focus on business faqs and small business

As the story goes… 400 years ago my ancestor was in the woodlands and came upon an olive tree. He took this tree and was careful with it. He raised it and very careful sold the olives and also planted some. Over time these little plants grew up and provided more olives to sell. With all the money he made from these sales he could aford to buy more and more trees and a small plot of dirt to have them on. Over a period of 40 years he became the only source do to his excellent business acumen.
Now as time goes on this business is passed from son to son for many years and over time got bigger and bigger and even sprouted off into many areas.
Now I got to ask, why should my family who over a period of 400 years worked hard and make great success of our endeavors, have to support people who are just not wanting to work. If someone can take a tiny tree and turn it into what we have, anyone can especially now a days when minorities get everything handed to them. So why is it still like pulling teeth for these people to get out of bed before 6 PM?
Thank you.

My son and his ex-girlfriend Kaleesha are 25 years old, they have been together since high school. Their daughter just turned 7 years old on January 5th, and they also have a son together, he’ll be two years old in June. I’m aware that my son has been cheating AND beating the mother of his kids for years. But I chose to mind my business because they’re both grown. I got other things on my plate. I have mortgage, bills and car insurance to pay. I also have a 19 year old, a 15 year old and a 10 year old to raise. I’m a single woman and I work hard to make ends meet. I’ve ALSO been letting my son and his girlfriend live in my house for over 6 years. Kaleesha’s been living here when BOTH of my grandchildren were born. It was crowded in my house and Lord knows it rarely ever stayed properly cleaned but I dealt with it just like I dealt with all the fighting and arguing between my son and Kaleesha. Plus my younger kids all have issues too with school and their behavior. Look, I was just damn stressed and this is what I get for being nice to folks.
Last year my son’s girlfriend Kaleesha finally earned her associate’s degree. It took her five damn years to finish a 2 year college but she did it, so I’m happy for her. Before the new year came, she was hired as a substitute teacher. Once she got that job, she took my grandchildren and left my son one day while he was at work. My son was angry and he started making threats so she filed a restraining order on him. I just told my son to calm down and don’t do nothing stupid. I told him to let Kaleesha go and make a life for herself. I was nice enough not to press her for any money after 6 years of living in my house. Kaleesha is staying at her mother’s house with the kids. MY SON helped me pay bills, Kaleesha never gave me a DIME. But at least she went to school I’ll give her credit for that. Kaleesha’s mother’s on social security and food stamps. This woman had the nerve to send me a email cussing me out and calling me names and harassing me for not stopping my son from beating her daughter. This is coming from the same woman who kicked Kaleesha out when she got pregnant! I took her in right away out of love for my son. I will go over there and whoop that woman’s behind but I’m 47 years old. I should be past nonsense like that. That’s why I’ve been single for 8 years because I don’t need no man and all that drama. I’ve been beat and cheated on too. I’m DONE with it. Personally, I think Kaleesha’s momma is trying to benefit off of whatever little but of money Kaleesha will be making with this sub-teaching job. I hold my own weight and don’t depend on no damn body. But everybody wants to ask me for favors and I’m too much of a sucker to say no. With that being said, do you think I handled things right these past several years or am I missing something? How could Kaleesha’s mother be right?

I need to figure this out for my international business class, like what do they make the most money off of and, in turn, buy more of?

The following is a small sample of statements made by your brothers and sisters on Y/A regarding the topic of education beyond high school. How, if at all, would you justify your current enrollment in university courses given these arguments against it?
————————————–…
“Those with nursing and engineering degrees are ending up as waiters/waitresses cuz they can’t find work in their chosen field.”
“The only real reason people pursue higher learning is for money or power, not because they want to make the world a better place.”
“We recognize that in the times we’re living in now, additional education beyond high school is completely unnecessary and very unwise. “
“I would rather spend 4 years in full time ministry then 4 years studying secular material.”
“We Jehovah’s Witnesses have spiritual goals, not secular ones. So, to achieve our spiritual goals, we don’t go to colleges, but we learn by preaching and reading the Bible daily.”
“It has been statistically proven that those who go to college wind up not being able to use their degrees because the economy is so bad and there is no need for advanced jobs.”
“Higher education isn’t necessary to complete the task that Jehovah has given us to do because soon universities will have no place anymore.”
“What is the point of attending university for four years when you’ll just end up unemployed and struggling to pay off thousands of dollars of debt?”
“There have been countless studies to confirm that education does not lead to higher income.”
“If you go to college, you will exposed to the bad associations of lewd and lascivious sex and drinking at all times. Your spiritual life is in danger and your time is wasted.”
“Trying to get an education leading to a job in a business soon to go out of business is ludicrous. The whole world is going to go under. The only thing that will remain are those hoping in Jehovah.”
“Anyone who truly loves Jehovah would recognize that college would be detrimental to our faith.”

I’m currently doing B.Sc in Economics & Finance from Lahore, Pakistan. I wish to know which degree (preferably in business administration) would be best for anyone to pursue in Post-Grad, given the market structure, both locally and internationally? I do not intend to do MBA, however i, intend to do M.Sc after i clear my undergrad.

using a Yamaha RXV-2500 Receiver 130 WPC X7, and it also boasts many sound fields including being THX Certified. The Center Channel is a PROFICIENT AUDIO CC550, and according to several expert opinions it is a HORRIBLE speaker. I got it at a rummage sale for 20.00 and it sounds amazing,even better than the Boston Acoustic VR-10 I was using before.
I guess what I am asking is am I missing anything here? I allow the Receiver do what it is supposed to do by getting it to automatically set up the surround parameters and channel levels, using the Parabolic Microphone that comes with it. I do this as a hobby for relaxation,and my Son’s set up Home Theater systems on the side for my business to make some extra cash for school. They seem to think I am OVER THINKING what is going on, and I just want to hear everything I possibly can.
I want to be BETTER THAN THE JONES’S ,NOT KEEP UP WITH THEM…………..Thnx
