Easy test: if you would ask "how many", then you use "fewer". If you would ask "how much", then you use "less".

"They didn't listen to me."
"Do they know you are a structural engineer by degree?"
"No"

Haha
I imagine that these older men were standing there all confident and when this very young looking girl said something they just blew her off as if she didn't know anything.

OT - This thread has interesting tags, hahaha

Verbiage It is very true to surround yourself with people with ambition or at least intellect that can stimulate or motivate you to be a better person.

When you want to make a foolish decision based purely on enjoyment, you will often check yourself by possibly analyzing the situation from their lenses. Often times, that will be the trick to not making that decision.

Believe me, I annoy myself with how critical and over analytical I am. It's what's kept me afloat thus far.

My life philosophy is get work done; when you have none left, make some.

I'm probably one of the youngest people on this forum. In relation to myself, the people whom I'm compared two are more or less the same person, with me being an outlier.

The two are not mutually exclusive. 9 is both square and odd. In fact, based on many of your posts and your self-proclamation of being "one of the youngest", I strongly suspect that you might actually be 9. Unlikely that you are 25 (the next closest odd square [at least squares of integers]).

Edit: Apologies that this sick burn took so much explaining. But still... sick burn, yo.

I have actually lost about 2-3 friends in the last 6-7 months, and I only really had 4-5 to begin with. It's just that if you are not forced or willing to make changes in your life given the circumstances, then I can't MAKE you understand why you should be striving for better. At 25, I already feel like I have no time and need to be moving forward, daily.

I have about 10-12 notes in my iPhone notepad concerning fitness goals, utilities, mortgage, car modifications, supplement intake, health information, etc. I just don't understand how people can go through life just existing, and only seeing a foot in front of them.

Failure is a large part of my motivation, and I am very clear as to where I do not want to be. Before you know it, the same people who are around me now doing nothing will be 30, and still doing nothing.

I plan to own a 911 by 30, so I figure I'll shed the dead weight from now. I hate negativity and stagnation around me.
This kind of stuff is the reason I lurk around this forum. Finding like minded people is important whatever the medium, and it's reassuring to see other people who want the same trajectory for their life.

Time does move fast, can't waste it standing still.

I have definitely tried my best to maintain a positive outlook. At this point, it is no concern of mine whether or not others see it, too. You know?


If you don't shoot for the best in life for yourself, you can't expect others to take the shots for you.
