Kolek planning to go pro
I’m trying to take a calmer, more reasoned approach at discussions here. May I ask the same of you and others? Merely an ask.
Cheeks Hards has been a jag off for quite some time. Not worth even discussing with him. He is an expert on all topics, similar to his buddies.
As opposed to your nonsensical half-formed sentences and weak attempts at name calling. I'm not surprised you latch on to the old guys around here, being an old fart, yourself.Clearly, you're not rocket surgeon.
LennySpot on. As you have a good understanding of my family and it’s history in Asia, I could not agree with you more. The education I have gained over thirty plus years in the region is something I am very proud of.While I was a very poor student in school, I embraced the knowledge of both the locals in places that I have worked as well as the ex pats.My family story means a lot to me because of the risks that we took to conduct business in Asia. I/we were not a big company or worked for one, but we rolled the dice very early on the importance that China would mean in global economy.I can assure you that I am not an expert on China, but by hook or crook I have managed to run a company in HK and China for over 25 years. Nothing lasts forever and chasing new frontiers, but hopefully with a bit more knowledge than I had when we entered China.My Dad had a lot of great gifts, but his ability to listen and learn remained a core belief in his life until he passed away at 90. I really value posters like yourself that offer knowledge based off of your experiences in life. Wish there more Lenny’s in the world.
never claimed to be a rocket surgeon, it's a make pretend name...you get that right? so what is a "hards_alumni"? if it's not, nsfwbtw, your bigotry(ageism)on full display is shameful and that's putting it kindly. substitute any other group in there and this whole board would be erupting and very rightfully so. your youth and inexperience are on full display
RocketIt is not youth on full display, it is a fxxkin idiot on full display.
lmao. I'm glad you're saying so here, but maybe starting with the dimwit that started the name calling game would at least give the appearance of you being genuine.Pray for me, Cheeks.
mSomeone recently said charity starts at home.
ForgetfulI could be all wet, never said I was an expert. Simply stated my opinion.
Understood. I hope you didn't take that as an attack, it was a more a general statement.Also, I understand you never said you were an expert. My opinion is that your lengthy experiences there are consistent with someone whose opinion would be consistent with an "informed' or "expert" opinion.My general statement was to highlight that "experts" often disagree.
HardsTake the time to read posts and not just who posted them. No crap that you are not an expert, no need to mention it again.
nothing wrong with hearing different viewpoints. some just seem to get anxious when the dialog slants from "conventional wisdom"
JoeI spent years of my life bouncing around Asia and Europe as an expat investing the billions of dollars the GE machine generated for the Capital team. GE put us up in plush digs, gave us access to great clubs, paid for private schools, and gave us a couple trips home every year.You, on the other hand, took an old line family-owned American industrial enterprise and pivoted it hard into something relevant to adjust to the new economic realities. Not only did you have the boldness of vision but the grit to reinvent the family business into a successful venture.My path was easy; yours was fraught with risk and the downside of failure would have been catastrophic for you and your family. Years later, you can look back with pride that you saw an opportunity, took great personal risk, and through determination, vision, and effort built something your sons are now a part of. I love the goobers who throw stones at a man who created value. They have no concept of what you accomplished. I love the weak bellied tards of the world. Goddam but they bring a smile to my face. They are unworthy to lick your boots, Goose.
Kant speek four da udder old farts, butt eye sport da commando look, hey?
Doc, I don't care about what you are wearing but I do so love a woman who understands the power of letting the wind caress the valley as it were...
