    Companies are entities, and hide behind human resources. They have no soul.

    EXECUTION 
    So true. They go by the book for the most part in order to protect the company against wrongful dismissal and harassment lawsuits, but at the end of the day, the big boss will make the call and HR will abide. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    Increased My Hourly Price ----> Daily Interview Invitations + I need help regarding mindset

    If you haven't read this thread, you should. It will take you 5 seconds to get the point. BOL to you. Rant - "Tell me the exact steps" (OK, here are all 35 of them.)

    It's actually a positive for you that they want to work their whole lives as long as you don't succumb to their way of life. Consumers are needed for our present and future businesses to survive. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    EXECUTION 
    I can sympathize with your husband. I'm basically in the same boat. My pay hasn't been cut but the company I work for restructures every 3 or 4 years and we are due for a big one. I've seen a lot of good people get dismissed. On the bright side, your head is in the right place and it looks...

    I can't believe no one commented on the best part of this post! But seriously, that's a great story.

    Inferior or Superior to others?

    MINDSET 
    There are 2 sides to every story, so to speak; What you see with your eyes (fact) and what your brain interprets (fiction). What I see: a man driving a Lamborghini (fact). What my brain tells me: That man is rich (fiction). Even if the man is in fact rich, it's still just a judgement that was...

    Inferior or Superior to others?

    Bottom line is, they are just people, just like you and I. What they wear, what their title is or what they drive is meaningless. Be the you that you want to be, not the you that you think others want you to be. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    Inferior or Superior to others?

    MINDSET 
    Many of our actions as humans come down to 1 thing: Looking good (or not looking bad) in the eyes of others. It can be a serious impediment and has a tremendous impact on how we see the world and how the world sees us. It's nearly impossible to completely eliminate this behaviour but once you...

    Keep the read

    What works for me is reading through the entire book at my normal speed without taking notes or highlighting. Then I read it again but quicker and with a highlighter in hand. I also supplement with audio if I find the book valuable enough. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    Is Fastlane Forum your action fake?

    As a newbie, I think that the information on here is priceless. I'm spending a lot of time in here trying to absorb as much as I can, as quickly as I can. If I'm still doing it a month from now without any progress, then it's time to go away and work. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    Why I Hate School But Love Education

    MINDSET 
    It's too late for me but 2 of my children are on the verge of entering post secondary school. I have to say despite the wisdom gained from TMF I am still torn on whether to send them or not. I guess the years of brainwashing are still having an effect on me. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    If you truly love 3d animation, then you will do anything to free up your time so that you can pursue it on your own terms, detached from money. Sent from my Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the reassurance. I'm only 44 so I feel like I still have a lot of productive years ahead of me. Might as well spend them producing something good for myself instead of someone else. Commute is by car and is 80km/50 mi each way. Averages about 1:10 on the way in and 1:20 on the way...

    Future predictions.

    This goes against conventional thinking but I think it's valid. Even in the Western world, people are putting off having families well into their 30's and even then only having 1 or 2 children at the most. Never really thought how tech would factor into an Asian population decline. It's an...

    My name is Chris, I am from Ontario, Canada and am the classic definition of a slowlaner. I work in the slowlane in the corporate office of a major Canadian retailer complete with 2.5 hours of commuting every day. I have worked for the company almost 24 years and have been fairly successful...

    If you haven't read the book, then do yourself a favor and do it. One of the key points is to avoid "Do what you love." Don't build a business in the golf industry just because you love to golf. Go all in on a business that will allow you to golf as much as you want once that business is...
