i don't really consider myself a loser.
not really a winner either but at least can stand on my own 2 feet and support my family without any handouts. thats good enough, and anything more is a bonus i guess.
What's the definition of success ?
I believe all this loser bullshit comes from America..
We're all going to die, we just have to keep ourselves amused while we wait.
I was a loser!
Things change and shit happens.:)
I aint no loser - well except when Thetyim pays the local village kids 20 baht per high score of mine that they beat.
I don't feel like a loser, sure I've been hit for six many times but when it all comes down to it, what I do and how I conduct myself during my time makes me feel good. I see a lot of good, I see alot of people putting themselves through pain to get to where they think they want to be but thwenit is not enough and they go through more pain to get somewhere else. I'm content. Today.
Exactly.Quote:

Why would we all be losers? There is a diversity of people on this site, with different circumstances and expectations.
^Ah, but they're all geeky sexpat wannabes, aren't they?
No, it's just you.Quote:

Is this a site for losers, I shoud feel at home here then:)
It seems a lot of expats in South East Asia go through this ritual of 'whether or not they are a loser,' or are afraid of being a 'loser.'Quote:

I'm not sure what the definition is.
What is the definition of "success?"Quote:
why do you all WANT success?
How happy you are with your lot I suppose.Quote:

Fuggin' losers :p
What's important to you?
How the world sees you? Or how you see yourself?
Having the respect and admiration of those you care about is nice. Having self-respect and the confidence you are doing what you want/expect of those around you, makes you "not-a-loser" in my book.
Having what you want, or success, rich or famous who gives a fuck?
if you think of yourself as a loser, then you have lost. In life you only lose when you give up.
^or wear a sock and sandals combination, whichever comes first:)
You notice that someone just posted a thread advertising on-line poker. he must have googled "losers" and made his way straight here.
I think there are losers in Thailand; those people who
- live in Thailand but make no effort to learn the language
- live in Thailand because they can scam an easy lazy living at the expense of others
- have burned their bridges not knowing if they will end up hating thailand a few years from now
Do you think you, yourself, are a winner, Smeg?
If so, explain why in 50 words or less (or more if it's interesting)
what has learning Thai got to do with anything?
i didnt get where i am today by learning another language.
NickA, go practise yer interview skills elsewhere :p
Makes you a winner in Orchard Towers perhaps ?:dev+ang:Quote:

another drunken post- apologies:bunny3:
I only post when I'm drunk on here these days - I wonder why that is
^You've forgotten your password and can only remember it when you're drunk?
Or you have an evil girlfriend who doesn't let you post, so you have to drink her under the table first?
Or.........

Groucho Marx, I believe.
Loser (n): A person who acts in discordance to who they believe themself to be, i.e. A policeman that steals, or a thief that purchases.
"Success, happy, loser, winner."
They are.....labels
Be wary of labels.
