MR,

We don't have any negative intentions. We just want you to know that on a site such as this, you find many people with the same interests but most are at a professional level.....meaning we use proper grammar and thoughts before we post. We enjoy sharing about our cars and also off topic talk.

We are not in position to ridicule you or make you feel sorry for joining this forum. We hope that through this site and the advices given, you should be thinking about a realistic future. The careers you have are the dreams of all teenagers...car designer, flight pilot, etc....not that it's bad or anything. I'm just saying that you should seek your interests and combine it with the reality of life...like how you will make a living and be able to buy an NSX with your paycheck.

It's okay to take a stumble here and there seeking the right career, but be prepare to stand up and go again.

Chill out and have fun on this forum. Don't make others feel you are having a hard time talking with people.

Think of it this way Raven....HALF of all the advice you will get is BS. Unfortunately, YOU have to figure out which half! That only comes with age, experience and wisdom. If you were born with a good dose of common sense you may be able to speed things up a bit.

Should you take others advice? Never hurts to listen. But you have to make the decisions that will affect you and live with them. Learn to heed your own advice. Know what? After a while you'll get pretty good at sizing things up. ALWAYS keep an open mind but have also have faith in your gut. If you F-up, learn from it. If you succeed, aint NOTHIN like that feeling. And you'll want to feel that again and again. It's addicting! And you'll build on it. That's how it works. Remember, you can ALWAYS find different points of view about the same problem. The only way to get good at making wise choices (such as whose advice to take and whose not to) is decide.

I think most of the people on this board have good intentions. Many have worked hard and done well. Offering genuine advice is a way of giving back that makes a person feel good. While I understand the issue of grammer, I also see your point that you adhere "when it counts." This is an example of function and form. "Function" means you get to your point quickly (which is a GREAT trait for an entrepreneur by the way) But "Form" means that you also need to conform or comply with a certain set of standards that others use to gauge who they are interacting with. To a degree, we all must do this in different parts of our lives. Do the people on this forum understand what your trying to say? Of course. But hear them....unless hanging out with your peers, things like spelling do count. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Oh yeah, one more thing, find a mentor, someone you truly have faith in and would want to emulate,even if he doesn't have an NSX. Good luck!
 
Raven,

Sorry to beat the grammar point to death, but what I was trying to say is that if you getting in the habit of using proper spelling and grammar at your age, it will become second nature when you get older. You will not have to think about it or use a spell check.

Just because you may not meet anyone here in your life doesn't mean you should throw out sloppy posts. To be successful, you should strive to do your best at everything, not just when it counts. Because, just when you don't think it counts, it will.

What 8000RPM is saying is that we all have friends who dream all day but never even try to achieve their dreams. You don't want to be that person. You want to be the person who says, "I want that NSX", but then asks, "Now, how will I go about getting it?"

Everyone here can give you advice based on their past experiences. But in the end, you gather up all the information, analyze it and make your own decision.
 
hey there, sorry if i offended you. the above posts say it more eloquently than I can.

I was only trying to encourage you to make a very important connection: 'know your audience'. Your posts would more than likely be fine among your peer group. Most of us here probably adapt our presentation to our situation. eg. my conduct at a board meeting is different than at a bar

In this forum you have people from all walks of life, but most have enjoyed some financial and professional success. This means we KNOW the impact of oral and written presentation skills, and routinely are required to judge people based on this. Quite frankly, you are not putting your best foot forward. When you enter the workforce, you may be surprised that academic success in most careers is not all that important compared to your communication skills. In ALL careers, the person who has both wins.

So, sorry to say that you need both form and function, and your form needs a little work. Hope that helps. Good grammar and spelling are habits. This is not any more a waste of time than the effort expended here to point this fact out.

good luck, and keep posting.

This thread has done gotten very really funny. As for me, in addition to being an escort, me also be a English teacher here in butyful Southern Arkansaw.

Seriously though, how many people thought it was funny reading posts speaking to the importance of correct spelling and grammar where the word grammar was spelled "grammer"? I did! From the book, How to be a Gentleman, "Never correct another's grammar unless you yourself are a grammar teacher." That's close enough to the direct quote.

All kidding aside, my sincere advice would be to get involved in the biotech field one way or another. If science is a strength... be a scientist in biotech. If interpersonal skills are a strength... get into sales for a biotech company. I predict that the next huge surge in the world economy that will rival the internet surge of the 90's will be due to biotech advances and new disease cures/prevention measures. If just a few of the things in the early stages of research pan out, the medical field will be completely revolutionized.

Another compelling field that will one day create numerous billionaires is alternate fuel sources. Once the world is completely fed up with the Middle East, there will be a huge push to make non-oil fuel sources the rule not the exception.

Too bad I'm not in biotech. For now I'll settle for selling supercomputers.
