I am now 26 years old, and have endured a life that is full of lessons to be learned the hard way.
Through my faults and flaws and I have thought myself life lessons that will remain part of my character forever.
Hopefully you will also learn from my mistakes.
- Life is expensive!!
Every material thing in life has a price.
Hold on did I say material things.
Lately I have come to understand that even my own health comes with a price tag.
Health insurances are staggering out of the roof. And I am not able to pay it anymore.
Elderly people have to pay for their own expensive medication to feel less pain and stay alive.
Even health has a price tag.
Look at our daily food. I have come to understand that the most healthy stuff to eat is also the most expensive! 1 kilo Meat is € 4,- and is fattening, but filling, while Fish is € 4 at 500 gram.
This means that fish is twice the price of meat.
This also goes for vegetables, Fresh lettuce is € 1,- and canned beans are € 0,50,-
Whit these price differences, you would pick the most cheapest food there is.
No wonder people are becoming more and more sick everyday.
Plus we do not go to a doctor, because health insurance is so high.
Clothing the same thing.
The cheapest products for the poor, and the better quality for the rich.
This is a lesson I have learn. Only rich people can provide themselves the things that are necessary for a healthy and better life - There are fake people in this world
People lie, cheat, and deceive you, right in front of you.
They tell you lies to make themselves look better then you.
Lie about there financial state, Lie about their job, Lie about their life, Lie about their happiness.
Lie Lie Lie Lie.
People are greedy beings, They will do anything for possession of wealth.
People want to create the image that they are perfect, and untouchable.
They will use any means necessary. Hurt other people's feelings.
Take all the wealth of another.
Plastic surgery to ensure their appearance is approved by the society they live in.
Fake extensions on themselves to " beautify " themselves.
Use there appearance to secure themselves from there fragile little selves.
By all means necessary people will always want to be better then the person next to them. - People will not help if it causes them to give up some of their luxury
Luxury is a rank, it means that you have " no worries " and are " perfect "
If any other person in the world needs the help of money, people will think twice before reaching an hand. - Love IS for sale
I know you might be thinking that real love is not chargeable but you are wrong.
When you would be a millionaire, people would gradually want yo be your friend, lover, family.
As soon as you are broke, you have to look far for a friend.
Even families are torn apart over money. - Money is made by the devil
A powerful tool. The most powerful tool on this earth.
Money works like magic.
Always wanted that hot chick from across the street, well she ain't giving you one look, unless you drove up in some snobby car. And ask her out on a expensive date, with wine, exclusive dinner, and candle light.
Money makes people believe they are free of rules, free to do anything they want.
This is true. No mistaken. - A good idea is all it takes
When you have a creative mind, and are able to come up with something new, you can find your way out of your miserable life.
You do not need a college degree to have a good idea that is worth a lot of money.
Maybe you are a graphic designer, and one good job is enough to set your name up with the stars and people are willing to pay good money for your idea.
Now you do not need to be a graphic designer, or even have a job at the matter.
All you need to do, is find what is missing in this world, and try to provide it with it. - Parents are slacking in the 00's
When I was young, I never tried the shit kids are doing today.
Kids are being disrespectful to their parents, and the parents do not know what to do with their kids.
People are being to soft. And in order to learn how to maintain their kids there are television shows as The Super Nanny.
Let me tell you something. I had to take care of my cousins when I was at 12 years old, and I have never had trouble to make them listen to me.
They never ever even tried to call me bitch, or something like that.
I had tricks to make them NOT run around the bus, or telling them WHY NOT to press the red button. They never ever have hit or spitted at me. The didn't dare. I " talked " to them, when they did something wrong, like an adult, because children are not dumb, they know when you dumber things down for them, They hear the tone in your voice that tells them that they are smaller then you, they hate it! You hate it when some kinder garden teacher starts talking to you as if you are a kid. That same feeling kids have too. And a pedagogic tick is not abuse. When You were young you wouldn't dare to do the things that your kids do today. Stop and think about the way your parents raised you, it wasn't that bad right, it worked! - If someone doesn't have a college degree, doesn't mean that this person is dumb
People assume that papers can do the talking for someones intellect.
The level on the paper determines how this person thinks.
This is partially true.
When you have studied up to I don't know 4 degrees, you have a lot of book wisdom.
When you graduate, your level on paper will be higher than a person doing the same occupation what you have studied for, for about his / hers entire life.
But remember, you will never gain as much experience in your profession as they do.
They have seen a company rise, they have seen all the aspects of the profession, they know more then you think. Be aware of these people, because they have more to loose than you. And if you fire them because you are the " High Boss " you have ruined their life. - Don't judge a book by it's cover
A wise saying, and true too it very nature.
It is not the cover that matters, but what wisdom you can gain from the book itself.
This also goes for people.
Never underestimate people, they are capable of doing wonderfulness things, only if you are willing to give them a chance. - Life has more to offer then wealth
A human life is precious, the time we spend on earth is shorter then you think.
Spend it wisely, and become a loving memory in people's hearts. This way you will gain immortality.
Or else you'r doomed to be lonesome and forgotten. - Money does buy happiness, but comfort
It is true that the real meanings of life are not able to be bought.
But to ensure yourself, and the ones that you love, you need money to create a save envoirment for them to life in. - Loose your stupid pride
This is one of the biggest life lessons.
Pride will prevent you from seeing your own faults.
You have them, everybody has them.
Your pride stands in the way of confessing to yourself that you were wrong. And then pride stands in the way again for telling someone else you were wrong, or even more important, That you are sorry.
You need to see your mistakes to solve them and not make those stupid mistakes again. You NEED to learn about yourself, before you better yourself. Unless you let pride keep you, you will never succeed. - Know your " Real " friends
We all have them, fake and real friends.
But what is the difference?
Ever had a problem that you need to be heard by someone?
And all your friend did was just sit there and stare at a wall and nod.
That is NOT your real friend.
A real friend does not have to come up with a answer, or a solution. Just the attention is enough.
A real friends understand that you need help, and is willing to help you, free of charge. No matter what.
