Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Everyone out there.

I am 64 and still plugging in the data.

I started planning with a sheet of graph paper and ruler and pencil.

Is there anybody who used papyrus?

Gentlemen

Well I guess if you have just put out a 75 year old to pasture (is the grass still greener on the other side ? )
Then where do i fit into that at 69

I have several colleagues who are older than me and are still working, but haven’t been in the game as long as me.

So that raises the question Oldest or Longest ?

Back to the original question.

We have just put a 75 year old out to grass.

However, he’s after a contract in the midlands.
He can provide his own slate & chalk.

James,

I believe you should have a high level of emotional intelligence. This type of intelligence “is the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize, remember, describe, identify, learn from, manage, understand and explain emotions”

You are right with your comment about feeling sad when I wrote about Float. My boat is not floating, is sinking.

If you have noticed my mood then you should have a high level of emotional intelligence.

Cheers,

Sensei,

How a owner can own the float when ha has no IDEA about WHAT a float is.

You well educated planners or dreamers believe that everybody is like you.

In my small world, no one has an idea about total float or all type of floats that P6 has.

Cheers,

James,

Noah doesnt have any float.

He got to built the ark as fast as he could because the flood will come, not a six day programme, it was 7 days a week programme.

And he did built the ark on time before the flood comes and all the animals safe in the ark.

Cheers,

Hi Mike,

Going back to your original post, I started the same way you did, but you’ve got me beat in the age stakes (just). How about Raf Dua? He was there when PERT and CPM were invented.

Hi All

In the beginning was the word and the word was "Critical" and Noah had sole use of any "Float"

Best regards

Sensei,

What Adam and Eva represent in my belief must exist in others beliefs. For instance in the Chinese philosophy the Yin & Yang.

Keep checking ...

Yashwant,

I like misunderstanding, specially based on cultures. When you wrote “, we are all forgetting, who planned the existence of Adam-Eve” , I thought in GOD as a planner at the moment of creating the world.

My answer to you was based on this.

I believe that Mike T. understood my message. May be.

Cheers,

We can use time machine and revert back to

the eygtians building pyramids

or the chinese constructing The great wall of China

or

go back to the time of herodutos

and you will know how planning was done to construct the seven wonders of the world.
