You're young. Trust me. When you go through life you'll want to be more like me. Head those words. Love equals unattainable expectations.

OP just heard that line from one of his customers while pouring them their beer.

You sure make it seem like you get respect in life when you use ISH as your little philosophical diary.

It's more for insight and lend experience to you mindless young pups. Most of you will go through more failure than successes because of what I'm pitching here. Trust me. These words will do you well.

Actually it's the other way around. What do you think these alcoholic socialites are looking for when they come to a bar?

These loners need to absorb those words more than anyone. I actually think of you a lot when I remind myself of that quote. You constantly seek validity on here on the same topic over and over. I'm assuming your life isn't any different. Never too late to change my friend.

His viewpoint is to limited to understand that both are possible. With time, he will learn.

I didn't say don't be loved. I said value respect more.

Both are possible. But most value being loved over being respected.

You don't have the depth to understand that hence why you are who you are

thanks plato can we have another?

You're pretty naive. You seek validity everyday. Otherwise you wouldn't be so persistent in your narrow sight to be right. It's a form of seeking love through validity. It consumes your life hence why you come off so unsociable.

Like I said. There's time to change my brother.

This is some amazing projecting you have going on here. You pretty much summed up how you are perceived on here and we have plenty of threads which showcase it. This is why this thread is comical. You failed to embrace reality after the first response. :roll:

Lol, and you do you think the perception of you is any better?
Why would I care about my perception on here? I don't look for any admiration on here. So really your words have no bearing. I just exist on here.

You OTOH look for validity every.single.day and somehow have convinced yourself that you are some kind of upper echelon poster. Are you not aware that you carry the stigma of staight_ballin? The perception of you far worse than I have ever achieved. The nerve of you to point that out.

You are pretty much the example of what I am trying to get across. You value getting loved by little over being respected by all. And yet this persona seems to be obvious it spilled over into your real life.

If I'm wrong, good on ya. But methinks I've nailed it on the head.

The problem with your incorrect assumption is that I’m not concerned about the perception of myself on here, whereas you are constantly trying to seek approval on here from others. This thread is a perfect example. Like I said, there’s no need to even rehash it, because you have countless threads demonstrating it. The irony of it all is that you somehow convinced yourself into thinking that you know a secret about getting through life that others don’t already know. Yet your actions (based on your past threads) contain the exact opposite of what you are preaching. It’s OK, with enough nurturing, we’ll help you get back on your feet. The first step is you coming to terms with the fact that this thread is a disguised plea for help.

meh. if you're truly confident, happy and secure with yourself, respect isn't a priority at all.

u just 'do u', take care of u and your own and carry the f*** on. respect is just another word for validation.

[ILLsmak]

I don't believe humans are capable of whatever is required for: respect, love, honesty...

even if you know someone is gonna punch you in the face every time you do something that's not 100% respectful, if they don't once then you're like hm.

To reverse engineer your philosophy, the reason it would be better is because there is more substance when the respect or love is stripped away. Meaning, if someone respected you, you assumed-ly have more going for you than if they just loved you. Beyond that, eh. Words to live by, eh. haha

The truth is, there are always gonna be some dudes saying some shit or ankle biting, but you don't need to dignify them. Don't let other people define the parameters of your interaction (or your anything) would be my words to live by. Something a lot of ISH feuders could learn.

It all comes together, if you have one thing then you will have the other as well. It's not that respect isn't a priority, it's that you aren't going out of your way to make people respect you...which in turn makes people respect you :lol


It's incredibly difficult to explain but you get the drift.

I mean I haven't had the business success you have had so I don't know.

But generally the following maxim I find is eternally true and that is:

You reap what you sow.

[DaHeezy]

I understand that heezy and ego got a beef, but ego is SPOT ON with this post dude. Heezy, a little advice. Read this post without the intention of responding to it. Read it as a fact and think about it for a sec, reread this thread and go look at some of the other threads you have made in the past.


You'll quickly understand where Ego is coming from with this post.

I know exactly what you and ego are referring to. The thing is the two of you have a negative perspective of me to begin with. Because I don't align with our ideals, ego and his narrow view of Jordan and your hypersensitivity to me butting heads with your Laker fam. You'll view those posts I share as bragging or looking for validity. My posts will resonate negatively from the title

Truth is its shame on me for actually giving a F*CK about this board once upon a time. My posts were meant to share and inspire to add color to this community. Somewhat of a throwback to "the good old days". It wasn't meant for any sort of admiration. Up until a few months ago I added my stories for discussion. Which is the reason why I stopped doing that. This is the wild west and instead of bringing the beers and cheers, I've traded them in for a gun. Story telling is dead on ISH

The reason I created this thread was yesterday was International Mental Health awareness day. I posted this statement on social media albeit with more depth and it resonated extremely well. My statement was being shared by dozens, and dozens shared in top of that. It went on a mini viral run. I figured I'd share it on ISH with yesterday's theme. Nothing more nothing less. You and ego can take it as you like. Hopefully a good discussion comes out of it despite the obvious banter I was going to encounter.

It has nothing to do with actually business success. It's more to do with the way you're perceived.

For example take my statement in a work environment.

People may love you at work. But the same people may not have an invested interest in you and would step all over you

When you're respected at work some may not love you but everyone will avoid interfering with what you do

Let's say I wanted to play basketball on a court adjacent to a skate park. Any tips how to be gain the respect from a group of 13 years old skaters?
