Read this before anything else, it's important.

Because you might seriously be missing  vital points. Read this through carefully.


I want you to read my posts when you only feel like it, do not read when you don't have the suitable mood. My posts may be long, so take your time, add a bookmark, stop whenever you want to, continue when it feels comfortable.


Whenever you have the chance to express your opinion, do it. I would really love to read your comments, your views/thoughts. If you have a question ask, if you think that I made a mistake, then tell me.


The way I type my posts may be different than others, the fonts may change, a few of the words may be in bold/italic, the colors may change, and everything else.


This is because I may type in different expressions and I would exaggerate on a few points, just the way I write in my book, that is, if you have ever read my book (Only a few of my classmates have read it). Here are a few guidelines;


Things that are written in red means high exaggeration, I am very concerned and also furious about the point I'm writing in this color, you should think about it seriously. This may also be strengthened with an underline, bold, or maybe even italic, probably 2 or more of those all together, according to the way I feel.


When typing in blue, I'm pretty much in an 'un-serious' mood, probably something that I find funny, maybe not, but it's not all that stressed. Just something to be known.


The casual black/white (Depend on which template you're viewing) is the normal feeling I have when writing, I feel like there's something to be told, something deep, something that other people could learn from, the points written are still points that are to be concerned, but not as exaggerated as in red.


I may also change fonts, sizes, or just about anything that I find that describes my feelings the best. If it gets too complicated, I'd add further notes, or you can just ask me.


The posts typed in this blog will also be featured in my book, and I (seriously) wish to publish this book. I don't really mind what kind of audience that will be reading my book/blog, because I believe it's something that everyone should read, understand, and use it in their lives.

That's pretty much everything that you should know about before reading on, if there's anything to add in the future I'll notify in my newer posts and edit this one.




Now that's out of the way, maybe some of you are wondering what am I actually writing about. If you think that this blog is just going to be about my whole life, complaining about everything, bragging about anything, posting things that don't even concern you the tiniest bit, then you're wrong. My blog does not serve such purposes. I post things that you probably have thought about, but have never expressed, things that you have thought deeply once before, things you think rarely. I could be wrong about just now, but my posts are things that you have to understand, and learn something from them, if you haven't already. I'm not forcing you to be someone that you're not, or someone that's evil, no, I want you to do the things you really want, achieve the things that you have dreamed of, I wish for the best of everyone. I may not be perfect, I may be wrong in some cases, but that's where other people should come in and help. I always try to confirm my thoughts everyday, I find every possibility, I don't blindly come up with ideas.


I'm just 17, and I'm sure that most of you could be thinking that why would someone like me do things like this? Teaching other people how to live their lives? Do I really know how to live a life? Do I have the experience? Are you hoping that someone else, preferably, somebody old, somebody successful, to teach how you should do things?


Just because you have more experience than I do, doesn't make you better, what matters is how much you learn from them. Sure, if you have more experience, you can learn even more from them than me, but did you? Have you? I don't just learn from experience, I learned from observing, from research, and also experiments. I make sure that the things that I learned before are still true to this day.


Just because you are richer than me, doesn't make you better than me either. (No, I'm not implying that I'm better than all of you, really, just some.) The fact is, money is just a symbol, it's a symbol of your deeds. Before money invented, barter trade was the method to get the things you want, and I actually liked the way it was before than now, but there's an even better method, but more on that later. Let's say you had a lot of fruits, so much that you can't use all of them, you managed to grow more crops than you need. Rather than being greedy and take all of it, you decide to make a good deed and give them to other people, you cared about them. We'll just say that you did it for free, with no charge at all. You expect nothing in return, because you had excess of it.

Let's switch places. How about if you were given fruits for free? You would greatly appreciate it, it's free, and it's something you need, and of course, you won't be wishing for a laptop, iphone or a car during the old times. How do you really feel? Do you feel like that you owe him something? No? Well yeah, probably not, but what do you feel about the guy that just helped you? If you had something in excess like him, would you return the favor? Do you feel somehow, attached to him? Are you happy to know people like him? Well I'm not greedy, I care about people who cared about me. I'm human, so why not? I'll help him.

What does this have to do with 'money'? Take a look, this was the oldest form of the system of 'money'. When you gave something to other people, that is what you just 'sold'. You did without any intention of 'money', but that doesn't really matter. And when somebody returned the favor and gave something for you, that was the 'price' for the things you just 'sold' and your 'money'. No matter how much you avoid the 'money' it comes to you, every action has it's own price. And this is the best point. Now that real money is invented, the money that we receive now is the 'returned favor' that we received for our 'deeds'. Take a look at the world now, isn't it the other way around? Pretty weird, probably even funny, no? How much of all of you work for the money? Have you even cared about the things that you do? You work part-time at places such as restaurants, and you served customers just because you wanted the money. You did things just for other people to 'return the favor'. Why won't you care about the things that you do? Many people have responded me "Because they don't have any other choice.", I understand their predicament, but you can love the things you do. Seriously, there are a few examples, you can love helping people to eat what they want, and have you ever wondered, ever enjoyed, to see the smile on your customers when they eat the delicious food you just made? You made a burger with all of your heart, place the ingredients to make it taste just nice, arrange it to look better. Now have a look at your customers enjoying their food, doesn't that make you happy? Why won't you do things just like that? Probably there are a few rude customers, maybe some that show less expression, but the problem's with them, not you, they should read this blog, too. The fact that some people really enjoyed your food is already enough to motivate you to do more.

Back on topic, with the things that I have just told you, how do I confirm that you are better than me? Did you do things just for the 'money'? Why does it matter, really? Honesty, my friend, be honest with the things you do. If you kept doing your job just for the money, you will most probably end up having people respect you just because of your money, not for what you are. People love you just because you have more money. If you were to do things with honesty, people know that you do your job because you care about everyone else, people respect you because of that, they don't look at your money. People love you because you loved them, you made a great favor for them. They owe you something, but in a good way. They help you when you need it.

And that's pretty much my first blog post. Thanks for your time. Leave a comment/response below, because I'm eager to know what you have in mind.
