Anonymous asked: Just saying, it is kind of ridiculous that you talked about people getting off their lazy asses to find a job. It sounds silly coming from someone that's just started their first job?Not everyone's city has even a DECENT rate of employment. I work thirty or more hours a week, take sixteen credits and try to take care of my little sister cuz my parents work too much. I think your post struck a cord since a lot of people are stuck without jobs, especially in the state I live in.

This is the first time I’ve been legitimately employed. I’ve been self-employed and ran some businesses for about a year and a half now, and still going. That’s how I’ve made my income. But my mentors always told me, “always have multiple streams of income.” If you knew what I did, you’d understand. But if you’re open minded by any chance, you should read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Very great book! Sorry for the misconception lol. And that’s true. But I don’t know if you knew this, but Nevada (state where I’m located) is always ranks top 5 states with highest unemployment rates. I know, it’s unfortunate for people who are stuck without jobs. But remember, that can change. The power to have a job is really in the persons hands. Because everything in life is a numbers game. In this example, if someone talks to enough employers, I 100% guarantee that they’ll land a job. But there are people out there that would apply 5, 10, 20 times, get interviews, get rejected, and quit. But if people stuck it out much longer and did whatever it took to get a job, they can do it. But lack of consistency, persistence, drive, and work ethic will not help at all. And I hope you can agree with me that there are many people out there who do lack those characteristics, therefore not being able to find some sort of employment. S.I.N.A.L.O.A (Safety In Numbers and Law of Averages). But I admire your work ethic anon! Keep at it!

Anonymous asked: So you give advice about working hard for your goals and such, but you never had a job? And now you're telling everyone that they shouldn't be lazy and find a job? And you're in college and JUST got a first job? Interesting. I think I'd rather take these 'motivational insights' from someone that has some more credibility.

You need a job to start setting and achieving goals? And was I really telling EVERYONE that they shouldn’t be lazy and find a job? Maybe you should re-read my post. I just targeted those people who just make excuses all day saying that they can’t find a job anywhere, when the reality is that they’re not willing to get off their butts and go through enough rejection to find a job. Haha, college and first job? So? What does that have to deal with anything? Is ‘credibility’ based on jobs and college status nowadays? Honestly, you don’t even know me enough to judge. College and jobs doesn’t determine credibility. But you probably didn’t know that because you’re accustomed to that age old advice. But I don’t blame you because I was in your place too back in the day when I didn’t know anything but “go to school, get good grades, and get a ‘good paying job’.” Trust me, there’s so much more that life can offer than just going to school, getting a job, and living paycheck to paycheck.. If you knew what I knew, and knew what I was going to do with the income I’m making at my job, you would understand. But that isn’t the case. And aren’t my ‘motivational insights’ common sense anyways? Whether or not I do have ‘credibility?’ Shoot, my little brother could type those things up. And I promise you that there are people out there that would be mind blown and still be inspired from it. Lol.

Um, yes. We actually snagged a picture.

So… this is awkward.
