It varies from day to day, but mostly I'm happy being me. Lately I've been feeling a little more insecure than usual because, um, there's a girl, and I suspect that I like her more than she likes me. But in general I'm pretty happy about myself and my life -- I'm smart enough to have a job that I like and attractive enough to have a great husband who enjoys being with me, and for the most part that's good enough.

My affect is alot like Drew Barymore's. I don't think that is a compliment either. I'd rather be Kat Von D from LA Ink. Someone chocolate to my vanilla.


Anyway, She not only seems like a really nice person she is a great artist as well.

I have stated many times, including the original post, that I am not a genius and that the tests are false.
YOU cannot read, clearly.
Or are you choosing to ignore these statements so you can continue to be an ass?

Some take issue with that. I think it's childish.

This issue in the West of feeling good about ourselves, feeling proud of our accomplishments, taking compliments that are due and accepting aptitude is really sad and I discourage it among my students.

Completely separate issue.

It's probably me, but I really don't understand.

Which one, you are looking at three separate posts?
The problem with the West is that we look to others for self-worth. Others do not matter in that judgment.
True humility, the same, it is not judged against the actions or talent of others but what you can do compared with what you are capable of.
One can learn from others, but I always discourage my students from comparing themselves to/with others... it is a mistake and cannot be done accurately, so it should not be attempted.
You are automatically limiting yourself. The only thing you should do in regards to others is try to do better than they. Even that should not be a goal... that is a comparison. But, "I can do that" is acceptable.
There is nothing wrong with it, people think one should not do it because it is "arrogant" or not humble... bullshit. Humility is about respect and reverence not limitations.

I'm not a jim subscriber. You should be flattered I read one of your shit posts at all.

lumberjim 09-18-2007 02:49 PM

hey, you're the tailposter here, bub. that was a month ago while the topic was relevant. your post asking why I KEEP saying it is misleading.

EAD

rkzenrage 09-18-2007 02:58 PM

It was the last statement you made. Mine was the correct assessment.
A tail-poster is one who posts at the end of a thread they have not read.
You don't know what you are talking about, as usual.

lumberjim 09-18-2007 03:04 PM

you cannot read

Spexxvet 09-18-2007 03:05 PM

What?

Flint 09-18-2007 03:06 PM

Maybe it's not a matter of not being able to read, it's a matter of being off-topic? It has to be one of those two.

Cicero 09-18-2007 03:10 PM

Wow....screwy. I wondered what was so easy about coming here lately.
