The author made the absurd proposition that if it is, then success can be achieved by going to a society that is so low in comparative terms that we will achieve instant status and therefore instant success.

I agree with Purplekiss,
Why would you pay 12% on a personal loan, maybe 14% coz no security for it when you could fix your mortgage on about 7% for the next five years??

I certainly would prefer to pay the scum bags at the bank less, not more… You would have heaps more flexibility when it comes to getting hold of the equity you have…[Read more]

AAAhhhh Red love….

I agree, chocolate must be a vegetable…
I love it too much fo rit not to be!

No worries Kay.
S’pose I just wanted to reinforce to people that you can be successful with your life with other things than money.

I have a cool email called the Mayonnaise jar and a beer.

A professor stood up in front of a class and brought out a large mayonnise jar and filled it up with golf balls. He asked the class if it was full and the…[Read more]

Wagerup, is that near those dodgy suburbs of Calista and Parmelia at all? If it is or close by, they are seriously feral down that way. I didn’t think it was possible but I bought a car from down that way and dad pulled over to grab a wrench out to hang on to while driving…. Hmmm….

Exmouth,
The last thing I remember of it was watching the houses go past in the back of an ambulance… I saw that most of the houses had dirty big slabs of concrete on their roofs to keep them down during a cyclone.

Lovely place to visit, but not so sure about living there. Lots of tourist opportunities but not too sure about sustainable job…[Read more]

Ted, I’m not too sure giving them a whack would be the answer as these days it just isn’t a threat to them. The kids know their rights too well and would be quick to have lawyers up at the school. (If you honestly don’t believe it, DO! Coz it happens…)

I dunno, It’s such a shame that in todays society we have people who believe they are owed…[Read more]

Oh yeah, superted, you said it baby, money can’t go with us to the after world, can it?

Spend within your means and enjoy your life and others lives around you too.

Aww cheers guys.. makes me wanna cry.. I’m not one of a kind though. I have a whole school of people like me that experience the same things. I believe it is the reinforcing of values (admittedly Christian values) that is what guides me to helping these children. As some of you know, I teach in a Catholic school and it is totally different from…[Read more]

I want it! I want it! I want it NOW!!!!

Whatever happened to the saying “I want never got”? I tell that to the kids here at school all the time. Anything they do they have to earn it.

But as someone pointed out earlier, it is easier to shut them up thatn to talk to them. Shame parents or carers don’t talk to their children as much anymore……[Read more]

Hi guys, this thread kinda relates to the one I put in Opinionated about success.

SBS’ insight program was talking about it and how ppl do feel like they need all those things to feel successful. Its a shame really. I mean as much as I would love lots of lovely things, I am prepared to wait for them and work towards them.

At school we are…[Read more]

Perth Perth Perth…. I love that city. Sigh….

I don’t actually miss living Though.

Ummm, People have named some quite good suburbs but have forgotten the north eastern suburbs from Morley pushing out to the swan valley. Some of those are relatively new and others old but still have excellent access to everything.

I’m still a Morley advocate…[Read more]

oops, sorry, I think I lost my point there. [baaa] I mean, termites might not be a big problem to some if they have the right connections of skills to be able to deal with the problem. Whereas other people would find it an overwhelming prospect to replace a beam in the roof.

It gets down to everyones situation and making sure you look at your…[Read more]

yeah I dunno,
Like PK says, it depends on the damage and they were eradicated. Personally I like buying cars that need new engines coz then I know because I have fixed it, it will last the distance. I never buy a car with a good engine but a crap rusty body…. Kinda relates to real estate… i think….hmmmmm…..

ohhh, where do I start….?
* Parents that expect their children to be valued citizens of society yet believe the education system can provide it for htem and that the childrens behaviour has absolutley nothing to do with the fact that the kids watch their parents drink themselves into oblivion, smack up their partners, choot up in the kitchen or…[Read more]

Derek, as much as I use the multiple intelligences theory from gardner and blooms taxonomy for questions, I don’t think it is really that relevant to studying. It is hard enough to comprehend when putting it into practise than to study that as well as the course too!

As much as i value that theory, I really can’t see it helping someone study. It…[Read more]

I like the response from whoever that said get your parents to live with you! My mum’s mum lives with her and dad and it has it bonuses. Also, if you are contemplating a bub, perhaps to chip in for rent, if wifey still wants to work part time, ur parents could babysit/child care?

It would save you a heck of a lot of money and the child has…[Read more]

geez there are some real twats around aren’t there?

Thanks to all who have shared, it has made me realise to not leave ANY stone unturned when it comes to IP’s.

Dear oh dear… Oh yeah, it’s just like that case of the bloke who was drunk at a pub, he walked out on to the street and got hit by a car. He sued the pub for letting him get too…[Read more]

I would like to think Cremin and I will buy investment properties through the eyes of a tenant. Mainly because we have been tenants for the last 8 years adn have lived in some absolute holes!

Whether that means it would be emotional or not, I am unsure. I would like to think any place we bought would be nice enough for us to live in. Not a…[Read more]
