It is said that the schooling that we endure for at least 12 years of our life, is there to help us prepare for college. Then after that if we're academically, athletically, or financially fortunate enough to get into college. Those four years of college are there to prepare for the real world. I always had a problem with this theory. Because depending where you go to school, your surroundings may be nothing like the "real world." What is the real world???
There are many different interpretations of the real world a.k.a. reality. The bottom line is: Most people's reality in based on their financial income. If you're broke and have no money to eat then your reality is hunger and poverty. If you're barely making ends meets, but still working over 40hrs a weeks then your reality is struggling. If you're wealthy and have no financial worries, then your reality is comfortable.
I believe everyone in this real world is aspiring to achieve the latter of these realities. And if they're not, then that means they've already given up on themselves. I do not believe in being defeated by any system because every system has loopholes that were put there by the very same people who created the system.
The only problem is that some people have been in poverty so long that they've become comfortable with that situation and don't aspire for anything more. This is probably the saddest reality we have in our country. Also, the lack of education keeps it that way. Programs like No Child Left Behind are keeping it that way. Please people... aspire for more. Don't be content with mediocre. The time is now!!!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
Somebody smart said: 'Life is brutal, and you have to life with that' :)
