its 1am on a saturday night and im still trying to recover from being sick. im at a point where i just said this sucks and started drinking. lol i know half of yu are agreeing with me that that is the best way to cure feeling sick and down, the other half is sayin im stupid. what can i say, sometimes alcohol just makes things carefree. in any case, i just want to say that i appreciate all the good feedback from my friends. thank yu. my cousin said "now yu gotta come back with something else to match that" (or something like that, i forgot the exact words lol but along those lines) and it has been a couple days since this post and i told myself if i started this, i would post often. that clearly wasnt the case. so now after a long week of work and being sick, i guess this would be a better time then never. when i was at work today, (reminder: i am a jewellery sales person) i started to realize my mind state of a sales person relates to life in general. life isnt easy and alot of the things in life that we want, aren't easy to obtain. for example, maybe a nice car, a person we like, a well paying job we would like, etc. no one ever said growing up was going to be easy. but as one grows older, they tend to realize that almost everything yu want out of life, must be earned. nothing ever just easily falls on your lap with a bow and ribbon tied on top (unless i guess if your born rich. but i wasnt). when im at work, i make the most comission from selling warranties. i started to notice what seperated me from other co-workers. they felt that its a lost cause asking someone to buy warranties because people mostly say no. its true, most of the time yu don't need a warranty and most people will always say no. however as a salesperson, yu are required to make that effort to sell it (plus its money in your pocket). so once a customer says no, the salesperson concludes the final sale. now what if i were to push in this scenario. i say i understand... however, yu should understand that ... etc etc... (yu dont want to hear the whole speech) but the point is i pushed for it and alot of times people will change their answer to yes. obviously yu cannot be aggressive with customers but yu still must somehow put in the extra effort to sell it. take for example a guy goes into a nightclub. he sees so many beautiful women he would like to meet, yet he is shy. he assumes every girl will say no and he will look like a fool. he hangs out the whole night and ends up leaving with no numbers or even a introduction. now another guy who is more or less the same, comes into the nightclub. hits on 10 women through out the whole night. he has confidence and he cares less for rejections because certain girls will say no, no matter what. but he goes for it anyways. i dont think i need to explain much further into the story. say even if he got rejected by most of those girls. he was bound to get at least one. and that makes 1 vs. none with the first guy. just like in life, if yu want a nice car.. yu gotta push for it. make more money and save more without spending so much on unneccessary purchases. if yu want that person yu like. call them. try to stay in touch with that person as much as possible or do something that would put a smile on their face. show them yu care enough to put in that effort. yu'll never know unless yu try. things wont just come falling in your lap wrapped in a bow and ribbons. lol if its that job yu like, speak to a manager. callback for a follow up. and when yu have them in the interview, do whatever it takes to close the sale. yu are the only one who can grab a hold of your life and change the outcome. now don't get me wrong.. some of us believe in fate.. and things happen for a reason. and its true.. but wouldn't yu still like to have at least a bit of control of your life? it is YOUR life in the end isn't it? (push = hustle, grind. whatever yu wanna call it) if success and happiness was easy, then everyone around us would have it. but we dont. so we gotta push for it. dont take no for an answer (obviously dont become an asshole stalker or crazy when referring to getting that person yu like. thats just wrong. use your DISCRETION. lol yu get the point) failure should never be an option. just push.

Chapter One


i guess this is where it all kind of starts.. this is the post that will open the door to either a bunch of boring rants and routines or the milestone to pursuit of self knowledge and creating an interesting enough blog to keep people entertained.. but honestly i still dont think i am that interesting at all compared to other people i know. truthfully i had a very hard time picking out a clever name for my blog but every one i thought of was not available. (which i thought really sucked but what are yu gonna do) anyways, as yu can see i am very new at this and i already sidetracked huge from the real reason why yu even continued to read this far. a brief introduction of myself is needed i think. but.. maybe that boring stuff can wait till later.. maybe i should write something that would give yu a very good first impression. maybe some good food for thought. i always did really want to be able to tell someone about my theories, advice and experiences on life but i never really want to bore someone with my life stories or whatever cause they probably wouldn't care. lets start with the quote i have selected for this blog. "you'll never know unless you try".. growing up for me was fairly tough.. im sure some of yu are aware from reading off my brother's blog. and if you didnt lets just say every family has their problems. when i officially pursued becoming independant and living on my own, (the reason we will get into another day) i learned that while i was beginning to go down this path which my family did not approve of me doing. i have gone through alot of mistakes and experiences that have changed my life forever. i can say today that maybe it was never the best idea for me to move out on my own because i am still very young but .. you'll never know unless you try.. i have already made my decision.. there is no point for me to regret or become upset and doubt myself now.. i've already made it this far and i've become quite successful in my courses of actions.. i obtained a 40k job at the age of 19.. which unfortunately i was laid off last year. but now i currently am working at a jewellery store in sales which pays about the same. i have my own car and my own apt. i may not be successful as i set out to be.. but that will come in time.. people i notice tend to beat themselves up over decisions or mistakes they've made and allow it to emotionally bring them down and lose their confidence and begin doubting themselves for future opportunities.. we are human and we make mistakes.. in most cases.. people learn much more knowledge from failing then succeeding. for example "some people just have to learn the hard way". in any case scenario you should always be striving to win it with confidence and determination (not saying that skill, technique,practice, and knowledge dont play their part). but you will never truly know you can accomplish something unless you give it 112% percent every time. now i know reallistically no one can really go 112% every single time.. but hey.. you'll never know unless you try right? if you want to succeed in anything.. you have to give it your all and if you fall down.. just dust yourself off and try again. its simple.. how can you expect to win something if all you think about is losing or what would happen if you lose. now i'm not saying to pursue every opportunity without a little bit of caution, but to use your discretion. every scenario requires a different solution in life. life is unpredictable but thats what makes life great.. you cannot expect to succeed at everything and yu cannot expect to become perfect and sunshines and rainbows everyday. but thats where the beauty lies.. because of the balance of good and bad. if you dont have bad days.. you would never appreciate the good days.. life would be boring.. now im not sayin i agree and hope i have a bad day.. i want to strive for a good day everyday.. because i've been through enough bad days to appreciate the good ones.. and no matter what.. things will happen.. bad things are inevitable..but how you learn from it and do whatever it takes to avoid it.. you will see better days as you choose. life is so beautiful.. you only get one shot at it.. there is so much wonders in the world for you to explore and learn. why settle for less. they say knowledge is power for a reason. because the more you know.. the more yu can achieve and have the capabilities and knowledge to achieve it. you only get to live once.. so why not experience as much as possible and do whatever it is your heart desires. if you try hard enough.. and continue to keep trying even if you hit a few small bumps in the road or plans dont work out to plan.. i promise you.. that what you want most out of life.. will be yours (if another person can do it, why cant you?).. because you are the key to your own future. you are the only person standing in your way of success and happiness.

i written quite a bit and if your still reading.. *mike tips his hat (stole that from will lol) the conclusion of this post is basically saying that no matter what it is your doing or wanting in life.. you'll never know unless you try.
