I'm always hearing talk, talk of wealth, talk of materialistic items, talk of a lot of things. Everybody's doing it whether you realize it or not. Everyone's talking about what lies ahead and what they planned for themselves. The goal, well what should be the goal, is success. Success is what separates wasted time from time well spent. But with all the talk of basically planned success, my question is: What is Success? How do I know I was and am successful at the end of the day, year, and my life? Where exactly is the line drawn between failure and success? In hopes that this will implore you to redefine success, I will explain what success is to me. First off, Money is the success of a fool, and as much as I'd like to think most people aren't fools, I'd be ignorant to say most aren't at least foolish, sadly because the world revolves around money. Sure it's great to have enough money to go to nice restaurants instead of always eating fast food and the like. It's of course not smiled upon to live poorly and barely get by. A job makes it seem as if your worth as much as you earn.. sadly. This isn't the truth, just because an engineers job is much more challenging than a janitors, doesn't make the engineer better than the janitor. We are all human beings and we should start acting that way. We shouldn't always be comparing, racing and fighting against each other. I see a conflict and battle erupt in some of the simplest things, like a job or career. Simply because of the false conception that in this cruel naive world, if your an engineer your better than a janitor. I cannot stress enough how incorrect this is but also just plain evil. Of course there are other topics and analogies i could relate this matter to, but I digress. I think that people should only have enough money to live comfortably and that doesn't mean wasting money on rip of shoes like space jam Jordans that, despite the outrageous price, look plain ugly. But I'm sure nobody will agree with my opinion. I think It will stand as just a good point. Most people would agree that the harder your work is the more you should earn, I agree but only to a certain extent. and the extent out of 100 is less then 50 so that means I agree more with earning only enough to live comfortably. The fact that a lot of people with tons of money, preferably stars for this example, spend too much money on junk, crap and worthless material they might not even use once purchased. But enough of that, continuing on with success. I think that the world needs more people that are considerate, and think logically instead of with cruelty, ruthlessness and the like. But how do we find these people? The better question is: How do we raise them? Yeah that's right WE raise them, right here in our own homes. We are the ingredients of Americas future because we raise the future children and the children of today are the future.. obviously. So basically the best thing to me that anyone can do is raise great children. Because the world has enough assholes, idiots, cowards, and overall negative people. We need to raise the our kids right so that they grow up on the concept that we are all created equal and that the color of ones skin, the amount of money one makes, ones occupation, and the like, are all miscellaneous immaturity characteristics that we must get past in order to reveal our true potential. In order to see the real beauty of the world when we walk down the street. In order to see the good people can really do when given the opportunity. And if we raise children like this, they will obviously raise their children just as good, or maybe even better. Because after all that's all a parent want's right? For their children to be better than them? Imagine all the effort your parents have put into you completely transformed so that we can actually reach out true potential. I hope that didn't sound insulting.. what I mean is there are setbacks in life like, and especially, money. Imagine your parents didn't have to worry about money.. not even a little! You and everyone around you lived comfortably! The greatest reward is of sacrifice. The reward would be great equality and perhaps even peace. The sacrifice would be all of the stars and what not wouldn't have all that extra money to throw away. And pardon me If i only refer to them but it is one of the best examples i can use. There are starving people and some are children. Imagine if our taxation money actually went to feeding the needy and fixing out community! And some might say well the needy got themselves there! this isn't necessarily true for many I believe have experienced overwhelming set backs in life which prevents them from better themselves repeatedly. Well what about the rich kids that do wrong?? That's simply an error the fundamentals a child needs early in life. And it's probably the parent gave and bought the kid everything he or she wanted to the kid just to shut him or her up. The attention that's needed early in life can and should form a bond with the child. This bond can go a long way. For example.. what if Raul was feeling bad and talked to his mom about it and not only did she fix the problem but she made him feel better as well. Well what do ya know? If he didn't have his mom about it then he could have gotten mad and went off on somebody! The effects are parents are some of the most profound in ones life. We need to raise good children, to not only make up society but to make it a much better place based on their actions. Then once society is leveled there will be fewer and fewer setbacks for the less fortunate.. eventually there might not be less fortunate (money wise) hence there will be fewer and fewer negative kids.. It will keep getting better and better. So to me the best success I can have in life is raising a damn good kid that I am proud of.Obviously there will be mistakes in his or her life but everyone makes them.. your president, your policemen, everyone.
Even, and i think especially, after a mistake is made a child can still become an excellent person. Let life revolve more around our children and less on money, inequalities, battles, and ourselves.
