I’ll tell you the problem with the Game of Thrones theory that you’re using here: it didn’t require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had wrote on message boards and you took the next step. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourself, so you don’t take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of GoT forums users to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had… you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now [pounds table with fists] you’re telling me about it! [pounds table with fists] you’re telling me about it!
