And yes I agree with you the only way to face a problem is face it and do something about it rather than whine and hope the problem goes away or someone else comes and fixes it for you. Thats what a majority of whiners expect.



So stop whining about their whining.



Are you asking for the thread to end ? ;)
Darn..how will I pass the afternoon now?:D

Not just that!

Don’t get me wrong, but a person who’s reasonably well settled in Canada may not necessarily have much to gain from a site where a majority of the posters are struggling to just stay afloat. There’s a wee bit of networking that can take place, but everything else gets lost in the din of irrational and over the top statements.

Guess those of us who stuck on as contributors have one reason or the other for doing so. In my case it was probably because it appealed to my combative side……:)



Thats definetly possible. Some may or maynot be aware of Internet forums. I was addicted to internet forums before I joined CD.

Among newer immigrants (and I get to meet them on a daily basis), they are not even aware what internet forums are. Plus as with successfull people they have their own daily work, etc...family to look after.

So its down to a handful of us....

Yo, they have overcome odds(negative circumstances). Thats why you would consider them successful. There are other serious matters they have to attend to so as to maintain or build on their success. Often it means fighting more odds than just 'finding a good job'. Speaking for myself, that's easier to do that than 'Create good jobs'.

They dont have a problem :) that can be solved by CD.

I'm in the media biz...so I have something to gain by keeping an eye on the pulse of CD's. Most of my proposals to gocvt bodies involve our culture/roots. If I were an successful aeronautical eng OR a professor...I prolly would not be here.



So if you were an *unsuccessful* aeronautical engineer or a Prof you would be here then? :D

kidding... but its all semantics isnt it? Degrees of success.. What measure of success do u mean? money? property? happiness? integration into the mainstream?

According to me its self defined :). Mercury thinks a good job and mortgage is good enough...and he would be right.

However as VJ found out in his post in the success section...that(self-defined notions of success) is not what it means to many. They could be right too.

Nope. I never said mortgage is a good thing.:D
Thats what comes after the success part.

A 1/2 decent job is a basic requirement..

So far,
one short animation(drawn from indian mythology), one documentary(to be shot in india) and
childrens TV series(but that one's for the long haul)

Talking about docs...anyone seen 'born into brothels' yet?

I guess we're digressing from the op now.
