2. I bought my own house when I was 22 years old, yea that is a plus point of not attending college to waste time.

3. I was laid off from a company after the first month I started working there, because they were cost cutting and I was studying. They called me back and then when I was leaving them, they offered me a offer which I could not refuse, but I refused nevertheless because it was more like being a jerk working there.

4. I got my first appreciation of my work in the new company barely two months after I joined it with a raise in salary. ......continue reading facts about me

7. I can get pretty sarcastic if you annoy me.

8. I am a practically joker making fun out of situations rather than having to crib about it.

9. The word fear is not in my dictionary, unless it all settles onto me.
