NT: Staying Positive Thread Vol. Good Vibes

[sixzerofour]

I came to Shanghai in promise of an internship...

Got here and the job didn't come through, but already planned my stay for 3 months. Was trippin for a good 2 weeks.

FINALLY found a new and better internship yesterday at a Marketing agency. Feels like I'm getting somewhere for my career in the future.

Maybe my expectations for myself are too high for myself. Maybe I should lower them and I'll find happiness. My dad says "One day at a time" because you can't control everything but ever since graduating from college I feel like a failure. I told my mom that and she told me don't ever say that but I am. Nothing is going well for me from finances to women. If I could go back in time, I'd seriously rewrite my life from the age of 14. I have to live with the decisions I've made even if they are irreparable.

Sorry for the long diatribe but this is the only way I can vent at the moment. I don't blog anymore and I think I need to start doing it again.

I think you should read Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Here's part of the beginning I think youll like.
"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope."

I personally live by the words "envy is ignorance". 

Ill admire something about every single person I meet, but I will never, ever envy someone.

As for myself, my old boss sucked. He was hurting the team, and today was his last day. New boss came in and he's gonna make sure there's always money in our pockets.

Change the game

Things finally looking up

Hey, man.. right there with you. I'm 23 and Asian (this is a stereotype but yeah, most of my friends from high school have degrees from good schools). I'm the +$!# up friend who dropped out a four quarters before graduating. At least you finished school

.

You have to let the past be the past and try to grow as a person every day. I've also made horrible choices, but few things are irreparable, in my opinion. Try to be your best self all the time and always try hard to improve yourself. Small victories.

this thread is like a ray of light on NT.

Chucks with that lil B vid

Agent Arenas with the Emerson quote

CanIFly using his blessings to bless his fam

Furrell remember this...even people on the top feel the way your feeling. When you turn life into a competition your always gonna be competing/envying. It's human nature to crave something more than what you already have...what you need to learn is that divine nature let's you be happy with what you have yet still opens you up to receive any other opportunities that come you way. A positive attitude even in the bleakest circumstances makes the difference in how long your down time lasts.

Bless

if two wrongs dont make a right but three rights makes a left , does staying negative about being negative equate to positive thinking?

Ill admire something about every single person I meet, but I will never, ever envy someone.

with all due respect to Emerson (only because of his literary status: realtalk) lol
but this n***a decided to make an attempt to sound extremely knowledge of the english language by unnecessarily incorporating a vast amount of confusing/possibly meaningless/un-practical sentences to form a divine message from first impression

HOWEVER- this fool BASICALLY says...dont envy others because your uniqueness just hasnt been found by u.
