I am curious as to why you feel the need to pursue this. Why can't you contribute w/o turning it into a negative?
Yes, I was given a spoon....
I am in a fifth-generation business bravely founded in an immigrant's grocery store. I can assure you in my forty years working here I have made contributions that have positively altered the organization and have certainly bettered my family. These accomplishments are recognized as mine. This does not diminish the foundation laid for me by both sacrifices and investments of my Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather.
I have been here for a while and for the most part I have found it to be a humble community. A community that shares what it is proud of.... businesses, families and Porsche's.

That was my point exactly. Wasn't pursuing anything really just making a point. I respect what you've done. Who cares what anyone has done really. Someone brags about being an entrepreneur is fine. I made my point about it too so what is the problem for my part in this discussion? NY Nick said I love a young entrepreneur. Then it turned into what or where this motivation comes from. Rich Dad, Poor Dad etc. I just chimed in with my experience. Didn't turn it into a negative, just conjecture on a point.
You replied guys on MPF had no spoons in general, but now you admit you had one. Don't see the problem here. Just conjecture on life experience or what motivation instrumental or not that makes one any sort of entrepreneur.
