I’ll do anything for money, and that’s what brought me here. For a year now I have been working at a minimum job, entry level type deal at a grocery store, and now I have a “promotion†to the produce area two days ago. So this guy comes in, let’s call him Jack, and he’s training for co-manager. Big deal I say, since it’s really not that whole lot of money. Today though, he was like “Why don’t you clean the corn area and stock it upâ€. He just begun working in a grocery store, so what does he know about my job? I was like, “Sure okayâ€, and then he shook my hand and smile, as if he was trying to win me over or something. In all honesty I am jealous, but not of him, but this power of superiority I guess. It comes down to money, since to me wealth is everything.
I am tired of being poor at 18, and I only have 2k saved up in a whole year of working in about 30 hours a week on average at minimum wage. My family thinks that’s great and all, but to me that’s absolutely disgusting, since at the time I was seventeen for most of the time. Plus, I also realize working all those hours destroyed my decent grades, so now I am questioning college since I won’t be able to get into a decent school. It was just expected of me to work at the time, but now that I am working I feel like I am working for pennies. I gave 1.2k to my mother for her to pay bills, $800 to variety of family needs, and about $600 on personal items for me since then. Then I had to pay for this event in my life that cost me dearly, and I will never let that type of mistake happen to me again. My family is barely making it from the poverty level, but what I notice in my mother mistake was not having enough “true†ambition, Sure she worked, but she didn‘t flourish. My mother’s dad, my grandfather couldn’t read, and my grandma just stayed at home. I don’t have a dad.
Still, you know that feeling of being so poor but wanting to be rich, not doctor or lawyer rich, but multimillionaire rich. It’s just that now looking at it, even their salaries won’t keep me happy since I want to be the top of the social pyramid. It’s all I am thinking about, wealth, since I don’t want to be poor pass twenty-five for sure, and ideally pass twenty-two’ish. I am thinking about all the gateways into it, and the only suitable path for me is either I start a business or become a celebrity.
So I say to myself, what do I have to offer to the world? And self said, “You’re not completely ugly, you have a unique personality, people love you eventually, and your voice is average. You have no chance in acting though, since that requires a lot of talent and luck. You might have some chance in the music business though, if you get a voice to semi-professional stage with a catchy beatâ€. So now I am thinking of heading to that direction after I save to about 4 or 5 k, and head to New York City.
But if I go there, I would have to succeed at whatever cost, since there’s no chance of failure. As in, do whatever it takes, and that means whatever. I just have to be a multimillionaire, and that’s what I believe I should do. I don’t want to college, since college education doesn’t give millions but a stable job. Enough of stable jobs for me, since I need wealth and quicker the better.
So until I leave, July 2011, one more year of high school *winter birthday held me back*, I have to learn all I can learn about marketing, success, and whatever I need to know in making my goals come true. Then apply it all into reality, and conquer the mission of becoming a multimillionaire at whatever the cost. I am dying now of this hunger, it’s not exactly hunger for material wealth, fame, or really money. It’s success, a hunger for success in my soul, and all of that is in the package of success. Every night and day I think of leaving this state, and creating a lot of money. There’s not one day I am not thinking about this, and each passing day it becomes bigger.
So my entry job did serve a purpose, it’s fuel into the inferno in my mind. Before that job, I was just hungry and wanting wealth, but now I need that wealth… badly.
So that’s pretty much it, hi everyone!
