I could be your Dad. But a young Dad. Someone knows the knocks of life who can give valuable advice.
Age in general means very little. But let's talk about it
You could be 20 to 25 years old and "more mature" for your age than your friends
You could be 35 to 40 years old and be "immature" for your age.
How old is 
I won't tell you the exact age I am, but I will tell you some important facts:
I've been scammed many times until I learned how to see scams before they happen
I've always thought I was smarter than my parents, and in many ways I am. ..but only to realize they did what they did, because those were the only decision making options they had at the time.
Life is tough. It can seem easy, and it can seem there are endless doors open and endless possibilities.
Sometimes you have to realize that life deals you a bad hand (just like poker) and you just have to make the best of what you have...
..and people make the best of what they have, every single day..
We have staples in life:
- Food
- Shelter
- Security
- Happiness
...as long as you have those things intact, you are free to explore your future by trying your game at life.
....and that's what I did... before many of you... I locked down the basic necessities of life... and then explored my potential. Until I learned some long hard lessons...
- Life isn't fair
- What is right, isn't always accepted
- What is wrong, is sometimes accepted
...WHOA! Those are basic fundamentals in life that can screw with your daily routine!!
We watch TV or movies, and the good guy always wins.
We are taught in school, work hard, and the rewards will come.
...and when neither of those things come true.... We realize, we're swimming in the life pool of shark infested waters.
So what do you do?
You adapt. However, when you adapt, you shouldn't lose your morals while you adapt.
Can you explain that in simple terms??
YES
You get one single chance to have life here on earth. You can be like everybody else, stuffing money into your pocket, or what you can do, is strive to be the 1% who is different. BE SPECIAL.
You don't thrive on money. You thrive on being a decent human being without hurting others..
When you lay your head down on your pillow at night, just before you go to sleep, are you happy with the type of person you are, and what you did in the last 24 hours?
Most evil people of huge corporations that bankrupt people and put them on the street don't ask themselves these questions. It's all part of the life game they play. "Better them than me, sleeping in the cold is for stupid people who don't know how to make money" they may say.
I am the type of person that if I go through my entire life not being rich, just truthful, and non-harming to someone else, that will be the best thing I could do not only for myself, but others too.
So let's address the title of this post again:
I could be your Dad. But a young Dad. Someone knows the knocks of life who can give valuable advice.
Knowing what I've just told you about me. The fact I'm older, been scammed, lived life the hard way, and have this never-ending need to pay it forward and tell you the truth about things...
I'm someone you just met on the internet, but will happily answer your questions and make it a mission of mine to keep being open and honest with you about life. That, to me, is a very valuable gift I can give all of you.
...the question now becomes... are you willing to accept and receive it?
