Yikes... I'm not sure whether to laugh or have pity after reading that post from Tony!

Here I was reading through it, imaging how he would "play the market", meet with a brokerage firm to go public, etc., etc., while busy in the classroom of this mystery school, that worries about their reputation on PBH, while earning about what a supermarket bag boy makes.

Sounds like Tony is thinking about putting a couple houses on Baltic Ave. before he passes GO!

Either way, he could make millions convincing everyone else his dreams came true! Like a Tony Robbins Jr, or that motivational speaker in Little Miss Sunshine.

Hey Felix, I want to commend you on your ambition. It is an important factor in accomplishing goals. And I am sure you will find success in your future (though you may find it slow if you are depending on the real estate market in central Florida these days.)

I don't think anyone would want to deride your dreams. Your arrogance ( ... "which i am sure is more then you can do, vicshere.") and the inconsistency (going public while working for $10/hr), in your statements are another story.

Even if it's your Papi's business you dream of expanding or taking over, I respect your dreams. But Felix, don't confuse people's lack of bragging with lack of success. Some people here have already accomplished what you dream of, perhaps even at a slightly earlier age. Not everyone feels it necessary or prudent to gloat publicly. And reality or not, your mouth may get you into trouble in countries with different cultures, like Colombia.

Ok, somewhere between Naples, Ft Meyers and Orlando you are trying to make a living in the now extremely depressed Florida real estate market. Where properties are so slow to sell, they are being put up for auction to try to get rid of them. No harm in trying. There were some smart people who made money during the depression.

And for some reason, you think teaching English in Colombia will help balance your business plans.

Tony, your comments are riddled with rude remarks and inconsistencies. You seem to have a short memory and myopic vision. You better be able to take it if you want to dish it out, bud.

You never mentioned anything about teaching English for free. You only asked how much they were paying for the job being offered:

"TonyMattei says on Wednesday November 14th, 2007 19:44:

i can teach english .......what city ? i have a certificate i can email to you.. along with some others to solidify me...."

Why the concern for the pay if you plan to teach for free?

Thanks, I am not interested in seeing your business. I'm happy you have plans and I'm sure you will do fine, if you keep that inflated ego in check.

You have some catchy phrases memorized. Your problem is you assume everything is news to the rest of us. Many of us have already 'been there and done that', including helping others.

Tony, you seem to be headed in the right direction, you just need a major attitude overhaul. I'll remind you again, especially in the case of Colombia, bragging your mouth off may get you places with gals in the street, but you may not like some other people it attracts! Things are changing here, but this is not Florida! Adapt to survive and prosper...

Tinto (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Nov 18, 2007, 09:15:

To each his own, but if the guy has capital and invests in the markets, why would he want to earn $2 to $10 USD an hour teaching English for a couple of hours a day? His time would be far better spent finding good securities to invest in.

I understand diversifying sources of income and all that and maybe he wants to teach English to learn about the business and then open his own school and do it better. That makes sense to me. Teaching English because he needs the money, esp. after all the "big talk" makes no sense at all.

If I was going to rob someone I don't think I would accept to eat dinner with the guy. And I probably would want all the money, not just some. But I'm not a robber so maybe I don't know.

Too lazy to read this thread from start again to remember what it's about. The temptation was there to set BIG tony straight about his misconceptions of Colombia, etc. I bit the bait.

Then I realized there is no hope for enlightenment for some. They will only learn the hard way. We can only hope the hard way does not include rigor mortis! Then again, most guys like this type are pure talk!

Tony reminded me why I hated dealing with real estate salespeople. Their egos are so inflated and not much info gets in! They like t hear themselves talk. I imagine those egos have deflated lately, as some of them may be flipping burgers or toting a pricing gun in borders. Seems like a good market to be a bankruptcy lawyer these days!

As for Manny, busy accusing everyone about being part of a PBH conspiracy (which in and of itself sounds hilarious!) ... If this mystery company ripped you off by not paying your contracted salary I could understand. But if they simply offered you less money than you think you're worth, I don't understand the bitching!

Every company has the right to offer as little pay as the law allows. And you have the equal right to move on to a better employer, if you can find one and convince them you're worthy.
