Hairline of Peace with a physique of Peace.

The only women he can get is those he use money to get.
They're only there for the money.

Behind his back they're looking for a real man.


If he added some muscle and maybe touched up his english a bit, then he would be taken seriously.

He should have shaved off all hair on his head or gotten transplants.

Dude is spot on about having to have passion.

Could you imagine a quaterback being remotely good if he was just doing his job.

It's unrealistically to have people wanting to work for free.

But if you aren't interested in what your doing your gonna be useless.

To be passionate about something you need to have goals. If someone has a job that pays the bills and no aspirations or goals on where to go from here on, he wont have any passion and ten years later he won't be far off where he was if not in the same place.

Hey lying sack of shit,

Let me explain you the truth about rich people.

1.Most rich people don't work more than the average person. In fact they work less. Who do you think works more - a Chinese worker in an Apple factory where they have 36 hours shifts or Steve Jobs who likes getting a blow job from Bill Gates while worshiping Satan/Saturn?

2. 99% + 0.1% of rich people were at the right place at the right time so that they can exploit people.

Note: By rich I am talking about really rich people. Not somebody who worked an extra shift and bought a car.

3.Rich people such as bankers, Wall street homos, politicians...etc. answer to dark occultists. Dark occultists are Satan/Saturn worshipers who control the world behind the scenes and you don't even know their names. High level dark occultists answer to Satan/Saturn itself.

I guess you will have hard time understanding this with your brain which is limited to inserting a dick in a whore's vagina and measuring you steroid biceps.

I would be interested to hear 2thick's views but my experience:

Most of them dont give a f about what other people think of them, so they wear what they like, many therefore are disheveled. But clearly not all.

Most of the ones I know are far from fat but dont really lift maybe do triathlon or similar

They are sharp regarding what is important as opposed to big business people who are usually unsurpassed political operators

Many of them spend a lot of time on holiday and delegate day to day operations, ie they let their money work for them while focusing on what is key

They surround themselves with people who think similarly and get shot on the deadbeats, the type that can often hide out in large firms.

Yes, for what this guy makes he can say whatever he wants...but in Capitalism there are people who want to work less, not money motivated, not as smart or driven, unable to work as much or as fast etc. Those people make less than those above them who would kill for a buck and some recognition.

That's the way it is...people at the top compound the work of those below and somebody ends up leading it. Whether they act like they fly coach or stay in the Motel 6 or work as much as middle management doesn't matter...that is all his spin to sell his story as to why he is on top and should stay on top.

Agreed.

Also - what this retard misses - if you only employ go-getters - you'll not have a functioning company.

You think the girl that does the payroll every month is a go-getter? The guy that cleans the toilets? The gal that chases up late invoices in AR?

There's a shit load of jobs that need to be done by people who see work as a means to an end. Not bad people. Not dumb people. Just people who aren't "chasing a dream". Maybe people who are basically happy with life and  aren't shooting for the stars.

If you only employ ambitious people - you'll have no-one to do all the dead-end jobs - which is basically 80-90% of all jobs anyway.

There's only 1 CEO - if you only employ people that want to be CEO - your retention rates are going to suck ass

I typically agree with all your posts or at the very least find merit in what you have to say, but I have to say that I cannot agree with that.  I went to school (not Uni) with a number of eminently successful go-getters (QCs before 40 / big US law firm partners pre 40 / multi millionaire businessmen).  They were supposed to be the cream of the crop, and have probably proved that to be true, but they are not as rare as 1 go getter in 10,000.

I do agree with you "enjoying life" comment, but I'd also add that for some enjoyment comes from fulfilment at achieving a goal more than having "fun".

Guess you’re back under another name already?  ;D


Bottom line, if you want to be a billionaire, I’d say listen to what self-made billionaires have to say. If guys on getbig say different or say that the billionaire’s an idiot or whatever, they’re probably wrong. :D

He obviously owns a large amount of stock / options. That’s how managers and pretty much everyone else get wealthy – ownership. Not by opting for large cash bonuses and sitting on it or blowing it.

Steve Jobs, Lee Iacoca, and Richard Kinder are well known for taking $1 salaries and making their money off stock and options and bonuses based upon productivity. That’s the kind of manager you want running a company you invest in.

I personally wouldn’t invest in a company where the top management had little or no stock ownership, and I’d tend to get spooked if they were selling large blocks. I’d never invest in a company like GE that gives the CEO “tenure”.  ::)

At his level, I doubt he even knows or cares who cleans the toilets or landscapes the building – as long as these things are done, they probably don’t even enter into his mind. That stuff is almost always contracted out at most companies, at least here in the US.
 
When he speaks about hiring go-getters, the best, etc, he’s thinking about managers, top manager candidates, MBAs, engineers, CPAs, JDs, etc. It’s part of his fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to hire the best and the brightest and think about the company’s future and a succession plan.

Any CEO of a publicly traded company who is worth a shit is well aware that the company is bigger than he, and won’t likely let his ego and insecurity keep him from hiring the best people he can. He knows that the board and shareholders can bounce him out if he’s not the majority owner. And he’s no doubt thinking about the future stock price even after he’s sitting in a rocking chair and he still likely owns millions of shares.

It seems like those who are the richest self-made get there mostly either by starting, buying, or investing heavily in a company that is very cheap and becomes very valuable and profitable – usually becoming publicly traded. Or by big oil strikes on land where they own the mineral rights or are leasing and drilling them. Or by asset management. Or perhaps real estate if they can do really well on big deals and avoid losing their asses during bad times.

The American Dream can be summed up right here IMO:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Hamm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Hamm)


Regarding appearances, a guy originally from my hometown who is a few years older than me co-founded a well-known tech company some 20+ years ago when he was still in college across the country. The company caught on when the internet was just getting going, and they went public. He’s long had a good 100 million shares, and is worth billions and is a brilliant guy. But you’d never know he’s one of the richest guys in the country - he’s physically very unimpressive, tends to drive relatively inexpensive cars that are many years old, and dresses like a bum unless his wife dresses him up.  :D

These guys' goal is to convince you that him being at the top and making 400 times what you make is a good idea.

If you listen carefully, for example, when asked how you ensure that this "right culture" percolates to the lower management ranks, he starts babbling things out not making any sense. He says something like "we have a meeting and we tell them what's expected". HUH? Dassit?

Bottom line is make money vs. lose money. You can make lots of money with a company full of mediocre people. In fact half of the American companies that move to India actively seek mediocre people as employees.

These people are trained, underline TRAINED, to define things in an extremely vague way, which they call "goals", and be as unspecific as possible. They have very little tolerance to being questioned, that's why when he says that they ensure a culture of meritocracy is implemented throughout the company via meetings, as absurd as it sounds (because it is impossible to implement/enforce via meetings/semi-annual evaluations, et cetera,) they expect you to believe it and not question it.

Little Hitlers. That's all they are.

These guys' goal is to convince you that him being at the top and making 400 times what you make is a good idea.

If you listen carefully, for example, when asked how you ensure that this "right culture" percolates to the lower management ranks, he starts babbling things out not making any sense. He says something like "we have a meeting and we tell them what's expected". HUH? Dassit?

He's not saying anything different from what Jack Welch used to say.

He's part of a group of 1% of individuals telling the other 99% of human beings on this planet that you would do better if you do what he says.

And he only gets to say it because many in the 99% group passively accept his bullshit.

There's very little new, sophisticated or ground-breaking in what he says. It's rather simple actually: He was chosen to be the distributor of resources in a company. Some of his decisions include laying thousands of people off in what are called cost-cutting initiatives, and he is well known for his cost cutting "ideas". He is so far removed from anything remotely human that it's no wonder his choice of words seem to insinuate he is not on the side of humanity. He has to.

Wouldn't it be A LOT better, more democratic, if the employees in his company got to vote on what's best for the company instead of having this fucking retard walk around pointing at US citizens depending on how much "merit" they deserve?

It would only work if the employees were shareholders. Corporations are not meant to be "democratic". If you don't like your job that someone else hired you to do in a company that you have no skin in, go find another one.

He's running things and telling everyone else what to do because he's smarter overall than they are and put more into it - at least in most cases, if not all. Of course some people get lucky, marry the right girl, play golf with the right rich old man, or whatever. Nobody ever said life was fair.

But there's no way 90+ % of the company's employees would be willing or able to do what it would take to fill his shoes. Most people want to be told what to do, collect a steady paycheck each week, and be home by 5pm.

Most don't have the brains, drive, knowledge, or work ethic to know what's best for a company or to be able to put themselves in such a position to know.

It's not funny at all.

It's the people he considers 'mediocre' that have it right in life.

All those "go-getters" - well - 9999 out of 10,000 fail. And the one that succeeds - well, that was just luck.

It's the guys that are enjoying where they are and not obsessing about where they want to be that are enjoying life.

Luck has very little to do with it. I'm busy succeeding in business. I can assure you, luck had very little to do with it. It's how plain, instantly forgettable people justify everything in life. Knowing what a slog it is every day, knowing what amounts of efforts you need to go to to get paid, pay your people, arguing tax payments, etc. I can assure you 'luck' won't get me past the first 5 days in my business. Won't help me in the first hour of any day. Everything is calculated, planned, recalculated, the recalculated again, debated to death, flushed out everyone's thinking before a decision is reached.

I'd love to lay in bed everyday and let 'Luck' run my business for me

Why would you allow mediocre, replaceable people to 'vote' what's best for the company? They have no information (probably no business intelligence either), no proven decision making skills that could have far-flung effects to everyone working there nor the experience at top level business. Ask the receptionist at InBev to make a call on buying Coca Cola? Gimme a break. There's a reason millions of companies go bust every year worldwide and GE surviving since the 1800s. You need leaders like Welch that poured his guts, soul and life into GE to contribute to what it is. Not small minded people that punch a clock

BINGO!!! Pure truth!!!

From a woman's perspective... Most women would rather be with a dynamic, impassioned man who is growing, reaching, striving and developing excellence in himself and those around him, than even the most jacked, ripped, bodybuilder who is average, mediocre or boring.

I'm sure Salma Hayek would disagree with your assesment, but I'm glad you were able to derive some humour from what must obviously be a very painful reality for those who put too much emphasis on developing their physiques, to the detriment of their intellects, personalities, mental, spiritual, or personal growth.

you really think this guy would even look at you?   ;D ;D ;D

Truth be told, ...I've never given it any thought. I really don't care if he would look at me or not?
If I ever got tired of being my own boss (not very likely) and had to resort to being an employee stuck in someone else's package, ...I'm pretty certain he'd jump to hire me.

Have yourself an awesome day!

ps: Hopefully one that doesn't include bitterness, jealousy and/or self delusion.
