Losing childhood

Espy-you giving up on me that easy, LoL...... way to be a great and supportive therapist.....LoL.

 

Well said my friend. Only in the dictionary does success come before work.

 

Frustratingly, many people are born with success. The majority of "successful" people have not worked as hard to get there as the average grocery store clerk works just to make rent.

I'm an entrepreneur myself, so don't get me wrong. I chase dreams all day every day.

But I meet lazy morons dripping with money all the time.

 

Not giving up on you, just agreeing to disagree on the subject of destiny/fate. I believe we were specifically discussing sex therapy?

 

I completely agree. Wish the system allows me to give you a rep.

 

Gawd knows that the world is full of them... they are usually the ones with some sort of feeling of entitlement.. unmotivated, lazy and not trying one bit.
But entitlement seem to be spreading all over...

 

For me, it was when I was 17 and I had cashed my paycheck from my retail job and left it on the piano in my house. When I went back for it, $80 was missing. I found out that my drug addict older brother stole the money from me. He never gave it back.

That was the time that my parents could no longer hide his addiction from me, and when I realized that the world wasn't such a great place and no one was going to look out for me, but me.

 

This frustrates me so much. They don't appreciate all that they have, while the rest of us are barely keeping our heads above water most of the time....

ARGH. LOL.

 

life is not easy for most people.

I had to grow up fast from have not much worries had so many and didnt know how to handle most i guess this change me a lot ...

from very young i was working with my parents life was not easy but i was still a child after the work but about 16 all started
i dont want to make this big post i guess like i said most have or had something bad happening.

 

The first time you were absolutly lonely..

Bookie, may I ask you, when you had your child, I believe to remember it was one, did something change in yourself, too? The responsibility for yourself. changing into the major responsibility of your baby? (hope it´s understandable,lol)

 

I honestly believe that everyone is responsible for his own happiness. But happiness has different faces. People with less money can be happy, handicapt and sick people can be happy- others are rich and successful and don´t even know how to write it- they were never happy..

Success- first of all, when is some one successful? If someone is successful, because he has a job, is able to pay for his house and can take care of his children- then I agree with Epsy, that is something you can handle by yourself, in any way.

If we talk about success in the league of prominent and rich people, then I agree with GZ, Athena, FG and Bookie. It´s a small group that handles the big Finances, either you are a part of them or not. Sometimes a single one gets the chance via one of that persons. "Those people" at the end make the decision, who will be the next star on heaven. Heidi Klum is a very beautiful woman, but do you honestly think she is the only one? Musicians is the same- how many have the same talent as the big ones we know..but never get a chance..

To become rich and I mean really rich has to be supported and allowed by others and that is destiny.


One thing I forgot- to fall is no disgrace that happens the most of us, but if you don´t get up again, you will lose totally.

 

I agree, and again, I'd give you rep if I could.

Like my signature says, when life gives you lemons, you can either f*ck the lemons and bail or you can make lemonade. Maybe not the lemonade you had plans of making, but there are many types of lemonade.

I am successful because I am raising a daughter to the best of my ability and while I have little money in the bank, there is a roof over her head and food on the table. That's all I can ask for right now. :smt023

 

Yes, absolutely, everything changed for me.

I am the youngest in my family, and never really had to do much. Which is bad, but when I had my daughter, I really had to step up to the plate and be a more responsible person. I accomplished that.

I would never put her into a position that would compromise her happiness in any way. Like I've said in the past, I'm dating for the first time with a child and no matter how well the guy treats me, if he doesn't also extend the same courtesy to my daughter, he's out the door. I will not compromise her happiness and well-being for anyone.

I never wanted kids growing up and into my 20s and now that I have one, I can't imagine living my life without her...and wishing I could have another one. I never expected those words to ever be uttered out of my mouth. LOL.

 

Sometimes you have to hear your own wishes..lol:smt023

 

Diddy's teenage Son Gets A $360,000 Car for birthday

Money might not buy love, but it will buy a six-figure Maybach for the teenaged son of a hip-hop superstar.

Thanks to his dad, hip-hop mogul and businessman Sean "Diddy" Combs, now Justin Dior Combs is the proud owner of a $360,000 luxury sedan.

 

I'm jealous

 

This kind of parent´s behaviour I will never understand..they are preparing the way to an unstable personality. But it seems to happen very often. We say here, the first generation makes the money, the second cannot increase it, just barely keep it, the third is loosing it.


To be honest, heroe, I would prefer happiness before a Maybach...I will never be rich, because I am not greedy, I am not manipulative,I am not selfish, I am not stealing. And that means more for me than a lot of money.

 

the point that i grew up....
it started when my parents were not home and i was in charge of looking after my two younger brothers...i was 7 or 8 years of age.
when my parents sat me down when i was 15 and told me and not my brothers that they were breaking up, then stayed together for an additional 3 months and had me witness the marriage fall apart again...then dragged me through the hell that was the separation and divorce.
getting my first full-time job at 17 so i could move out on my own...then moving out on my own.
ultimately, becoming a mother and realising that nothing before the birth of my children and nothing after could ever be more important than that moment in my life. for the rest of my life i will be responsible for the wellbeing of 2 lives that are not my own. i would die for my children, and i think even kill if it came to that. i remember when i looked into my sons eyes just after he was born and was put in my arms. i was so scared because i realised from that point on i was responsible for this little person. i was going to be his love, security, protection, support, provider...his world, and i would have to put his needs before my own...become selfless. if that doesn't make you grow up, i honestly don't know what will.

 

That´s my girl!:smt038:smt038

 

I have to agree 100%.

There are lazy ass people that dont do shit to help them selfs and have everything handed to them. There are also HARD working people fighting to achieve there dreams and goals but no matter how hard you fight you just cant get there.

I agree also with andrae about greedy ass people on top of the food chain being responsible for a lot of the problems we face in our society.

So I guess it really comes down to luck and hardwork to make it in this world. Obviously when I say "making it" I'm talking about how big our bank account is. But even though I'm not a billionare or millionare I live pretty comfortable, have a great family and great friends, so maybe I did make it.
