Your worthlessness is noted. And just because you didn't get your way, child, does NOT mean there is anarchy here.

Reevaluate. Helps to go over things a second and third time over time.

FYI, all boards have rules or bi-laws so 1 person doesn't decide all like an anarchy.  Some common sense.

I want to eat your rooster, fyi.  Making me hungry.

I believe me being honest and upfront about my arrogance show balls that a kid won't have and me being 28 throws that hypothesis right out the window.  Common sense.

My income is a million a year at age 24 and now it's over 5 million a year, and next year I expect an increase and I'm only 28.  What took you to your mid-40's I could do right now at age 28.  Ask yourself who is your superior.  By the way you mentioning your superior than me shows you are arrogant.  The difference between you and me is I can admit it and I recignize it.  You were saying?  Glad to see another successful poster! 

Personally, I like successful people and success stories. I, too, am successful professionally. However, it's also important to me to be successful socially and spiritually. Pride and condescending arrogance are NOT virtues and will stand in your way as major roadblocks in other domains of your life. Good for you for your financial success. Now learn to treat other people with dignity and respect, learn some humility, and strive to be a successful well-rounded person and THEN people will you consider you a man. Until then, I assure you that everyone who knows you in real life sees you the same way we do: as a spoiled little twat.

QuoteI was the head office executive in that corporation while a sophmore in high school

How does one get a position like this while still a sophomore in high school? Not trying to be condescending, I'm just genuinely curious is all.

My father recommended me to another distributor or business franchise owner.  It's a family business since the early 50's, and I was basically trained at age 5, which is when I started going into my fathers office and learning the business.  I learned it from both my uncles, my father and my Grandpa.  My family is the best in the business and just my name got me in the door, my interview and professonalism, and knowledge did the rest as a sophmore in high school.  I far exceeded expectations and left that company to turn around my family company that my father mismanaged, when I was 18 going on 19, right after graduation.  My father started when he was 15.

Funny.  See my employees love me due to me paying for their health coverage 100% and giving year end bonuses that are in the thousands and free gifts at Christmas.  My father and my other uncles are now millionaires due to me, because I'm very generous with payroll.  I make it my goal as a business owner to give back to my employees and to make sure they are happy, while keeping order that my employees will NEVER dare challenge. 

My best friend has asburgers and has the biggest heart I've ever known and my other friend was in a car accident and has a disability also, but also has a huge heart, and those are my only 2 friends.  I'm very selective.  They will never ever treat me bad and are what one would consider true friends.  I don't surround myself with phony's.  I'm only arrogant when it comes to my work then I flip a switch and I'm my normal self at home in the real world.  I made it my goal to be that way because I've seen to many people make work their personal lives.  That's the biggest mistake one could make. 

I announced my arrogance here so one would think twice about challenging me.  I knew some would though and I respect that.

I decided that after careful review of your "adult" observations. It helps to listen to the site owner before you demand ANY thing --- PARTICULARLY the first day you're back after a mandatory time-out.

Your class photo is ready, junior.

I find it interesting that you mentioned being challenged twice. It must be difficult living in fear of being challenged.

I retired because I had accomplished all I ever set out to do, owned several businesses, all started by me from scratch, all extremely successful. I have no doubt I've done more and accomplished more by the time I was 28 than you can hope to in a lifetime. Did you spend the first part of your life in the Military? I did, meaning I had to start late, and still succeeded.

Oh, and I didn't have a sugar daddy to cradle me, I started with $8.00 and turned it into a million.
But it's not the money that makes a man, it's what he does with his life in the interim that proves his worth.
You claim to be a Conservative, but you're young and are experiencing a completely different America than the majority on this forum, most of us grew up with Conservative values, and becoming rich was never part of that value system, "for a mans value is only worth his word" Break your word, and you're worthless.
A motto I live by.

The reason I pointed out my success was not out of Arrogance, as was yours, rather to point out the fact that you have no idea who is on this forum, and believe me, there are others on here that put your small ambitions to shame, including accumulative wealth.

"Arrogance" Overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors.
And that's exactly how you came off with your first post.

I point this out, because in order to grow into being a man, one needs to temper their arrogance, let your words and actions reflect who you are, and you'll find that success is by far sweeter than you could have ever imagined.
There is more to being a Conservative than being a capitalist.

I don't live in fear of it.  At work I don't tolerate it and if you challenge me I fire you.  On here it's at your own risk, but if you can hold your own should be some good intelligent conversation!  I look forward to it.

I didn't get hired by that distributor due to my father I just got the interview, a multi interview process that I needed to prove my worth to the company, which I exceeded as a 15 year old.  Regardless of how you look at it probably a handful of people in the USA can claim that success at that young of age.  Also, my actions in real life as I explained above prove my worth as a man unlike 1 post. 

Also, you started out in the military then owned businesses?  You had more than 8.00, you had military pay.  Anyways, I'm not going to deminish your accomplishments you've earned them. 

I plan to do something big with my money at my retirement in about 10-20 years.  Should have $50 million - $100 million by then.  I'd like to give back to the USA somehow.  Plenty of time to decide on how to do that.

Nope, after paying bills, I had $8.00 left over, I headed to the print shop, bought stationary and business cards and started another business.
Too many people assume it takes thousands to start a business, when in truth, all it takes is hard work.

It takes money to start a business, and yes thousands, because you srat out as a sole propriotor, which means you have to account for personal expenses.  The office unless it's out of your home is minimum $500.00 a month and same with an apartment unless you ahve a roommate, but that would require less in home office space.  There's ways to make your overhead cheap, but $1,000 is usually required.
