Not sure Einstein should be on that list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Youth_and_college He didn't get a secondary school certificate the first time, but he did get one later and he also did get a college degree.
Well think about it this way, if you and Albert were in high school together, you knew he was intelligent but he was lazy or didn't do his work (I don't know why he dropped out, but for whatever reason) and he ended up dropping out of high school, and you were his classmate, wouldn't you be disappointed in him? Wouldn't you think his future is over? Also I think it was different for them back then since in this day and age you pretty much have to pass high school (college too) if you want to do well, while back then graduation rates were much lower.
A lot of debate about Einstein... I think the story goes he dropped out of high school, but when he got turned down at technical school he went back... edit: supported by your link.
This one........unbelievably hilarious. I was having trouble breathing, I was laughing so hard. Thank you for making my night.
Jesus. When I said "anybody" I was thinking about anybody from my generation. I wasn't even giving thought to those guys. It's not like you and Einstein were really friends anyway, so you don't need to take offense when I say that. Alright, so you made your little spelling mistake and I should have known that you would take me literally and I should have specified "99% of people who drop out of high school in my generation." You've really sounded like Noah in your last few posts in this thread.
you need to relax! did you just get banned? does it really matter how or what you go through to achieve what you want in life? there's more than one formula for success. the real ignorant people are the ones that say you can't do this or you can't do that, because the only time you fail is when you listen to those people and give up. i only know one thing when i hear those people talk, " I CAN AND I WILL!!!" Who are you to say who deserves this and that? listen to yourself and your previous posts. i don't know if you have kids or not, but would you tell your children the same thing? ever since this thread i've never said not to go to school. i think school is important and i've stressed that school either trains you for a particular craft... or teaches you how to organize and think logically. MANY CAN DO VERY WELL WITHOUT SCHOOLING. There are many multi millionaires and successful people that are self taught. not going to school doesn't necessarily mean your dumb. in today's society the internet has become a very valuable tool. it's like a university with limitless amount of information. you can even get a degree on the internet, but what's a degree in today's society? It's a measure of pay. that's what it is. Be honest with yourselves. I did get my highschool diploma at adult school, and i attended community college for 2 weeks. lol that's it. do you know why? most of the general education that's given in the first two years of college I've learned in junior high and part of highschool. most of it you don't even need later in your job. Most of today's college years are spent trying to figure out what you want to do particularly in life and who you want to be. you know how i know? i know people who've graduated from UCLA with an engineering degree, and still doesn't know if he wants to be an engineer or not. there are other examples. i know it's different for other people, and that's why i say that you can still be successful without completing school. it's up to you to determine your success and how you attain it. It takes time for people to find out what they eventually want to be and it comes at different times. luckily i found out what i enjoyed and was good at 2 years ago. i like to compound things. take this lilttle amount of money and see how many times i can compound it and make this huge amount of money. we all have different talents, but we all have one goal, and that is to be successful. i also like to encourage people and help people financially. that is why i enjoy my work, because it helps me achieve other goals besides the material things i want in life. please don't put other people down by not being tolerant to other people's beliefs. what might work for you, may not work for others. also other people may not have the same opportunities as you do. this is my beliefs: anything is possible, i don't know the words i can't, and whatever you think about the most you eventually become it.
hey WEBBY. dude i just saw your website. i just realized your only 19. that explains everything. anyways i like your taste in music. it's kinda sad to know you like the MOODY BLUES and still act the way you do. are you familiar with the moody blues' " The Balance? " relax and listen to it. " Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear, It was because he was not understanding, And he learned, compassion. And with his eye of compassion. He saw his enemies like unto himself, And he learned love. Then, he was answered. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start. " BTW This song is one of many songs that us CSHD share holders listen to =D.

My turn- Alpine you are one year older. You are not any better then anyone else on this forum. I personally do not understand why you still post, though. Whatever.. It is wonderful entertainment. What do you really think that you have to prove by parading yourself around as if you are the smartest investor on the face of the Earth? I am too lazy to read the last 10+ pages to find out if this has anything to do with Webby being banned. What happened?
that's exactly why your judging me negatively right now. your too lazy to see how this started. i got bashed for sharing how i made money with this one particular stock. i'm getting bashed by sharing my due deligince. ever since then i've been defending myself. also liek numerous people have don't put words in my mouth.
Shall we try not to assume, shall we? I have read most of this thread, but have not had a chance to catch up with the last five pages. With your ridiculous arguments and fanatical financial advice, pages FLY by. I really am not trying to judge you negatively. I am a very positive person. The negativity has been brought on by yourself. Also, you will be named there, on that page on Wikipedia, as a successful investor someday! Along with actors, rappers, and porn producers... EDIT: IIRC you have yet to make a penny. Is that correct? As Noah has said many times, talk is cheap! Show us results.

hopefully someday he will invest in the real stock market. You know, the one with stocks valued at over $1
Sorry.. I wanted to give him something to aspire to! Piney could be the next fity' cent! I can see it now... He will be rapping about his troubles with Wall Street!
lol thats where you need to READ the entire thread. i've made money. i've showed them my account. guess what they do when i show them proof? they discredit me by saying it's been photoshopped or edited lol. the only person that even admits to me making this type of money is Yin aka yhlishi or something, and that's because he knows what i'm talking about. negativity has been brought to myself? how? lol by defending every negative comment out there? the whole thing started because they started judging way before they looked at facts. then they started the name calling and the stupid pictures lol. the only person that has brought up facts to back up their statement is yin and simon.
forget it. you guys are just kids. your parents are still paying for your school. you guys aren't getting PAID or know what the real world is about. if you do then excuse me for my assumptions.
Sorry man! To the rest of us, you arent worth the time it takes to go find the facts to support our statements and them post them for you to try to discount them for some ludicrous reason. Also, if you are making the amount of money you say you are, why do you need to post your bank account, etc? If you were making as much money as you say you are, you wouldnt be on here trying to defend yourself like a little girl. But please, by all means, stay here! You just cant buy this great of entertainment.
