Thank you for your response, I now can say I understand where you're coming from a bit more, and I apologize if I degenerated into semantics or came across as lazy. I thought I was contributing a little to the productivity of the discussion by asking an honest question in order to better grasp the meaning of the article, but if I didn't and caused deviation instead I apologize again.
I enjoyed the article and found it interesting, the points you make seem valid. Knowledge building is definitely a good hobby to have, and I would also identify with the 6th one on your list, languages.
But my favorite has to be no. 7, Goal Review: '
We Guru’s keep telling you to do it, and all the time, I find people not f***ing doing it. But, that’s okay. Don’t cry when the person who took the time to write, “Find (Insert Your Name Here), and Kick Their Ass” on an index card, actually swings by your house and achieves their goals". Lol. That was funny. I guess I'd better go make some index cards now, just in case the person that wants to kick my ass did listen to you, Gurus.
On a more serious note, I have many more questions to clarify about concepts your article uses, but I guess being related to semantics I won't ask them here, to ensure the productivity of the discussion. So, although my understanding of your point of view is limited, I've deduced from your article that I am a loser. That's totally OK, I assume it was written for us, losers, anyway, as a motivational/educational tool for advancement to winner status. It's funny, I've never called or thought of myself as a loser before, but again, semantics...who needs it? It's just a word for "I'm not there yet, but I'm working on it", right?
