I'm glad it bothers you that I don't like 's.
Again someone without kids. I waited until almost 30 to have my kiddos so I obviously wasn't a teenage idiot that didn't know what a condom was. I was married before and didn't have kids with her. So how does your logic work with the "10%" that knew what they were doing?
It's kind of re ed saying you "know how to do things right" when it comes to kids but have absolutely no experience raising one. You can't know how to do something right if you've never done it.
Maybe, kids just need to realize that we live in a ty evil world? We live in a world where not everyone is going to live the good life. A lot of people have struggled their whole lives just to survive. We live in a ed up world. Not everyone gets to have a happy ending or a happy anything. Some people are going to be poor their whole lives while others will be rich and wealthy and some people will live comfortably and not really ever have to work their entire lives.
Dude, if you think the world's ty, you haven't seen enough of it. Maybe it'd be time to consider living somewhere else for a while. Target's gotta be able to transfer you to a place that might change your outlook on life. Maybe go learn to ski in Colorado or surf in California. Or go to Florida and be a beach bum on your day off. Or go out and ride bikes in the mountains in Oregon. Anything that gives something to look forward to and relieves the stress from working a job you hate. In a way, you have quite a bit of freedom with no serious career and no children tying you down to an area.
baseline bum, you bring up some good points. Props to that. I have actually been tempted to ask for a transfer but a part of me thinks that since I've survived this long at the same Target store then I can probably survive longer there. A transfer to California or Florida would be sweet but I've done the math before and I wouldn't make enough at Target to live on my own especially in California or Florida. If I was gonna transfer to Florida, I probably pick somewhere around Orlando. I went there last year. That area kicks ass. Cocoa beach was the only beach that we went to when we were there but it was awesome. That's one thing that I hate about North Texas. The scenery sucks ass here. Just plains and prairies. No mountains, hills, or oceans.
The world and the people in it are not evil...except during rush hour. Some people suck, some people swallow, but mostly folks are good natured, if a bit stressed out. My God man, you work retail?! No wonder you're circling the drain. Seriously, work harder at finding a new position away from retail. Now, that you've earned your degree, it's time you started learning and really applying.Re: Hard work pays off - Agree or Disagree?
I think one of the main problems I have is that I didn't realize that the world was a ty place and that not everyone is a good/nice person until I got out of high school. That's how naive I was when I was younger. I use to honestly think that the world was a good place and that everyone was a good person at heart. As I got out of high school, I realized that the world is an evil place. I also realized that not everyone is a good person. A majority of people on Earth and especially in America are only care about the dollar bill and themselves. I wasn't always a complainer/crying . I try not to let my job get to me because it's retail. I shouldn't let a retail job stress me out and make me such a basket-case but I'm a weak person and let it do that to me. I also was betrayed and burned by a lot of people in my past so it's kind of made me a little paranoid and hostile toward people. I'm the type of person that believes that people will do whatever it takes to get to the top in life and if that means stabbing someone in the back or screwing someone over, they will do it.
As far as hard work leading to success, I know for a fact that a lack of hard will bring failure. Whether the hard work be mental, physical, or a combination, I always work as though I own the company and that my children's lives and my goals depend upon my enthusiastic reliability.
And if you really want to know why all those people blew smoke up your ass in the past, go back and ask the survivors why they told you, "you could do anything, if you worked hard", they probably care more about you personally, than all the combined goodwill of all the internet gurus.
Luck helps too, so... good luck.
