it always seems that the worlds most successful people are college drop outs....take bill gates for example.

Perhaps these free thinkers fell that the structured cirriculum of college will hold them back

I think to be super succesful you have to be a free thinker - or outside the box as Oakley likes to call it - and have to have an open mind. I lasted 1.5 years in college but one thing that wasn't thought to me was free thinking.

It's more like college and a carreer being at the same office with the same people all day got me freaked out. I thought.

JJ is worth 1.3B & it still looks like a pimple on Bill Gates Giant disk. Until now I didn't even know he lived in Wa

Oakleys however always work and windows...well...

So I guess, in order to be super succesful, you have to both be a college drop-out and make a faulty product!

a lot of those successful people drop out just to persue their career, not necessarily that they failed out, its just that they saw a pot of gold and went for it, leaving everything else behind, which included school

do you know Ed personally , Tick ? LOL

Gates made his fortune by selling his product in bits and pieces

if you would buy oakley's like you would buy computers, you would pay for the earsocks, nosepieces , cleanup bag , box , and warranty seperately...

Gates made his fortune because he made his product indispensable to a majority of the population. Splitting his product into bits and pieces was, rather, the idea promoted by anti-trust law makers who didn't want him to bundle his products together leading to unfair competition, which is nothing but a dismal failure for us consumers.

With global warming and increased temperature and UV rays, this may soon mean that sunglasses will become indispensable = Buy more Oakley stocks. Selling part by part will only make Oakley another Lego, very unpopular.

Keep contributing to this thread and very soon we can compile a "Dysfuntional Guide to Becoming Rich" to compliment Tick's masterpiece Joke book.

With Hawaii's economic future already not the greatest pre pandemic, now the pause shit with the economy the last two months it's a smart play. He can probably buy them back at the end of the year for 1/3 the price.
