different struggles but one dstiny
i just feel like putting this blog out theredont judge me coz of where i am coming from or where i am at
but where i am going .
sometimes people in our lives let us feel worthless because we may not have a a sophisticated job , drive a fancy car or own a mansion .
we are looked upon as being worthless.
everyone wasnt born to do the same level of jobs , drive the same kind of cars , own the same size house if so who would empty the bins? who would buy your older model cares or even work on them? where would everyone find enough land space to accommodate all the mansions ?
we all have our place in this world and we werent all born to be high achievers .
but in the sense of the world we are all equal no matter what we do , own or have achieved we all have had our struggles and until u have been where i have been u can never call me worthless .

"we werent all born to be high achievers"
I think being an achiever is an attitude and thus it is acquired. It is not something one is born with. It is something one struggles for. Of course, some will have it easier than others but if one works hard, he can achieve a lot. me 2p.
Every where we were confronted with certain classes and you were treated accordingly.
At work the manager was "Sir"
At 16 I worked in Belgium as a maid and had to call their daughter Miss, she was about my age, and I never did call her Miss.
My boss told me that when their home was finished building I would have to eat in the kitchen.
I told her that at my home only the dog ate in the kitchen.
We did not have a dog but I rebelled against this class distinction.
Started to work full time at age 14, 44 hours a week and worked myself up in the place, long story..............
i can relate to your story i was born in a poor town and still even though all was poor around us we were still below a lot but we cant let that keep us down .
there are people who were told as a kids that they will never be nothing and that has given them the idea that they will never make it and as adults they stay behind without bothering to show their true potential .
i saw a man and because he was homeless he was treated differently and that really got to me because we never know what fate had in store for us all today we could worth a billion and tomorrow we can worth nothing.
keep going strong dear i wish u all the best
we can only speak from our own perspective
as i have stated in my blog
until u have been where i have been never call me worthless.
it is written a child shall lead them
But seriously though, she made me think for a second and I said to her you taught me so much about gardening and cooking why would I ever take into consideration what you do for a living......??? And she smiled and that was the last I've heard about it.......
as i have said we can only speak from where we are at in our lives now being financially poor is not a crime either
but spiritual poor is, thats where your riches is anyway .
but i speak for the persons that doesnt hold down a managers position in a big firm and are treated badly because of their financial status.
what we must also keep in mind is that people are not financial poor by choice .
ever heard the saying the rich will be richer and the poor poorer?
the richer class sometimes help to keep the poorer class down i have seen it many times .
what i have posted here is what i have seen with my own 2 eyes .
yes we must rejoice in what we have because when u all look around us there are always someone worst off
a friend once told me that he had a friend who was homeless and was sleeping on a train , people would get up from where he sat because he wasnt smelling ok,
no one tried to find out if he was ever hungry they just scorn him the man wasnt man , he was just homeless and trying to find his way in life .
now he and this man started talking and the man relate his story and they became such friend even begged his booss to let the man work the day with him so he could pay him from his own pocket and he did it wasnt even legal but he helped the man and they became good friends .
now he was at a party and and this woman he mat at the party ask him to drop the friendship with the man because he doesnt look like he was in his category.
know what my friend did? he took the mike call his friend at the centerstage of the party and claimed his friend .
so she could go to hell if she wants ..
thats reality not a story
so sand its who we are
i have done many kind of jobs i have also cleaned houses for a living i have raised chickens i have my kids they need to be fed i am not gonna beg ever its fair work my money spend the same place yours do.
a lot dont see it that way thank God for the persons that have a clear vision
There was a time when I worked as a housekeeper in a hospital. For me at that time, it was a good job; good pay, full-time, with benefits and holidays. And I worked hard, while at the same time raising 3 kids.
One day a nurse passed by me. She was talking to 2 other nurses and as they passed me I heard her say, "I don't know why anyone would aspire to clean for a living". It isn't what I aspired to do, but at that time it was the best I could do.
If only people would judge each other more by their integrity and less by what they have we would certainly be living in a kinder world.
because spiritual wealth will not let u walk on others u will see who u are instead of your billions
I had a spanner thrown into the works more than once, but I always got up, dusted myself off and worked. I am happy where I am at this stage in my life, but it took me many years to get there. In the progress I have worked in manual jobs to pay the bills. It is nothing I'm ashamed off, I could work and earn money instead of having to be on the dole.
I have friends I have things in common with, some of them have their own business, and some of them just get by. It doesn't make one bit of a difference to me, same as it didn't make one bit of a difference to them when I didn't have money.
yes thats how it should be we all have had our struggles
and this blog show who the real people are in this world because of our struggles it has made us in the person we are today.
loving and compassionate with others even though they may not have the financial capabilities that some have it doesnt mean that they are lower than anyone else , and we can treat them just as good as any other.
in this life the persons with the best of heart is the poorer sets i have also sen where the less fortunate gave more than the fortunate ones to society.
as for DOLE here in my country its either work and survive or dont work beg or starve no welfare around my corner
I have changed my mind about people in the past and it taught me to get to know people before I make up my mind about them. Treat others as you want to be treated yourself.
Good people are good people and I have seen the same as yourself georgie.
Some people simply want an easy job, they would prefer to be a binman than a brain surgeon. And that is absolutely fine. We need both in the world.
It isn't money or opportunity that is the problem, it is simply attitude.
Some people are snobs, some people are inverted snobs.
The only people who drive me mad is those who refuse to get any job, as they would prefer to live off the state.
Social welfare is supposed to be a safety net for those in need, not a lifestyle choice.
i give thanks for my struggles because i learn never to take nothing for granted i appreciate what (God)life has given me it has tought me to see things differently.
unfortunate for here there is no state to live off and that is good because i see a lot of jamaicans not wanting to work.
and yes some say struggle and u will reach the top . i agree and disagree reason be is u will struggle but never reach the top some dont have what it takes to struggle .
but what i dislike is when a person starts the struggle and is taking advantage of .
i quote "the race is for the swift but only who can endure it"
there are plenty of times a person tries to climb falls on his or her face and instead of helping that person to stand they just run over him or her and continues ..
am not saying u are to give whet u have worked for to them but a kind word of encouragements , show them where they can put a foot for a better hold if possible
the other day i saw a girl i often give things to and i reasoned with her try to show her a way how she can help herself coz not everytime i will be able to give coz not only her is in need i give to anyone i can give to and i may not have it some days .
"Give a woman a fish and you've fed her for a day; teach a woman to fish and you'll fail"
How else could we feed your ego as the big brave hunter, and still get a free dinner
and tenner behind a good man is a woman
well if u are teaching her wrong and same goes the man
once a man ask me for money and i told him to go get a job the man was pretty young and it has been his profession to beg in the streets the man's reply was " if everyone works who beg.
and even today the man is still begging
