You know something bro, I've been surrounded by haters my whole life. Hating on you for this, that or the other. It took me many years to get to the point where I'm soooooo comfortable with myself and how I conduct my life that I now don't have a problem telling someone to step aside when they get in my way with their hating bullshit.
I had this asswipe at the gym last weekend tell me that "taking classes at the college for real estate is a complete waste of your time. What you want to do is get in with one of the reputable real estate companies and study with them and have them show you how to take the test". OK, 1. I HATE it when someone tells me what I need to do. I'm 38 years old and I think I KNOW what it is I need to do to get to where I want to be. 2. I'll decide what's a complete waste of my time and what isn't.
Soooooo, in the most polite way I could, I told him "no, taking a class at the college isn't a waste of my time because I dig the college atmosphere (and the hot ass eye candy..........oooh, them sweet, young college girls DDDAAAYYYUUUMMM!)
