This is depressing.

I hear all this bitterness from you guys about "people bend you over", "should have done the hypothetical impossible", and "management can do whatever they want in life".

You know what? I think that's a crock! I don't think that any of those things has do with "empowerment" about life. I think those are jaded realities from overworked people who "took it" too much.

I gotta tell ya-- You can't go anywhere wrong in life by keeping detailed acounts or records of what happend to you at difficult times. That's a good one to pick up from the start. "People who don't take care of themselves make a habbit of regretting it."

Personally, I started my own highly successful business at the age of 24 cause I got tired of listening to the jaded reality of over-worked America. You know how I made it work? I kept good records, held close to a sense of empowerment, dreamt the impossible, didn't get into relationships with people who were looking to bend me over in life, and I never treated others the way I didn't want to be treated.

I guess all I'm trying to say is that I want you to walk away from this experience feeling empowered about your life. Don't be afraid to fight the good fight, and have a wonderful Birthday!
