i never boasted.. ive always maintained that local unis are nothing great, its nothing compared to ivy league schools. i merely stated facts when they said i wouldnt amount to much in life...
Young man. Gotta chill and take these with a pinch of salt. Ppl can say what they want. Let them be. only time can tell if it's true or not. They pass judgement let them be. Prove them wrong in time.
I also local uni. on scholarship cos parents cannot afford our uni fees. every year get into dean's list. so? graduate liao also like that. who's to say who is better than the other? How to define success? Money? That'll be crude.
I know multi millionaires who have no degrees. I also know 1st class honours from ox-bridge and ivy leagues now jobless and almost resort to begging. truth is, a life skill is more useful than a degree. yet a degree gives you the short-cut. just for the first few years of your life you get a head start. after that it all depends on attitude.
if listen to what older ppl say liao not happy, just smile and walk away. if you are upset or angry it only proves there is some degree of truth in it. I was like you too when I was around your age. Society taught me many lessons. Now I just smile and walk away. My time is too precious to be upset to bring myself down to their level and let them beat me with experience.
there is no way you need not see the outside world. Family business? any business will need to deal with people. you still will need to come into contact with outside world whether you like it or not.
In short, life is more than getting upset by just a few words for talk is cheap. And most of the times we are just trash talking. Don't let your ego get the better of you. The guys here are nice peeps if you meet us in person. That said, welcome to the thread (a bit late but better late than pregnant.....I mean never), and enjoy our hotdogs. I mean watches.
As for the rest of us ah laos.....cut him some slack bah. I promise not to go after your hotdogs for a week.
Godspeed.
