The Future
Hello, WORLD!! It was said once that no one knows what the future holds. Yeah, aight. Nobody knows what the future holds for those who dont see what direction the present is pointing! I'm looking forward in the direction my present is guiding me to look. If you been reading my Blog, then you know about my view toward a few coworkers I had. Had. As of this writing, three of the laziest people I ever worked with are no longer with the company I've come to think of as my 5th family (Yeah, I got that many!). In the end, what was there downfall? Lack. Of. Wanting to work. LOW, if you will, and lo & behold what it got them. Unemployment for at least 2 years. Thats the future they were headed when I first met them & thats exactly where they are now. Mind you, I didnt dislike any of them; 1 of them,Grant, was almost like an older brother to me & he even writes sports post on my SMOKKEE'S WORLD OF SPORTS blog for extra money. Since I gave him that option, he's made my blog $3.00 off of 2 posts about something that he usually writes about for free. SMH. I tried to warn him that the end was nigh; jump aboard with me in this endeavor and let's write our own future. "Sure", he said, apparently half heartedly based on his output. I see some people are content let the future take whatever shape it would on its on. I on the other hand, would like nothing better to tell you I'm gonna be a success in a certain field but I have no way of knowing that field right now. What I do know is if I plant enough seeds in all kinda fields, I'm bound to get some kinda growth from a few of them seeds that were planted. Know that! Know this too: as hard as it is to get a job (this too is arguable, my girl Tara keeps multiple jobs and keeps getting better ones when she feels like it; also, the Chicago Red Eye ran a story a few months back about people who flip jobs like pancakes.), if you got one and you're not a hustler, AT LEAST show some hustle skills to keep your job. In this down economy, why would you want to wait on a government check to pay your bills when 9 outta 9, it isnt even half of what you are worth a week, much less a month? #JustSaying. That's it for now WORLD but its never enough so I keep at it! #Truth
