Journeys of Steel

A 1953 Oldsmobile sits in a showroom in Dallas, Texas. Its flashy chrome fixtures and shiny blue paint sparkle radiantly in the bright sunlight bursting through the glass windows of the dealership as it patiently awaits to be purchased. The salesman at the desk rushes to greet several people that come in to inspect and inquire about the car. All are fascinated by its style and elegance, but none are seri­ously interested in buying.

Another update came out for job losses in December, 85,000. Every time I read one of these headlines or articles I just sit back and ask myself how are these individuals going to survive and care for themselves and their families. It makes you wonder if these individuals are reacting to the job loss with "why me?"" where do I go?" and "what do I do now?" I also ask myself what if anything did these people do to help prepare for this day?
Did they...

Home business is definitely one of the top choices of the majority who does not want to work and hates having someone give them orders all the time.  It is the ultimate getaway for those who just want to be free and spend more time for themselves and for the ones close to them.

Learning doesn't work for me anymore. There is nothing to learn. If I have to learn something then what does that say about me. It says I am not enough, I am not complete, I am not whole. I am adding something to myself that's not me. Throw away the books, sack the teachers and get on with it. I am not here to suffer I am here to live.
