Life That Holds More

So, here's the thing I want a good job when I'm older and I want whats best for the future (family and such). The best piece of advise I found, is what i learnt the hard way. Start young, be prepared to make sacrifices for your work/revision, but get your priorities straight. If the extra work is taking you away from your families, forget about it. If the revision is making you grumpy/angry, talk it through with someone, it could make all the difference. And I'll be honest here, sometimes i don't see the point in having lots of money. I can have a great time without spending a penny (or more commonly these days a pound), but i do agree that as we grow older, more money means a better environment for your family to live in, and means you can give your children a proper childhood. Where do we go from here? If your at school, college, work, ect it's never too late to learn something new. Learning something new will help you and the more effort you put behind it the better, but the catch is all things in moderation. Too much of anything can change a person, too much power makes a person big headed, too much money makes a person believe they are better, when in fact we're all equal in every single way. Sure some people are more tallented in one area (i'm never going to be a world famous painter because i dont have a great love for art). It's how we use our skills to make our lives better that counts.

Everything Beyond Today

It's funny but I've never had a great understanding of people. Sure i have friends, some friends are one in a million, but others come and go as they choose. A few people have confused me, when they say one thing but then go and do anther thing, it can really hurt sometimes. And when you live your life trying to be honest and truthful, all that effort seems wasted. But then again why not put that effort in? Someone will notice and they will remember, and much later on when you need them, they'll be there for you as a friend. Of course friendships can sometimes develop into love...but that's for anther post. The worst thing you can do is blow something out of proportion in your mind. As the days go by you grow more and more suspicious. It's all usually untrue though, and when you think someone really hates you, they just didn't know that much about you in the first place. If you find it taxing and exhausting to be honest and truthful, here's some advice. Learn to talk less. There's a reason we have 2 ears and 1 mouth. Its amazing what you learn when you just listen and then talk. People tend to ask you more as well, sometimes it's because they feel awkward when you don't speak. Usually its because they value your opinion. When it comes to it you may discover your friends aren't as shallow as they seem. Just frustrated with things in general.
