You just demonstrated my point, Joe. Instead of being rational you
resorted
to your usual, ad hominem attack to avoid the issue. Not the most adult
of
things to do.

The fact that the topic's such a sore spot with you certainly should clue
you in that there's at least a kernel of truth in what I say. Moreover, no
matter what careless, self-serving assumptions you care to make about me,
they have little bearing on the fact that you really DO need to
re-evaluate
yourself and your choices honestly if you wish to increase your chances of
success next time around.

I remember during the planning of his business, posters asked him if
he had taken care of certain things they thought would be easy to
overlook. Joe smugly replied each time that he had crossed all the T's
and dotted all the i's. He clearly hadn't. Imagine his surprise when
he got to his destination and found out that he would not be allowed
to load the 10,000 pounds he had counted on transporting. There was a
4,000 pound limit, which even if he had made it back in one piece,
would have severely impacted the whole venture.


I hadn't heard that bit of news but it doesn't really surprise me. I've
always liked Joe but I'm disappointed in him because he refuses to listen to
reason. People try to help him and he takes it as an affront to his manhood
or something. People who have this type of personality rarely are able to
learn anything from their mistakes. They seem doomed to repeat the same
mistakes over and over again.

His smug rejection of sound advice, of course, may engender "I told you
so's" as a matter of course. Yet, he seems to think these "I told you so's"
are coming out of the blue with no rhyme or reason to them when it's his
attitude that gives rise to them. In some ways his personality seems to have
certain child-like qualities unbecoming of male adulthood. I wonder if he is
a product of a broken home and was raised without any strong father figure
in his life?
