I’ll check it out today. Some days are just littered with chores (groceries, car maintenance, bills, blah, blah, blah), which leaves hardly any time for other ventures. I know of a couple of people who thought I could never land a job that pays me as much as they do. That wasn’t an insult, but rather small thinking. They only know people at their own pay grade, so how could this be a reality?

I’ve seen the proof and I’m going to reach out and live life on my own terms. They probably don’t think that’s possible, and that’s fine, I don’t mind opening doors

I haven’t done anything today as I just woke up but yesterday I did finish reading a book and also was able to finally get my car unstuck. Please read Wednesday’s post on my blog for more on that.

You’re spot on here, if you want to get ahead and have dreams, desires, goals or anything, just get out there and do something about it. Figure out how. Don’t let negative influence stop you and actually, more importantly let that negative influence inspire you to do it in the first place.

I think a lot of people think they want something but it’s all just what everyone else has and they don’t think they could ever get it anyway.

Again, just do something about it!

There is nothing more heartbreaking (for me) to watch older people have to work jobs that I’d easily “turn my nose up” to. Selling newspapers, working at McDonald’s, etc. It takes a lot of heart to do all of that, and I can commend it. I guess the important thing is to learn from people and to motivate yourself to take yourself to better heights.

I had a call center customer serv job for a web hosting company when I started out a couple of years ago–worst job I hope I’ll ever have. I will never go back to that! Damn, thanks for motivating me on a Monday, haha.

I talked to one of my college buddies about 2 years ago when I started learning html and talked to him about the possibility of working remotely (which is still my main motivator) and he was like “yea, great, but sounds like a lot of work.” He’s currently sitting in a call center, still with no desire to learn anything else… odd to me.

We also have similar people here in Waikiki who hand out promotions for the local clubs and in particular a popular shooting range (I guess they don’t have those in Japan?) It’s sad to see these folks who could be my grandparents working for nearly the same job you described. I suppose at least here they have warm weather.
