Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! 

Thank God Mom is still alive with us here on this Earth.  . . . There's a lot to say here, but you know I had the full blown Mom experience.  I couldn't see anyone who'd want something like I experienced unless they didn't have a Mother of their own or were adopted.  Unfortunately, a lot of adopted children have this void in their heart that something is missing.  "Why don't my parents want me?  It's an unspoken demon that maybe bottled up inside of them and may even consume them if they don't seek out a resolution, allow things to subside, and heal.  I never experienced this, because I've been living in my Mom's house.  No, it's not a dream come true for me either, but at least I know.

. . . Yup, that's Mom for you.  Mmm . . . Yeah . . .

Well, Happy Mother's Day!

The Importance of Being Poor

I need to study.  There is no easy way for me to pass exams except to put the time and effort into.  Unfortunately, money cannot really help you with passing exams.  Yes, money can buy books, review material, and whatever you; but you need the time to study and review.  Much like wealth, there's no such thing as getting good grades over night.  I exhaust a lot of time playing computer games, watching youtube videos, snacking, and just running off to go exercise somewhere other than putting the time to study.  The trick is to get myself to sit down and just read whatever I can get my hands on.  Reading definitely takes a lot of effort out of you.  Procrastination and laziness are the biggest enemies.  I wish my human being wasn't so fundamentally lazy, but everything in this world takes work.  What doesn't take effort?  As long as I remain poor, I possess great humility, granting me the perspective of someone who wants to learn.

Will I be the same tomorrow?  Will I just ever pick up a book and read it?  It always felt like I had to force myself to read.  Reading doesn't come easy to me, but once I start I can continue for a prolong period of time.  Yup, there's not much else to me than being a lazy sack.  I wish reading required zero effort like I can just download information from the vastness of space and time.  Some people call this intuition or simply trusting your gut feeling.  This is where inspirational ideas come from.  At the end of the day and look back, studying is the most effective thing I can do for myself that may have a lasting impact on my life.  Studying is such a great tool, but like any other activity it requires a lot of time and effort for it to have any use in the long run.  Well, I have a full schedule coming up.  Yup, it's going to be the Monday morning grind tomorrow.  It's quickly approaching 9PM, and I need my beauty rest. 

Thank you for stopping by.
