Lets Work on the World

Being generous might play in your favor!

The world we live in today faces a major problem, a problem that most people don’t realize is a problem at all, greed. Why and how is greed affecting the world today, and why or how would greed help better the world? What most people I’m surrounded by don’t seem to realize is how blessed we are, and I don’t blame them for not realizing. When your mainly surrounded with people who’s main struggles are grades and not food or something needed for survival its hard to see or realize what the rest of the world here.

(Please watch this video its life changing and one of the most inspirational video I have ever seen) 

Believe it or not youtube made me understand some of the struggles the rest of the world faces. You simply never know how far being not greedy will take you. You may spend 5 dollars and say something like “who cares its only five dollars” and chuckle after that, what most people don’t realize (I didn’t realize this myself for a long time either), is that there are too many people in the world that 5 dollars would go so far for them and mean so much to them its insane. For example in the video you see that this young kid is stealing a bottle of store brand medicine for his sick mother, the fact that this child can’t afford food or medicine blew my mind. But what was truly amazing was that this kid gave his favor back and practically saved a family from financial destruction. 


You never know what giving back will result in, most times giving back to people won’t lead to anything and once you give you won’t get back, but there will be that one situation that giving even a dollar will somehow pay itself back down the line. The world works like a tether ball what goes around comes around don’t forget that.

My extra credit random post

My random post today is going to be about the new cameras that you've seen officers wear on their chests. Earlier this month I approached an officer and asked them the purpose of such cameras, and he told me that they wear them for not only their safety (a deterrent measure) but also to help identifying criminals. Earlier today though I stumbled upon this article involving these cameras. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/11/lawyer-says-body-cam-video-shows-lapd-officer-planting-drugs.html I am disgusted with LAPD after watching this video. I never would have believed that there are actually officers planting drugs on innocent civilians. What I really cant believe is that these officers tried to pull this stunt when each of them have a camera attached to their vests. As I was watching the video my blood began to boil as you see the cop pull a bag of narcotics from one of his pockets and throws it on the floor for another cop to pick it up and put it in this civilians wallet. I b...

Born on Third Base Pt. 1

At this point in reading the book I have very mixed reviews, but the message that Chuck is trying to relay and teach his readers is one that i've never encountered before in a book. What really caught my eye as I was uncovering what the book was about is Chuck's choice of title. I love how the book is titled Born on Third Base because it means so much. In the authors case he means this by his financial position he was put in thanks to his parents. Chuck says that he was born into a family of wealth and a family that holds their position within the "1 percent" firmly.  Why I have mixed reviews of the book is because of the insane stunt Chuck makes, by donating all his inheritance to charity. Don't get me wrong what he did wasn't bad at all, personally I would never do such a thing because I want to give my family the brightest future possible, but I also think he could've been a lot smarter with his inheritance. If I was in his position with his motives ...

The Less Greedy Foundation

The less greedy foundation You can only do so much with your money, why not give a little to people less unfortunate in hopes that one day someone will repay your favor? What we plan on creating is a platform where people who like to give back to the community are able to meet with the people who they are helping or giving back to face to face instead of giving your money to the hands of someone else who claims they will distribute it to needy families. Personally I don’t trust most people, so why would I give thousands of dollars to a foundation that won’t provide me a single piece of evidence as to where my money went? Thats a major problem most foundations face today. How this foundation operates would be that we link the donors to the donees and allow them to meet at a certain location, with our help, to enable them to see the reactions and the life changing experience the donors provided these families. Another reason why we want these two different groups of people to me...
