I've never defined anything. I guess someone else wrote this then: I have met plenty of people who do not seem to be able to muster enough discipline to really learn something that they are interested in. Then they were not really interested. This same person also wrote in the same post: I myself have done a couple of things in my life which I thought (and professed) I was interested in and realized only later that this wasn't really the case. |

That doesn't explain your response to my statement about people who were interested, but failed in their interest. Or are you so arrogant as to think that just because you have had "a couple" of situations in which you claimed to be interested, but decided you weren't, that every other person who fails to accomplish something that they profess interest in must then also not actually have interest? |

I am so arrogant to claim that I have yet to meet somebody who lacks discipline when doing something he's really interested in. Stefan |

. .. So what? That doesn't explain your response to my statement about people who were interested, but failed in their interest. But it disproves your claim that I made a definition. It does no such thing. I am so arrogant to claim that I have yet to meet somebody who lacks discipline when doing something he's really interested in. That has nothing to do with your reply to MY comment about people who DO have interest not having the necessary discipline. Pete |

My point was that those people obviously don't have enough interest, even if they themselves think so. Shall we continue to talk in a circle or just stop here? Stefan |

Quoting one piece of text has nothing to do with whether something else you wrote does something else. That has nothing to do with your reply to MY comment about people who DO have interest not having the necessary discipline. My point was that those people obviously don't have enough interest, even if they themselves think so. The only people you are qualified to comment on are those people with whom you have personal experience. And in fact, by your own admission, those are the only people to whom you refer. Commenting on those people has absolutely no relevance to the more general statement I made, nor does it in any refute it. Shall we continue to talk in a circle or just stop here? If the best you can manage is simple contradiction, I'd say the sooner you give up, the better. Your call. Pete |
