i'd hit it!

Luck , timing ,confidence. patience. Watch your cat. It rarely if ever fails.

The professor speaks as if she thinks she is smarter than the executives she's advising. I'd never hire her for that reason...too much ivory-tower pomposity.

Ang taong mahadlok sa failure o kapakyasan, mahadlok usab sa success.

Talk about bouncing back. Failure doesn't mean the end of all efforts. Must use it constructively. Good vid!

@oombuddah Wow, this is really amazing. Again, a Pawn is moved to force your Queen. It's sort of like a cat playing with a mouse. Don't you even realize you are being toyed with and coaxed to respond. The barbaric word 'dumbass' catches your attention because I know it offends you, you responded to the grammar bait that you can't resist, and you use youtube as an excuse to rationalize your inadequacies. However, your spelling improved in your last respond...thanks to me! CYA later sheep :)

@alamoghost 1. 'you are a dumbass' = a cheap statement void of any reasoning behind it and you won't be able to find any reasoning because logic is not on your side. My grammar and english if fine and even if it wasn't, I'm writing on an informal youtube comments panel, not a doctoral thesis.

I can play that card with you and say 'improve your spelling'. It's grammar, not grammer.

2. Your lack of skills in these areas are proving my earlier points :) again, another fallacy.

@oombuddah Again, you are a dumbass! You feel the need to defend yourself? In the future, please take the time to review your english and grammer skills. Your lack of skills in these areas are proving my earlier points :)

@oombuddah PART 2: You picked on the wrong guy. My Queen was taken by a Pawn by someone not playing by the rules of the game. But again this 'truth' that you are talking about is a fallacious premise. It does not follow that I'm false just because you assume I'm not on her 'level'. Just admit your losses and move on. You're the only illogical one here. Everyone can see for themselves. Stop feeling the need to be correct and just accept logical truth.

@alamoghost PART 1 Well you made a cheap statement 'Increase your IQ' so I felt that I should defend myself because it was you who was suffering from a lack of reading comprehension skills and it's evident that you can't stand in the face of logical reasoning hence why you're now resorting to cheap statements such as 'dumbass' and sound very hysterical.
