Default JBJ: I am better than you all

This is taken from Becky's signature:

"Don’t get too comfortable with who you are at any given time -- you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be. " as said by JBJ at an out of his depth, fish out of water speech at Oxford University (maybe they will let him in with his 'doctorate' degree - hahaha).

I interpet this as Jon saying that his life is great, and the lives of most other people aren't. "You may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be" implies that he thinks that people who haven't 'achieved' what he has must automatically be stuck in a dead end job that they don't like and they are unhappy with.

Come on Jon, I bet the Oxford students were laughing at you afterwards: "that stupid rock star thinks he's the dog's b0ll0cks, I'd like to see him prove that e^(-x*x) cannot be integrated."

"you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be" = you are not what you want to be right now because you are not as 'successful' as me.

Have NO idea how you came to your conclusion. Its a statement for everyone even him. Its not about saying your not great. Its saying never give up.. keep the faith etc.. because you dont have to settle for being something you dont want.. dont get complacent.. dont let who you want to be just walk on by. Keep on dreamin etc etc etc

totally disagree. you obviously think the guy is clever or articulate enough to hide something like that behind a phrase such as he said? i don't.

proving that e^(-x*x) can't be integrated isn't the most difficult thing in the world. it's english A level standard.

Its supposed to be INSPIRATIONAL krb - something someone as narrow-minded as yourself wouldn't understand. Why don't you take things as they were meant rather than reading stupid things in them?

because he hasn't grasped the theory that trying to be controversial on a message board has been done all too many times before.
