All the time you see on TV commercials for Lotto, you can
see people who seem happy having their dream vacation in a place that probably I
need a day to point it on the map because it is a destination that I never
dream to reach-that’s way it is called dream vacation. You see them driving a
very expensive car, having parties....and you think what you would do if you've
won the big pot?
The days that we are living everything has a price, you
think about “the girl’s best friend” equal diamond for the one that don’t know-I
just heard it myself into a movie-I thought that a best friend is a human
being, at least a pet. Can anybody explain it to me how a cold rock can replace
somebody who listen to you, give you advices, hold you....? In my culture it is
a saying:” Money cannot bring happiness but they can sustain it”...now I can
see it, you can sell your diamond for money so you can afford to pay your bills
and food for a month...aha. I don’t say you don’t need a house, a home for your
kids, but for the mediocre people that thing does not come with a little bit of
pain like savings.
A lot of kids forget about the people who helped them in the
past and when they grow up they think that everything is for them. I called
them spoiled brats or people without common sense. There are parents out there
who cannot afford the daily bread because they don’t have an income. But
fortunately enough there are people who give, who don’t forget and they are not
doing that because they are afraid that they are not going to Heaven, what is
Heaven anyway? It is there? For me heaven is my conscience, the way I was
raised by my parents and grandma.
You cannot take everything for granted, there are people who
don’t have money but they have more than that – a soul, common sense – and I think
that is a fortune in our days. Fortune
is when you are not alone, having somebody next to you who listen to you: your
parents, husband, brother, friend, teacher. Education is a big fortune too,
sometimes parents seems boring when they tell you to go to school, to learn.
You never know what life is going to bring to your doorstep, if you learn how
to manage yourself, learn a foreign language, learn the basic things like math,
to read and write, how to write a letter, how to have a conversation with somebody,
all of this will be handy when you’ll have to face your everyday life. What I
try to say is to try to enrich yourself, your soul by appreciating the people
around you, by having hobbies that fulfil your mind and heart with happiness.
Who you will become
as a person is your fortune in life, not the titles will make you who you are.
Titles can be gained, but don’t forget that behind all that it is the
personality who gained them. It is the everyday life “human” in the first
place. You can leave a finger print by just being you. Every people are rich if
they can appreciate what they have: the parents, the family and what they
learn.
