One of children's foolishness

I remembered when I was in grade school, my classmates used to fool around the telephone booth just to make extra money. They will roam around the booth and then when nobody was using it, they would bang on the machine which would make coins released out of it. Well, I just laughed at this before, but I didn't dare to do it just because it wasn't my money, and it's not my attitude to steal other's posession. And now, I am now a college graduate, I am looking forward to earn money in a decent way, the way that I can say that I earned them from my hard word and perseverance

Children always do foolish things. But I can see that you were a good child, in fact, I will do the same as you , I won't get money which doesn't belong to me, yeah, it's stealing. Maybe some of your classmates didn't realize that. When I was little,like 6 years old, I washed clothes for my parents and they gave me money, but there was a secret about that, I even didn't know whether my parents knew that or not. That was, I just put the clothes into the water, make the dirty clothes wet and then get them out, I didn't wash them at all, I just wetted them.I even didn't put the washing powder into the water. But still I got money and praise from my parents. Now I guess they just wanted to encougrage me to learn to work.

Ohh friend, so that was your secret. yes children don't realize somethings up to some age. But in your case i guess your parents would have definitely know about that, but they still encouraged you.

yeah, they didn't realized that it is wrong coz they were young kids and they didn't understand yet what they are doing. I also commit mistakes before, when I was a lil kid but stealing wasn't one of them and until now, I don't dare to steal other people's possession. i just wanna make things legally which will result in legal matter.

Hi ruffabee, nice to meet you again! Earning money in legetimate way is an importe principle we should follow anytime and anywhere. There are many people who chear when having test, but I never do that, as 'iamagoodguy'! I think that if you keep your intergrity, you will get respected wherever in Philipines, China or any other countries, right? Work hard, but meanwhile you should also work in a flexible way. Making money is really not difficult to many people as they are flexible enough! Work hard, be flexible, keep intergrity, then you can make it, we can all make it!

you know, making money in legitimate way makes us feel secured and great. if you want to take everything you want, you must manipulate them in legal way without creating some inconvenience with other people. it's hard to feel that you take everything while others are suffering, so we must take anything in legal way.

The money that comes to us in a wrong manner would not stay in our hands for long.One way or the other,it will be out of our hands.It is better that,you hesitated to take that money and have the willingness to earn truthfully.By earning in the right way and with hardwork,one can really know the value of money and will be blessed with more and more success in life.

if we commit grave wrongdoings such as killing, stealing, and the like will bury our conscience coz we commit illegal things and if i did the same, maybe i wouldn't be able to sleep well. believe me. people who always commit crimes are being buried by their conscience which affects their health, such as being sleepless...

Children do such things. They don't realize it to be big problem. But as they grow up they understand its not good to do such things. At least some really change and realize it.

as they grow up, they gradually learn their mistakes and change the way they live. well, I dunno where they are now. It was 13-15 years ago since I met them :)

So much so, getting what is not ours is wrong whatever reason we might have for doing such thing. If you are a fresh graduate, myLot is the right place for you to get additional knowledge on just a bout anything. Name it and you find the answer here. Good luck with your career and I'm sure you will be successful someday!

Thanks Aries. People want to explore things in their own ways including earning money. In my case, I just wanna do everything in legal way, without putting everything in every unnecessary conditions, without any inconveniences which will burden everything. Philosophically speaking, anything done in legal way will result in a legal matter. I've been a blogger since high school, and this is my first time to do it as a stepping stone for earning money legally :)

Hi friend, welcome to mylot. Children's don't know that their activity is wrong and do this kind of unwanted things, after getting maturity they will regret a lot for their activities, good to know that you never involved in such kind of activities. Wish you to get a good job in the near soon to earn good income

yeah, maybe they were in a state of unconsciousness when they were doing such things. yeah, I never involved in that, because I want to do everything in a legal way without any unnecessary inconveniences. thank you for wishes... good day :)
