How Many 16 Year Olds Are Here?

[jon.a]

Note to young people...

I have great respect for all of you being here. I don't need you to be telling me that I should have great respect for your being here.

When I was 19, I didn't understand why Best Buy didn't recognize my genius and make me the CEO of Best Buy.

Now at 45, and friends with the real CEO of Best Buy, I realize at 45 there's still a lot I don't know.

I applaud the 16 year old kids that are here. When I was 16, I was focused on one thing, and it's wasn't business.

However, 16 year olds... you can demonstrate your maturity by demonstrating respect for those that have gone before you.

One of the people you have disrespected is a military veteran, who volunteered to serve the United States citizens and protect our right to freedom of assembly, and freedom of speech --- two of the very things that allow this forum to exist. I'm not going to sit here and watch this forum become a high school drama playground discussion. So, if you want to play with the big people and be treated like an adult, act like it. Show some respect, listen more than you speak, and leap years ahead of your peers by absorbing the best that the Fast Lane forum has to give.

You're welcome here. I am glad you are here. You don't know how much you don't know, but you have a chance to change the world and it can start here.

Do you mind me asking what is the reason for the question?

First, I am curious.
Second, we have a new young guy that thinks he's beyond special because he's here at such a young age.
I think we have many young people here.

 

[jon.a]

Where the hell do you get your patience from

I have grand kids older than 16.

16 year olds suck.

If one hasn't been done already, we should do a poll for the different age groups. ages 17 and below, 18-29, 30-40, 41-50, etc. I'd be interested in seeing the average age group here.

Protect your online privacy. Don't use your real name on the forum. Don't post public information that your employer could find. Don't post party pictures on Twitter. Maintain as much anonymity as possible. There are a lot of freaks out there, and a lot of people that would intend to do you harm. Make it as difficult as possible for people to connect your online profiles to your real contact information, and carefully restrict anything you share online.

At 16 I was manipulating the auction house in WoW. Use the biggest advantage you have, time, and GO HARD!

I overclocked my computer to run 14 instances of Diablo 3 with a bot to farm Did it for 2 or 3 weeks when it came out, before I was doing it on WoW.

First actual money I made, around 500-700 USD, then all the accs got banned and went back to the beach First lesson on Control.

Edit: I was 17.

@Gsuz check this

Your attitude is inappropriate at any age.

 

[jon.a]

Real simple, how many here are 16 Y/O or younger? Or, were you 16 Y/O or younger when you found this site?

Please no 16 Y/O's suck posts.
Please no old people suck posts.

We do have a lot of younger folk here.Being young here doesn't make you special.It just gives you more room for failure.

p.s I'll link a few younger folks here but I'm not going to waste my time looking for them.

I was 16 when I discovered the fastlane

 

[Mike39]

Joined the forum when I had just turned 16.

Understand the attitude, everyone's 6'3 and bulletproof on some level when they're 16.

Are you ahead of those your age who are smoking weed and playing CoD? Possibly. Some will be dead from drug overdoses when you are 20, others will be multi-millionaires from signing a music label or starting a youtube channel.

No way to tell really, just keep to your path and work as hard as you can on that. Don't worry about where everyone else is in life compared to you or you will never end up happy.

The point is if the path you are on puts you at better odds of future success, whether that be a year, or 20 years in the future. If so, great keep going. If not, change your strategy. Has worked for me at least...

When i was 16 this forum barely existed... not fair! youtube was in its infancy... facebook wasn't around... myspace was big but i didnt have one...

its 2016 and this is a massively visited forum, ur not a special 16 year old snowflake for having "discovered" this forum and the book...

I wonder if i'd have spent so many hours playing games at 16 if it was 2016, theres just so much more access to good educational material then ever before!

 

[Supa]

At the time I was 16, MSN had its high times, Facebook was on the come up and YouTube was getting more and more popular. For all those 16 years olds on here, be glad you found that place so early in your life. When I was 16 I had not much on my mind besides party, and hanging with my friends. I finished reading TMF and discovered this place with 23 (I'm still 23); and even if I wouldn't change a thing in my past, because all that led me to where I am today, just take a second and imagine how far you can get until you are 23 if you absorb the knowledge on here and put it into the right action.

 

[Phones]

I think I read TMF with 16, joined the forum 1 year later.

Life changer.

With 16 you are somehow limited to what you can do, but it's a major benefit to start shifting your mind then.

Most people get to their 20's already completely brainwashed, in debt and ready for the 9 to 5 life. I don't think I would ever be like that, but maybe, just maybe, I would.

No one will never now. I'm glad I got in here so young.

I'm not there yet, but I'm way ahead of the average joe.

 

[Guest34764]

Just turned 16 a week ago.

Where are the keys to my lambo!?!

I was when I joined, and I'm 17 now. I believe my birth date is already public.

 

[Brentnal]

[jon.a]

I added a poll in case anyone didn't want to be public.

 

[BeLarge]

How are you steps ahead of anyone on this forum?

A 16-year-old can only do so much.

Any adult who is actively on this forum and applies TFL is steps ahead of you in reality.

They are allowed to do so much more than a teenager can do.

The way you're acting in the other threads suggests to me that you're actually 8.
