Work isn't working, but I will succed
Why do we as humans consistently wait until we start to physically feel guilty and regretful until we begin to act. I am tired of working for someone else, tired of wasting my time and giving my energy to other people. If I spend 20 years working for someone just to get benefits that only apply so long as I have that job, then why don't I spend 20 years working towards a foundation of my life that cannot be taken away. Is life really so hard and long that people would wake up everyday to work for someone else and not for your own self interest only for safety and security? The ironic thing is that only you can bring yourself safety and security, no matter how big or small a company is, the owner is thinking about the safety and security of himself and his company as an extension of himself. Anger does not even come close to the feelings I have bottled up inside towards the indoctrination centers of the USA, towards foolish adults who left the upcoming generation lost on a barren field, but most importantly the stupid idea that life is going to go well if you do good deed, or just live a good life. Does anyone even understand what it means to live a good life? Those words change meanings depending on what religion you believe in, or if you even believe in one. Some of you may be asking what the indoctrination centers of the USA are? The answer is simple in the end these centers are what many people call school. The reason I call them that is because, in all honesty that is exactly what they are, these schools indoctrinate the children to live in a mentality of obedience, instead of a mentality of motivation. If kids were taught how to identify their goals or dreams and actually go after them with realistic plans, high school would not even be necessary kids would be entrepreneurs by the time they are 20. I believe that is exactly why "the system" does not want anyone to learn how to be "successful." I am 20 years old now, and i'm struggling to find success, the reason being is that I didn't know what success was. Only now do I realize that success is not giving up after a failure, and I hate that I know deep in my heart, had I been taught all these principles I know now, I could be in the world of my dreams, literally, it is a great shame that people refer to their own dreams as fantasy. What is fantasy anyways? How can anyone say that something is just a fantasy world, knowing that it was the human mind that created that idea or that vision. At the end of the day, I guess all I wanted to say is that, we as humans were not ever meant to give our lives and energy to a company that doesn't care about us. I do not know what created this corrupt, greedy world we live in, but I do know it is up to all of us as individuals to come together and work for the betterment of not only humanity but, the success if individuals chasing after dreams.

You posed some interesting questions, Jason, with answers that are much too long to be contained in a post. What you said about schools teaching students about being obedient versus motivated is powerful.
I commend the teachers that pour their heart out into students, especially when many of those students don't have the same support once they get home. Sadly, the "decline" of the educational system has many elements, some very visible, other hidden.
You're 20 years old feeling frustrated, I'll be 50 in September. I can assure you that although there's a 30-year gap between us, some my frustrations are similar to yours, Jason. I had to make peace with all that I wasn't taught in school and the motivation I didn't receive at home.
I can't tell you how many times I wondered what would have happened had I even come to this knowledge 20 years ago...even 10 years ago would have been nice! But what use is that...I can continue to look back and keep asking myself, "What if", or look forward and ask, "How can I".
All the best to you, Jason, and never cease learning...
Thank you, and yes I know deep down inside I may not have liked the low quality "education" I received but I cannot let it hold me back I have to move forward.
