Someone smart once told me, "We are the generation of strawberries." Us today, we cant hang like we used to. We are fragile, weak, and lost without that omnipotent guiding hand. Our generation has become handicapped with no means of running or sliding or jogging. We are kept forever in this infant stage until we realize ourselves that we have much more potential than we think. Until that day of realization comes, we are paralyzed by our own minds, thinking we are unable to face the harsh realities of the world. When in fact, we have been equipped since birth with skills and talents that can change the world. Being unaware of the talent within may be one of the saddest occurrences in life.
Time and talent wasted, a life unabsorbed.
Whatever happened to the belief that we could do anything in this world? Or did that notion die within us once we realized that instead of freedom in life we wanted stability, we wanted the world to be safe of all danger, to rid of all risks? Why should the world be fixed, predictable, easiest to analyze and compute data for excellent efficiency?
Live this life thinking you can accomplish anything while breaking any barrier that opposes you. The only time you fail in life is if you fail to try.
A life as a drone of the dollar bill is a meaningless life.
Rise above the ashes of apathy,

The world's cutthroat, man. Too many chumps cruisin' through life, waiting for shit to be handed to them on a silver platter.
Go out there, and get yours.
That's what I'm doing, and I don't expect anything less from you.
Hard work, luck, and arrogance equals success.
Success? But what's success? Dollar amount? Life fulfillment? What do you think can make a man feel fulfilled? Marriage? Kids? Processes so ingrained into our minds by the 'standard' society in which we are fed into the cycle that consumes us, money. Well I'm mostly critiquing the obsession of the dollar by many of us, not noting that capitalism is necessary for our current standard of living. Necessary...
Success is whatever you want it to be, man. That's the beauty of it. But to achieve complete success, you've got to be egotistical enough to think you deserve it-- then, put the work in to earn it, and hopefully, you'll have a little luck along the way to finally get it.
