It's really not the same. I'm a consultant and also run a successful business on the side. With my side business, I get to control everything and the feeling I get when I'm actually successful cannot compare to anything fro

I went to a university that gave minority groups extra points and had entrance quotas. The result was that 90% couldn't make it and dropped out after the first year or just completely failed. If you can't get into school based on

This is going to be a tough sell. $150 dollars is very expensive for a portable game system, which will compete with any tablet/phone that can play games that have better graphics and game play. The problem is that this is competing wi
