Let me start off by saying Happy Labor Day to everyone here in the United States. Today really means a lot to hard working citizens every where. I should know I'm one of them, and after working as hard as I did this past weekend I appreciate this holiday all the more. So now I'm giving my body the rest and rejuvenation that it needs. It is a privilege to be on here today and have the opportunity to be able to voice my opinions an concerns without jurisdiction. Not everyone has the chance nor the time to be able to do so, due to the economy. I am proud and very much appreciate the fact that I own my very own computer that I can work on right now. There are many others that unfortunately do not have the same luxury to do so with in there means.
Too many of us are having to go out and work two or three jobs to make ends meet. For example, who can really survive off of minimum wage while raising a growing family. Well unfortunately, that is the growing trend these days and we better get our children ready for the harsh reality of what life will be like if they do not focus on a career or a trade. At least if you harness a skill, for say drawing go to the school of art or a fashion school and then you will be OK. Make sure they follow what they love so they won't be stuck in a job that they hate later on. I plan on teaching my son to always have a plan B in life so that he will always have something to fall on just in case plan A doesn't work out. So everyone what is your plan B? This is a serious question that one should ask of themselves. For instance, setting up a will and a having life insurance which I know many of us put off since in our minds, " Ah I have plenty of time to do that so I'll do it later". Well unfortunately sometimes that time gets shortened due to unforeseen circumstances, so it always gets put off. Lets all starting today by thinking about the future and not only think about just today
Today is a day that everyone should think long and hard whether they are financially free or are dirt poor. about what this day really stands for. Too many people go unappreciated for the great jobs that they do and so they feel as though they are left behind in society. Lets think for a minute about people that have to do jobs that we may not want to do. Somebody has to do them, because if they didn't get done this country would have a hard time functioning as a whole. If you can afford it give that waitress or pizza man a little more today if you can. Donate something to a charity, because this will be greatly appreciated by these individuals. The main point of today is to remember what people have sacrificed in the past while also thanking those who today work hard for a living. Once again Happy Labor Day to all you hard working moms, dads, and children out there.
