To the Quitters of the United Months of KTC

Today - a day which was like any other - Quitters were suddenly and deliberately attacked by craves and mind games of Nicotine.

The quitter was at peace with nicotine and, at the solicitation of our own egos, was still in conversation with nicotine and its bitch looking toward the maintenance of peace in our lives.

Indeed, one hour after the Nic Bitch had commenced low whispers in our mind, she and her colleagues delivered to the quitter a series of subliminal messages to the ego of the quitter. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing level of accountability, it contained no threat or hint of a full on attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of the quitter from KTC makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Nic Bitch has deliberately sought to deceive the quitter by false statements and expressions of hope for continued fleeting thoughts of dip.

The onslaught has caused severe damage to Brotherhood of Accountability. Very many quits have been lost, to those not vested. In addition, Many quitters in many different months have reported cravings and thoughts between many different quit dates.

Yesterday, the Nic Bitch also launched an attack against May 15.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked October 14.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked December 12.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked March 13.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked November 15.

This morning, the Nic Bitch attacked March 16.

The Nic Bitch has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the United Months of KTC. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The quitters of KTC have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very success and accountability of our brotherhood.

As a brother to all quitters, I urge that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Quitters of KTC in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe the will of the brotherhood when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the utmost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall be overcome.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our quitters, our brotherhood and our success are in grave danger.

With confidence in our brotherhood - with the unbounded determination of our quitters - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.

The thing that has gotten me this far is not an abbirivation, but living up to my promise. Being a man of my word, following through every single day. Nothing harder than being able to look in the mirror and not respect the person looking back. I have grown to respect the person looking back more than ever.

There is only thing that matters to me making it to the next +1. In the end, all that alphabet soup is meaningless, unless I am here to give them meaning.

Acoountility is what makes this work. Let yourself be accountable and everything else will fall into place.
Well done brother.
500 Rocks.
Truth can set all free.
You are on a road of freedom.
I quit with you today.

Your words have hit home with me in a big way today Candy. You are 100% right about this, and I will continue to strive to give meaning to those words every single day.

Thanks for everything Candy. I could not have gotten here without the support and guidance you have bestowed along the way. You are one badass quitter and I'd go to quit battle with you in my corner every day of the week. Congrats on the 5th floor, you've earned every ounce of it.

Quote from: Candoit
I had a conversation yesterday with my desk manager about sales. I respect the hell out of this guy, a Puerto Rican Vincent Van Ghoul.

"There was this guy I worked with, smartest guy, I have ever met, and a Marine none the less. The fukr could look at someone once and recall numbers, email, and the color car they drove. However, he could only sell maybe 5 cars a month. He was too smart, people found him to be an arrogant prick, almost insulting that he was so smart. People don't want to buy from smart, they want to buy from knowledgeable. Great fukn guy, horrible fukn salesman.'

I have been thinking about this, since then.

I have stopped apologizing for being me. I don't actually consider myself "smart" or "intelligent", I just have mastered the ability to learn. I know how to learn, apply, and refine that which I have learned. I come across as an arrogant prick or preachy, yeah, I know. But if I change that, I change me. I am far from being a pompous douche, but yet often accused of being egotistical.

I keep thinking about the fact that a certain skill set means that you are forever trapped in a job, role, or classification for life. As in most cases that means you can never expect to make more than someone deems you worth. I am tired of earning what someone thinks I am worth, I want to earn what I am worth.

I will sell 20 cars a month at some point, but right now I want to sell enough to pay my bills.
Who is the best salesman you know? Perhaps a family member? An uncle or grandpa growing up? Someone who could talk to anyone about anything, and make the convo about that person. Make the other person feel good. Deflect all attention from yourself unless it's self effacing. You must be humble yet gregarious. Think of the best salesman you knew from your family as a kid, and start acting like them. Sales is in your blood. You just need to let it flow. Be real. Be humble. Be friendly. Make friends. Be cool. And always, always, do what you say you're gonna do. 80% of salesmen suck because they don't do what they say they're gonna do. The customer is always right.

And I have no doubt you will! Although you do come across as an arrogant prick, I still like you. You ever thought about being an engineer? You meet some of the criteria
