Anyone who thinks they are owed a living should think again, as that thinking got me nowhere.
I was 24 years old and still thought the world owed me a living. What a twat I was to think that.
I suppose there are exceptions, like saving millions of lives, but that is an exception.
Life doesn’t seem fair, and it’s not, so you will be correct in those assumptions most of the time. But you can’t get through life on assumptions.
So, what can you do to put this right? Find out what’s wrong.
As soon as I realised my thinking was wrong, then everything changed for me.
Once I understood nobody was going to take pity on me, except my mum, realising I had to stand on my own two feet, I might as well go beyond my expectations of myself and help others, which in turn got me more than I could have ever imagined.
Today, you haven’t got to go very far to see what’s wrong with the system: people who think they are owed a living provide lousy service, unreliability, internet-only, no face-to-face or no contact to get basic things sorted out like banking, local Authority, gas, electric, water, phones etc. etc.
Crap service starts from the very top, from the ones we all vote for making obscene amounts of money for themselves, telling lies and laughing all the way to their banks, disregarding the customers who pay for their service.
If we employed a night watchman who slept all night, we would sack them.
But as they say, with every cloud! the worse everything gets, the easier it is for anyone to stand out from the normal, and tell me, who wants to be normal?
The way to achieve this is through daily self-education and our services to others, with excellent quality and reliability that will get people beating a path to your door.
Anyone who doesn’t adhere to this in some way will get left behind in this ever-rapidly changing world.
