Number one is we all learn a different way and the traditional way may not be best for all.<br /><br />The problem I see is getting the knowledge you need in this techno world.<br /><br />Poor grammer and mispelled words make it hard to communicate and respect one another in this techno world.<br /><br />The word mispelled is often mispelled.<br /><br />Once I know that limitation from someone I trust the person doing it but it is so much easier to just go go on to the next person.<br /><br />Once people have your respect it doesn't matter how you speak or write to some degree.<br /><br />We have even learned to not trust people who speak or write beyond their knowledge.<br /><br />Trust is foremost and I really trusted Bob and Dave and Ralph because they were smart and they could help me.<br /><br />Does this make any sense to you?<br /><br />It is difficult to put into words...Ed Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-61871805711459034402009-09-26T20:44:41.184-04:002009-09-26T20:44:41.184-04:00So here's the question Ed: is it possible to b...So here's the question Ed: is it possible to be a Bob Evans/Dave Thomas today? With the stigmatization of any of us with less than a full Bachelor's, would society today respond as willingly to a "celebrity CEO" or entrepreneur without his sheepskin? Dave & Bob are prime examples of those who dropped out and made it, and there are some of us who've made it in the business world without the college degree our culture says is necessary to get ahead, but I think if you don't get the HS Diploma, it's much more unlikely that you'd "make it" today in the same way those unqualified success stories made it fifty years ago...<br /><br />Love to hear your thoughts...Andy Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208453789473867706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-78088174665699861252009-09-25T16:25:59.946-04:002009-09-25T16:25:59.946-04:00I know.
