    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    False. Only 4-8% of children have ADHD and 2/3rds of those children continue to have it into adulthood so about 3-6% of the adult population have the condition. ADHD can actually be measured in the brain. Studies have been done where the brains of children who are diagnosed with ADHD are...

    Secret of the £400 million tycoon who does not know how to read

    EXECUTION 
    LOL. The secret is that he's illiterate; I guess he revealed it for the first time for this article. The reason why this was boring to me is because they didn't discuss much how he built his businesses; just the fact that he was illiterate and became wealthy.

    Secret of the £400 million tycoon who does not know how to read

    EXECUTION 
    I'm surprised that he hasn't been scammed out of his wealth. How do you sign a contract without being able to read it? That leaves you open to being deceived. If I were him, I wouldn't trust my lawyers or accountants at all. Quote from the article:

    10 ideas that made $100 Million

    IDEA 
    That's true. The media likes to focus on the events that lead to wealth and not the process. This gives the impression that people just stumble into a successful business when the truth is that for 99% of entrepreneurs, they could only take advantage of those events because of all the hard...

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Did you take the quick release Ritalin? My psychiatrist started me off on the quick release ritalin and I had the same jittery and uneasy feeling, and I had headaches. Then he switched me to the slow release kind and it works perfectly; no jittery feeling, no headaches, etc. and I still get...

    10 ideas that made $100 Million

    IDEA 
    That's true. What we really want is the story of how they got through the difficult stage, but they almost never include that part.

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Abusing any drug can kill you. If you take 20 Advils or Tylenols at once you will most likely die. ADD meds are mild amphetamines; they speed up your heart rate but it's not by much if you take the amount prescribed to you by your psychiatrist; that's why I said that only people with ADD...

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's like that feeling you get after your first cup of coffee in the morning, except instead of fading quickly it lasts all day; the one I take lasts 10 hours which helps me stay alert through the day. Also, you feel super focused unlike how you'd normally be where your mind is jumping in a...

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Adderall and other ADD drugs give you that feeling of euphoria because they contain the same chemical as the illegal drug meth. Like meth, they also help you stay awake for long periods of time and make you super focused so that you can get a lot of work done. The difference is that ADD meds...

    Check this website out!

    Great site! I like the videos. I tend to play videos like this while I'm coding or doing other work. I can listen to the speeches and gain some extra knowledge while I'm working.

    Hey MJ, ever ridin' like this?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's just done to show off. Lots of people dig those lambo doors and any type of door that goes upwards. I've seen some videos where people ride cars like that with the doors up, like one where a guy did that with an SLR. I think it looks coolest with an Enzo though. Obviously, you have to...

    Should I Go To Harvard Or Stay w/ Successful Startups?

    Actually, both Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard after their freshmen years. One guy made a good comment in the techcrunch article. He said that he should go to Harvard for one day then drop out. Then he can always say, "I'm a Harvard dropout", when he goes to raise money...

    QUESTION for MJ: What did your mom do when she first found out..

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's great that your parents are supportive. I think for most young people though, their parents see their ambition to become wealthy as just a waste of time; they don't truly believe that their child can become a millionaire. Some will pretend to be supportive but will secretly hope that...

    QUESTION for MJ: What did your mom do when she first found out..

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Don't take this the wrong way, but are your parents immigrants? All of my Asian American friends are the children of immigrants and some of them immigrated here as children as well. Their parents are big time slowlaners; the type that want their kids to be either doctors or engineers then go...

    QUESTION for MJ: What did your mom do when she first found out..

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't know what MJ's answer will be. However, Felix Dennis points out in his book that family members and friends typically don't want you to be successful in your fastlane goals. The reason for family members is that they don't want you to become to the most successful and wealthy member of...

    PhoneLow.com is currently up for sale.. would this be a good buy?

    Nobody would randomnly type phonelow.com in their browser and I doubt it already ranks high in search engines. Therefore, the domain is not worth buying. 15 years ago if someone said google.com was a good domain to buy, would you have believed them? How about groupon? Or twitter? The...

    How Poor are YOU?

    How about looking at it from a positive perspective. Instead of focusing on what you don't have, focus on what you do have: If you: 1) Live in the United States or another prosperous Western nation with opportunities to start businesses. 2) Have your health; not mentally or physically...

    S&P downgrades US credit rating from AAA

    This is the same ratings agency that gave those toxic mortgages AAA ratings before the housing collapse happened. So, why are you surprised that they've been wrong about national ratings?

    The site looks good; great work so far. However, there's no way to reply to someones vent. What's the point of venting if people can't comment on your vent or you can't comment on other people's venting posts?
