Making the most of what we have ....

Yes, I agree with you, David

I heard of that someone are not good at examinations but they are good at business such as Jack Ma.

In China or in the whole world, there are lots of billionaire without a degree.

Fine David.

To let you in on a secret, people with degrees and masters degrees don't look down on those who don't have them. We just want to be liked by you and to fit in with you.
I take each person as I find them and frequently find immense intelligence in all sorts of people.

Don't ever feel inferior to anyone because I doubt they are feeling superior to you, we are all full of our own insecurities.

With my academic mind comes a weakness in common sense and often an inability to fit in with the group or crowd because I don't reach the same conclusions as anyone else so can't move as one with the crowd.

As an aside we had a debate on one of my web sites about how smart should you be to be happy. I argued about 115 points is optimal. That way you can translate your thoughts to the man on the street. I frequently lose debates to fools as I am flabbergasted by their poor logic, by the time I have recovered they have hot me with three or four more absurd shots and declared themselves the victor and the onlooking crowd agrees with them.

My ex wife has an IQ of 140 points and she has never really been happy and is struck with anxiety as she over analyses the risks in her life and can't turn her mind off. I have an IQ of 130 points and am happier than her because I don't over cook my circumstances.

Don't project your own concerns about your weaknesses on to others - the others are too fixated with their own problems to have even bothered to form a conclusion on you.

If you do want to impress then simply focus on what is in your control and that is integrity. And having a good heart.
I care more about that in my potential friends than how many degrees you have.

Wonderful post.

Hi,


I do not have a degree in anything but it isn't my tendency to envy others with degrees.  I am happy that they can accomplish that in their lives.  What I find myself envying in others, is their lack of mental illness and health.  I find it is much easier to be happy without a mental illness as I am plagued by crying spells almost weekly.  I wish there was something that I could do to make myself happier but with my attacks happening every single day, it is easier to lose hope.


I wish you Hercules, all the success in your workplace.


And David, thanks for all your comments on my blog.


I appreciate this conversation the two of your are having here on this thread.
