“A wise person invests their money in things that make their heart happy.” ~Anon
The worse feeling in the world is thinking the only reason you’re appreciated is because of the financial assistance you can give somebody else.
Let’s put that into context. You are a bank and you can be replaced by another bank.
Money will change your world but you should know yourself well enough before you start spending your money so that it doesn’t change you.
The question now is, I have one million in my bank account. What will I spend it on?
I’ll leave you with a quote that should be repeated to every teenager until they hear what you’re saying. However, you may need patience because teenagers tend not to listen..
“What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.” ~Julia Cameron
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” ~Stephen Covey.
The majority of people are preparing what they’re going to say, or, they’re listening for something they can disagree with.
A person’s name is the most important word in their life, if you want to get somebody’s attention, use it regularly.
Some people will listen to what you’re saying and then they’ll tell you how they did the same thing, only bigger and better.
The people who like you will agree with everything they didn’t hear. The people who dislike you will disagree with everything you say, whether they heard you or not.
Expecting people to understand what you’re saying is one of life’s greatest source of stress.
People don’t disagree with what you say, they really don’t hear what you’re saying.
“Rules are made to be broken.” The idea that Government restrictions are going to do anything about getting rid of the corona virus is ludicrous.
If you happened to hear about the story of 80 members of the Irish Oireachtas golfing society breaking the guidelines on Covid-19, the guidelines they helped draw up as members of the Irish Government, you’ll understand my skepticism.
Of course, the Irish are not on their own, there have been multiple examples of Government ministers from a number of countries breaking their own rules, or acting as if those rules don’t apply to them. If you want to read more stories, just Google. “Ministers breaking lockdown rules.”
The general public, rules & Covid-19.
Of course, if the general public had the ability to follow rules there wouldn’t be a need for jails, or courts for that matter. The question of whether you needed to defund the police force in America, or not? Wouldn’t be a question that needed to be asked. However, I don’t see those going anywhere in the near future. Especially if there are any more innocent shootings of Black people in America. Those events seem to spark an outbreak of looting and violence. The perfect way to protest how unhappy they are with society as it stands today.
Regarding Covid-19, the general public’s ability to follow strict social distancing rules is out there for everybody to see. The statistics don’t lie. The statistics are rising; however, you could point out, more people are being tested now and that’s the reason why the figures are rising. That is true, but you have to also realise the general public has to have the corona virus to be providing positive tests for the virus.
I’m fairly certain the virus will run its course, the restrictions the Governing bodies are putting in place will slow down the virus’ effect on the majority of the rule following public but that’s all it’s going to do because there are enough people breaking those rules to keep the virus spreading around the globe.
Covid-19 vaccine. If a vaccine is identified? It will take too long to produce enough of the vaccine to vaccinate all the people who need it, and by then the virus will most likely have mutated into a different form which will need a different vaccine. That’s not to mention the same number of people who’s breaking the rules on social distancing now will be matched by the number of conspiracy theorists who will refuse to take the vaccine.
Are people capable of following strict rules? A question asked and answered. Not enough people are, and that’s not going to surprise anyone either.
However, I’ll leave you with a question I would really like answered.
How many people have the corona virus antibody who never knew they had the virus? The answer could have us closer to herd immunity than anybody knows.
