Improbable yet not impossible, the exception and not the rule. Again I must reiterate that my story is indeed genuine.
The answers to all of the questions raised by skeptics lie in my OP. To touch on them quickly:
1. As I stated in my OP I live abroad. Thus, it would be logical to assume that I earn my living in a currency which is not Canadian dollars and as such when you convert my salary to Canadian it is entirely possible that my total compensation equates to above $250,000. (And yes, I do pay the correct taxes in all jurisdictions :biggrin1: )
2. While it is indeed unlikely that any individual of my age would be in the position I am in, it is not impossible. As I mentioned, I joined when the company was a start-up and where I have been successful is in taking a business in start-up phase to long term sustainability and growth. In other words, any business owner and entrepreneur can tell you that it doesn't matter if a person has 3 years or 30 years of work experience. If an individual possesses strong leadership ability, exceptional business acumen and the ability to grow a business through initiative, passion and damn hard work, then a piece of paper (such as a resume) becomes significantly more insignificant. (Sure there is more to it then that, don't get me wrong, but hopefully you get the general premise of this statement)
Perhaps it is as Marshall McLuhan once said- the medium is the message. My story is more likely to seem far fetched given the impersonal nature of my posting habits on Terb and I can completely understand the reluctance to accept the extraordinary nature of my story.
I apologise if I have offended anyone with my post or if I came across as conceited or arrogant. What I was hoping to illustrate is that our job and our circumstances do not define who we are. Our ethics, drive, passion and spirit define who we are and we all have the ability to be successful (in whatever way we chose to define the word). And in our success we shouldn't forget that our life experiences help make us who we are so good or bad, we need to be thankful for the lessons we learn along the way.
Thank you again for your support and thank you for criticisms. This is what keeps the world interesting!
