Search for the truth and you will find it

I actually laugh when I read your comments. Are Blogs and forums only for bitching? I give sound advice from my own personal experience and you fail to ask the right questions. You only assume I am lying. Have any of you investigated my information. Have any of come up with any proof other than that I made a few spelling mistakes. If I am lying you should be able to prove me wrong by asking questions. You should go back and read threw the forum again.

I say this nicely. I would not think it was a stretch of my imagination if none of you guys are able to reach this every month. I know you guys are trying to help people. Making sure people get the correct information is crucial. It can make a difference in ones life. I don’t think I’d be hallucinating if I said you immediately made your mind up about my ad the second you saw it. You throw words of accusation and accuse me of being some kind of master mind spammer. I agree a spammer has no business on this sight. The truth is I am grateful for the service I received and I want to share this with people. I honestly think it can help them. In my life I have been successful at everything I have ever done. I think one reason is I don’t judge before I know the facts.
You can do two things you can throw up more unproven hate mail or you can take the information I gave you and investigate. Take it as grains of salt don’t be afraid to question everything. A wise man once said

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.

The FACTS

This guy is a loon.

LTI gives you a TEFL Certificate and job referrals.
  • 1. You don't have to go to LTI to get the Cert.
  • 2. You can find your own jobs with a little work on the boards.

I never accused the guy of lying about anything but his personal attacks against me - in which he persists - "threw" (the way he spells it) which I have simply tried to point out the obvious.
  • 1. LTI is not making the difference. The fact that he's working 30 plus hours a week is making the difference.
  • 2. His original post was misleading as I had an e-mail from someone asking if they could really make 17,000 RMB in a school.

The e-mail, and I understand how the guy came to the conclusion, prompted my investigation into this thread where the truth was laid bare. He starts out saying "The best offer I got . . ." Emphasis on "the" added by me. "The", in this use of the word, is easily taken as a single offer from a single entity - and 7,000 RMB is not a bad offer. However, he did not originally clarify that he is working at least three different jobs and over 30 hours a week when he then said, "I am earning 17,000 RMB a month after taxes . . ."

That leaves everyone to wonder what kind of moron signed him up at the school he's working at, and how in the world do we get the name, telephone number, and e-mail address of THIS school?! Shame on us for reading into his thread something he did not actually say. Shame on him for positioning it that way.

Even when pressed he still fails to tell exactly how many hours he's putting in even though he's been given multiple chances. Look, if I work 30 plus hours and I'm NOT getting near 17,000 RMB, something is wrong! That's not the message this guy is dishing out though. He's saying "Go to LTI and you'll make 12,000 RMB a month guaranteed! I'm making 17,000 RMB NOW!! Woo hoo!! I've been transformed!" It's all positioned so that LTI is the answer - which you have to PAY for - but he fails to give other options that are just as handy.

Here's one of my favorites: ChinaSplash.com - Jobs in China
Go to this FREE website service. Sign up. Get your resume in their system. Happy hunting. You can update your resume as often as you like, and their computer will match your resume and salary requirements to the jobs listed in their database. Within an hour you'll be "turning down work", too.

But, alas, that wasn't the case. Instead of giving us other options, he'd have us believe LTI will "transform" us. Make up your own mind. As for me, I'm "threw" with this clown.

I have said all I need to

Wise men speak because they have something to say, fools because they have to say something.
