Thru the course of time the human race goes thru the cycle of yes and no, good and not so good, great and not so great. The average human is the product of the social environment and our own choices. Enviroment being the result of choices of the masses - country, state, city, community, groups, and even family . Our choices may or may not include the ability to change some of these. The more opportunity of change / choice brings more responsibility. Think on this! Dig your way out of a hole? Can you dig thru to the other side? Can you dig thru the earth? Point being, is digging a real option? Think on this! Build your way out? Do you have the tools or resources to build with? Do you have the knowledge to know what to build? Now, here is the real hard questions, it usually has the simplest and smallest answer but is the hardest to see. (ALWAYS KEEP IT TO THE TRUTH) How do you eat an elephant? (you cut it into small pieces you can eat) What is the big situation? How can I cut it into smaller pieces? What pieces do I eat and which ones do I throw back for a later look or into the trash and forget? If this is not working, then what produced the situation and can I undo it? Sometimes the simplest solution is just trash it and walk away. Today's problems seem to be always bigger today than yesterday's but they are all big at the time they face you. It is your choice to face them or walk around them. Job hiring is easier when you know the players. The majority of new placement has become polluted by the lies of higher education and government involvement. Anytime government gets involved in anything it becomes bigger, slower, more complex, more expensive and less productive. It has to many parasites. We are at a point in our countries cycle were previous civilizations have collapsed and we are in real danger. We are surrounded by scammers offering job opportunities BUT the jobs are FROM OTHERS just pay them for something. Educational institutions are becoming just as bad and government has and is fueling this. I can go on but I will suggest if there is a thing you love, try to develop it into a business of type. This way you have a little more control of things and more opportunity of your choosing. In these times many are losing everything and I have. What it has done is bring me into a reality of survival that "You need yourself, which for me includes religion, family, and close trusted friends." Learn the things you need not the things they say you need, in or out of an institutional environment. Real tools need no paper of greatness, how many of these can do into the wild and bring home food. PEOPLE LIE mostly to themselves so they feel worth more than they are. Find peace in yourself. Do you really want to work for someone who stands with is back to the door looking at his own papers on the wall? He/she expects you to work and produce a means that he/she will survive on? You work they take? America was strong when most were farmers not industrial labor. Life was never meant to be easy. Social security and welfare are political scams of today's politicians. Every wonder the similarity of politician and prostitute? Every time we let an ignorant vote, we all play Russian roulette.
