Curious Carole Posted November 13, 2000 Share Posted November 13, 2000 Tony, I notice you are responding to the forum day and night with very good advice. I was just curious to know what is your profession and eduactional background? How can you afford to dedicate so much time and energy to the forum? Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted November 13, 2000 Share Posted November 13, 2000 I am a real estate investor, I own an advertising agency, and a political consulting firm. I work my own hours and I work smart. I learned early on in college that the amount of work you do or the time spent does not necessarily translate into rewards. In college I could take a three hour course, have to write five papers, take four exams plus a final and get a "C". During the same semester, I could take a five hour course, attend only the first class, write one paper and take a final and get an "A". So for those who think you have to work your butt off to make money, this is true only because you believe it's true. $10,000 invested in Cisco Systems in 1990 would be $7.5 million today. $10,000 invested in America Online in 1996 when they were having serious connectivity problems and lawsuits because of oversubscription is now worth $550,000. So if you use your intuition, have some guts, you can make all the money you want, even while you're sleeping. I make my living very smart and make time to do the things I want in life, while I am alive. One thing I enjoy doing is posting here. One of the meanings I get out of life is offering service to others, and I consider what I do here part of that...whether it helps people or not, I do my best. I don't really dedicate a lot of time and energy to this forum. It only takes a few minutes to answer a post. I took typing in high school...was the only guy in the class...Mrs. Prendes' typing class...she loved me and so did all the girls. Not only did I get a lot of dates there but I learned to type my replies to LoveShack very quickly...although the Internet wasn't even thought about back then. In college, I never had to pay others to type my papers. I hope I have answered your questions. Link to post Share on other sites
