regards to my english..do note that this is a forum, not a examination, i don't really need to type in perfect english etc..i just need to type/write in a forum standard which the forum understands..

if you think this is bad..ask the long regular forum users of sgforums..back in the early days of this forum..the english is much worse..simply put it..there's no english..only +1, NPNT, picture with texts inside etc..in case you don't know the chances of this forum..considering your period of stay in this forum.

if you want to twist your words here and there, by all means, please go ahead..i'm not going to play with you..since it is my practise to only clarify and offer quality replies and postings as compared to gossips and useless posts which most users are contributing..

Having said my point, that's it.

PS: You remind me of somebody..in another previously popular sgforum "forum" in the past..

You know, the mark of a loser is:

"Because someone else did it, why is it that I can't do it too?"

And this is what you said:

When I pointed out to you that your post is full of grammatical errors, a slimy you decided to give an excuse that

Little boy, you want to get out of the rat's race, you want to be own a business, then you take responsibility for your own mistakes, not give excuses.

Let's see the other traits you possess:

1) Asked for a discussion, yet differing views and opinions are labelled as flaming and attacking posts. You only wanted to hear things you wanted to hear.

2) Accused others of beating around the bush, when you are the one who's beating around the bush, unable to answer a simple question posed to you. Remember that all along, you were calling for a discussion.

3) Immediately assume that you are different from the others because you are not in the rat's race.

4) Assume that most other users are contributing useless posts and gossips. Look at wee_ws and eagle and the rest of the homework forum moderators. They are contributing so much to Homework Forum. What have you? Zilch except a load of bull.

One really wonders, since it is your practise to only clarify and offer quality replies and postings, why is it that your postings mostly stinks of giving excuses, labelling differing opinions as flames, poor usage of grammar (quality?) and heavy self-centredness? A really big joke. This is most likely another self-centred post from you, that your posts are of quality, and others aren't.

Yup, we shall let other forumers judge. Do bear in mind your posts of generalisation above has basically attacked most forumers. Every extra post you made merely dig a deeper grave for yourself.

see, other users can be the judge..when i offered to have a netural win-win situation for exit..while you are still dwelling on the issue which i already stop mentioning in the last post..

refer to the last post of page 5 whereby i didn't mention anything about you..except to let you carry on with what you do best.

here you are again, trying to pick up problems which you presume i have..it is you who cannot let go..not me..

as for quality posts..and threads..find out yourself which type of forum i'm more active in sgforum..i'm myself, i will not sell myself nor do i even have any need/ hidden agenda to tell the world the hardwork which i've contributed..as i don't need to win at all..

time will tell who's right who's wrong..

i've seen people who got much worse personalties and characters in real life..so i'll stop at here..at least by not replying to your thread replies/posts in particular..

to avoid the situation of "the pot calling the kettle black" giving all other audience the laugh of their time..
