Have you heard the proverb?:

If I had 8 hours to cut down a tree, I would spend 6 hours sharpening my axe.

Cheers from a 43 year old that is still "unsuccessful".

it's not just big companies that use java. We're a small company (15 ppl) and have built our backend in java and the frontend in PHP.

I'm not a developer but I think at least part of the reason for building in java is the abundance of libraries (i.e. Apache Commons). We also just do POJOs/Servlets so development can be rapid. I think most people think of J2EE when they think of big companies and java.

I might use it on the Desktop more if they would fix the annoying bug where the number of items don't appear next to the feed in Google Reader!

EVERY new version they put out I check and am disappointed.

How about an Avon rep?

As a travel agent I'm guessing she liked interacting with people and she probably can contact those same people she serviced as a travel agent for her home-based Avon business.

My wife has been with Avon for years. It does take some time to build up a clientèle and team but you can make okay money at it. It depends how extensive of a network you have and how much time and effort you're willing to put into it.

We used to use Solve360 but we use Bantam Live now too. Solve360 is actually a very powerful CRM platform/toolkit but the non-technical people didn't really grok it. Bantam Live has some warts but it provides a lot of functionality without making many compromises. Second that it is worth checking out.

Ask a question like: How many people in Japan do you think are married?

There's no right or wrong answer really, you're just trying to get at how they come up with a number.

A hypothetical answer: Let's see, let's say Japan has 50 million people, of those 50 Million maybe 35 Million are consenting adults. Japan is a pretty traditional culture so probably a large percentage of...

You get the idea.

Just get out of there - it's not worth it.

Existentialism

I sing as the bird sings, That on the bough alights, The song that from me springs, Is pay that well requites.

From the Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner. An obscure but amazingly original work - published the year Nietzsche was born!

Generally, Karma in the popular sense.

Yah, this is a really inspirational movie. How a little guy with passion and determination can make a dent in the universe.

With regard to your health, you're probably better off taking Ativan than drinking alcohol to take the edge off. Talk to your doctor.

Sounds like you have Generalized Anxiety Disorder although IANAP. You should talk to someone. You could also try Inositol, Passionflower and/or St. John's Wort as herbal remedies.

Frontend: PHP/Drupal Custom Modules

Backend: Java/POJOs

They are comfortable answering: "I don't know."
