Clearly you have a formula that works. But I was merely commenting that I wish your comment was more helpful, because you clearly have wisdom to share.

Between the two comments of yours that I’ve replied to, you used the first-person “I/me/mine” 39 times. Take that for what you will.

If you were to go back in time to a younger version of yourself, what advice might you have offered about life?

Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder about something.

Why education? Because I was told by teachers I would never amount to anything and I dropped out of school.

I wouldn't say anything to my younger self. I'd just kick my younger self's ass for wasting time and opportunity and listening to adults.

There you go, you can add a few more I/me/mine's to your total count.

> Clearly you have a formula that works.

I/me/mine literally gave you a formula that works. In plain English. At least for I/me/mine. And you wish the comment were more helpful?
