Real Life, Minus All The Cliches

Tweet

You know all those sayings: "Life is what you make it." "If you believe you can achieve." "Your dreams can come true." etc. Well, I don't want to knock any motivational speaking but it seems to me that this world is created of the "haves" and the "have nots". There are people that have struggled their whole lives and given their all. Sacrificed and went on despite extreme hardships. You know what happened to them? They died broke and penniless without fulfilling any of their dreams. How sad is that? The truth is, the majority of people will always be broke or at the very best, middle class. You know why? Because the rich want to stay rich, and the rich stay rich by stepping on the backs of the common man. So the rich has in place plenty of choke holds that the not so rich cannot get through. But it's a new age. The information age. We now live in an age where the average Joe, with a little learning and know how can build for himself a fortune. You see it all over the internet. People are making fortunes coming up with the simplest of ideas. People are making fortunes doing things like advertising. People are sticking middle fingers up to the powers that be (record companies, production companies, publishers) and doing their own things, and making their own money. There are new business models in place and this is truly, truly the age for people to strive with everything they got to crash through that choke hold, move into one of those rich guy's neighborhoods and smile at them every time you see them just to make them uncomfortable. Just to let them know that this IS a new age and they'd better get used to it or lose everything. Ra
