[@Whaatever1027]

Jacob Racquer you guys are pathetic. What people in general lack is self-love not entrepreneurs lacking charisma. You have to pity talk everything to people so you don't hurt their ego feelings. Fuck that, since the day I learned to love myself I loved the people that told me the truth the most. I love people that tell me what others are too selfish to admit. If I'm not the right one for a girl, I would rather have her tell me straight up I'm not the right one than start being more quiet little by little till I get it. And guess what? I'm an entrepreneur. You don't waste your time being pity with people. Animals who can't put their emotions aside, that's why they don't progress in life.

[@Whaatever1027]

Jacob Racquer As I said the majority are such pity snowflakes. So I'm not surprised by your comment. We should make the purge real so we get rid of the weaker genes, making our species better again don't you think? I'm losing brain cells from how dumb people can be sometimes and then knowing they are gonna procreate spreading those weak genes even more... oh gosh its brutal. Thats why I like the medieval age more, you are weak you don't survive only the thug get to live. You have all this past amazing badass leaders like Alexander the great you are not gonna hear that shit again anymore cus we let the weak live.

[@Whaatever1027]

Jacob Racquer but go out of man made cities... Thats how nature is! And no ones hates nature for that. If you are weak you are fucked and guess what scientist know we Homo Sapiens are evolving way slower than other species now because we let the weak genes in. If a new predator comes to kill butterflies and you are green color and can camouflage you get to survive, if another one came out sort of brown color or whatever, well you can be seen you are fucked and die. But if they were to be pity like us and let them procreate as well guess what you might end up with part green, part brown genes so you are fucked thanks to the weak genes that are allowed to exist. More butterflies suffer the epidemic and possibly make the specie go extinct if enough time existed to spread the genes everywhere. I don't sound too crazy and arrogant now do I? I'm just following the laws of nature, let the weak die off and keep perfecting our specie.

[@thecurrentmoment]

It was smart of him to ask "which is easier to replace?" If she was truly the love of his life and he felt he would never find another woman like her, and that he could start another similar business, then the business would be easier to replace. If he felt the woman was one of many but the business was one in a million, then the business would be more difficult to replace. He didn't actually suggest that the student give up his woman (although he may have been leading him to that) - it is a solid, legitimate question to ask him, or anyone facing a similar situation. Nicely done

I agree Dale. That very intelligent question will get him a lot further in life.

[@hamsterfromabove8905]

If your business is your true passion (you can insert anything in place of business) then you shouldn't give it up. If a significant other can't accept that your passion can't be given up for anything then they weren't your true love. People are so scared of being alone that they force themselves to fit in with the wrong person. Hold on to your passion and you will find another that can share it with you instead of forcing you to let go of it.

My wife and I both built small businesses (kept mine, she sold hers). During this time, our daughter and her husband took many international vacations, bought a time-share, lived large, full week in a suite at Disneyworld, annual passes to multiple theme parks, paid to go to VIP experiences, paid to go to the Bahamas and swim with dolphins, etc. My wife and I over ten years, we'd take a 3-day weekend on Labor Day and Memorial day, drive somewhere out of town for a couple days (and be on our smart phones checking inventory, answering clients, coordinating with vendors, during that time). Today, we are both successful, looking at retiring by age 60, pretty comfortably. Our daughter and her husband, filed bankruptcy and we lease them a house because they can't be approved to rent a place, they have nothing. Our daughter, when we had to coordinate with her recently on forming our revocable trust: "Why don't you guys just share that money with us now, you guys are super lucky and have money, we were unlucky, it's kind of not fair." My wife's response: "Because you have no idea how offensive it is that you think the reason we have money is luck, and you cannot see how your choices versus our choices resulted in where we are all at now." Note: while building our businesses, we actually had some pretty bad beats and bad luck, it was a nightmare at times, so this was especially offensive to us, particularly since all this time, we generously supported her and her husband without thanks to the tune of over $100,000 that if they didn't have, they would have had a hard life. We were stupid to even do that for them, we should have let them feel need, but "the grandkids"... So yes, Kevin, most people have zero clue what it takes to be successful, I agree.

There are wives and husbands who will never betray you (unless if it's to save your kids lives or the world or whatever lol) but businesses who betray their own founders?

Chaitan Reddy It is not idealistic. What he says is grounded in human biology and psychology. We are social creatures and need social stimulus to function optimally; and as a side note, a supportive and loving family can push you forward and help you excel. Moreover, traditionally, marriage was one of the best business decisions one could make, and still can be, but presently can be a financial pain if you have married the wrong partner; and they subsequently divorce you. Furthermore, though children might be financially burdensome, being a parent helps immensely in putting life into perspective, and the drive to create a better future for your children can be a great inspiration for any entrepreneur or business owner.

[@JCleeseVK]

It is true, but the important thing is that it has nothing to do with convenience of replacing one or another. If you fiance want`s you to choose between your passion and her, then it really would not work anyway in the mid or long run. Actually, some people are simply not marriage material at all, unless they find someone who completely understands them or is the same with their own passions. I believe marriage can work if people see each other only few hours a day, or even week, but it is very hard to find a perfect pair where both pursue their passions but still having someone to come back at the end. Life is complex, just live it i guess.

He sold the company to Mattel as soon as he could, and immediately they faced dozens of lawsuits from schools that cost them millions, leading to millions more in lawsuits from investors who O'Leary misled, which is why they promptly fired him. Remember "Reading Rabbit"? There's a reason it abruptly shut down in the early 2000s. This isn't some hidden info, it's in the intro section of his Wikipedia page.

That depends on the ultimatum, pal. If someone asks you to stop snorting coke or he/she will leave you, I think one should comply.

[@figa5567]

Yeah... it completely depends on the ultimatum. Some things make sense, some don't. You may be the one at fault. Sometimes people can be so stubborn that they don't see what they're actually doing, and need something as extreme as an ultimatum to wake up. I wish I had actually given my ex an ultimatum much earlier than I did. Ended up being too late for her to see what she was doing. Ultimatums aren't necessarily bad.

I'm not about the whole idea of sacrificing all your free time to the pursuit of wealth, however what he said about choosing between a relationship and a business (a dream) is something I agree with; it's similar to something Lady Gaga once said about how if she had to choose between her music or love, she would choose her music because she knows that a sheet of Mozart for example isn't going to wake up one morning and tell her it doesn't love her anymore.

[@jaredhonusankrom]

I moved to Atlanta by myself in 2019 after a traumatic breakup with my ex in Chicago. I didn't know a single person here and I slept in a room in the hood on the floor when I started. I work every day on my crafts of music and acting. I went through a long period of isolation. It came with suicidal thoughts and the most awful feelings I never would have guessed. I now have a great, powerful momentum I've built off of sheer will and passion for my art forms. I have a girl I see when I have time but I've known her for less than a year...I've been learning and building my body and mind for 5 years, EVERY DAY, no matter where I've lived. Sure, I miss my family up north while I'm here in GA...but, and this is hardcore truth here, I was born alone and I'll die alone...my work is the central focus of my life. Finally, my ultimate goal is to inspire others to believe in themselves, not to inspire them to believe in a feeling (love/ a relationship). I have a lot of people watching my journey and I won't let myself, and them, down. If I fail at this point, I look like a crazy person who went homeless several times and lost his mind at a point on a whim interest in art. Anyways what I am getting at is to never quit.

[@bucketofsteam9260]
