Same here.... I suffer being Mr. Brickley, it's just too common in a business atmosphere, but I will never get accustomed to it. "Sir" I will ask not to use. It never feels right to me. I am just Jeff. :cool: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

Yeah, I usually let kids get away with it because they're supposed to be taught manners, etc. But man, it sure does make me feel old to be called "Sir", etc. Jeremy Falcon

I'm indifferent to it. I think our parents preferred it (I don't actually know how old you are though, I'm 31.) but I think today's parents and thirty-somethings don't need the title. Although I think it would be good to reverse that. Kids need to respect those older than themselves and sir names help with that I think...

Well fundamentally I think respect is shown moreso by actions and how I'm treated rather than with a title. Jeremy Falcon

hum,hum... <gangster voice in old movie> Hey Falcon, don't get too picky about titles</ganster voice in old movie>. That's how I feel when people call me without "Mr.". (Of course, this is only for the last name...) So, let it be Jeremy for you. ~RaGE();

I know I'm respected when those around me cower under my thunderous voice.

I agree, but I think kids need to also respect other people their own age too. I have mixed feelings about it. I was raised the same way in that regards and yet when I'm called "Sir" it just doesn't seem right. Personally, I'd rather a kid be polite and listen over him/her calling me "Sir". But, since I don't have kids of my own I reckon it's easier to feel that way. Jeremy Falcon

That has nothing to do with respect. That is fear/terror. Respect is earned, not threatened. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

Even though you are not a graphic artist, I think you should at least consider building your own. Not for profit reasons, but for self reliance reasons. It is very easy to say, "why bother when I can always just play with other's images, I could never do that." and you might find out if you tried, pushed your own limits you could. I am still not a graphics artist, I will never be one. Nor am I a photographer (I usually say I "do photography" rather than "I am a photographer" -- the former implies playing with a sideline hobby, the other implies some skill). I still play with both, and enjoy stretching my own skills. if you google my name you will find absolutely laughable raytracing images (we all start somewhere this[^] is the better one, don't look for the others), but they were originals. My last real raytrace image I still thought was little more than "play" and a recent google on my name turned up the image at several dozen bonzai sites in Japan to my great surprise. It is a "okay" raytrace, but the form and function in bonsai attracted others without the image itself being perfect. The signature is also not-so-subtly placed in the image. http://www.zianet.com/jjustinb/SeasonsInMiniature.jpg[^] In short (since I am well known for being longwinded as above): you never know what you are capable of until you try. You can say forever that you just play with others images, but you can also push yourself to try to make your own. Learn how and why the artists did them, find out what you can do to create your own. Even if you never want to go into the business. Honest, it is worth your time to try. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Funny thing isn't it. Growing up, I never had a problem calling the guy that helped me train "Mr. Mike". It just came natural to me. I guess it may be a respect thing after all, and yet I still find it odd to be called that. Jeremy Falcon

&bnsp;&bnsp; FWIW, I cannot stand that, either.&bnsp; Just call me "James" and be done with it. &bnsp;&bnsp; Peace! -=- James
If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

I'm laughing now. Still not respecting, though. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] When I want privacy, I'll close the bathroom door.

Oh yeah. I way agree. You are outlining the other half of respect. I also think kids need to be taught to respect themselves. I could be way off but I think a lot of kids are walking around questioning their own value to life and society I think that's sad.
