Amongst the modern day top entrepreneurs, only one has been described as “the real Tony Stark“. He owns no suit neither is he a part of The Avengers.

He is simply a man with a vision and an uncommon determination to achieving that vision. His name: Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is one outstanding entrepreneur that has revolutionized the business world. A man of uncommon dreams and drives, he has challenged and changed the paradigm over and over again that he has been classified amongst the league of Alan Turning, Henry Ford and the legendary Wright Brothers.
This article seeks to explore the entrepreneurship streak of Elon Musk and the lesson we can glean.

The visionary called Elon Musk
The first thing we immediately notice about Elon Musk is that he is a man of vision. If we are to have a roll call of the modern visionaries, the list will be incomplete without Elon Musk. It is upon the strength of his visions that he has revolutionized the engineering world. Today, he is an icon of the businessman who is out to change things. He is responsible for so many inventions that many cannot even dream of possibly happening.





Likewise, you must also be an entrepreneur with a vision. Vision is not restricted to age, gender or race; it is a function of the mind. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can surely achieve. Do not just exist as an entrepreneur, be an entrepreneur that is out to change the world in your own way. Be prepared to break new grounds, to chart a new course for the existence of your business and your environment at large.

The man of many inventions
What do the following companies have in common: PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity? They all own their existence to Elon Musk. Elon Musk has successfully proven that an entrepreneur can be multi-directional. Of course, he didn’t just achieve all of this at once. He moved on from one stage to another. However, in all of Musk’s inventions, you will always find the drive to make things happen in every sector.


He started x.com – now known as paypal.com – as a way to conduct electronic commerce as we know it. Most online transactions are carried out with PayPal and more countries are signing on. He was not just concerned with commence, he also had a vision to launch a rocket into orbit. This had never been done by a privately funded company; Musk was not one to balk at a challenge. instead, he founded SpaceX. Today SpaceX has almost $3 billion in investments from NASA, Google and Fidelity. He also delved into the automobile industry. In an age where most automobiles are heavily depended on fossil fuels, he found Tesla. An automobile company that revolutionized the electric vehicle and changed the public thinking about the performance of electric cars.
He didn’t stop there he kept on coming up with new ideas that Elon Musk has become a personal brand of innovation and evolution. He is the entrepreneur that is always interested in what is being done and how the society will be affected.



As an entrepreneur, you need to realize that your potential for growth is limitless. If there seems to be any limit at all, it is only a function of your mind. You need to constantly stay ahead of the time. You cannot afford to just follow the tide; you need to chart a course for yourself and your business. Your business depends greatly on how much you can conceive and create. No matter the industry you find yourself in, always try to be outstanding and create a niche for yourself.

Small voices can sing major keys
One myth starting entrepreneurs usually indulge themselves in is that you have to start at a high level to be highly successful. As we have seen from the story of Elon Musk, that is not true. Of course, your background will play a great role in building your business but that is not the most important thing. You simply need to have a mind that is visionary and a determination to succeed against all odds.
Elon Musk was born in Africa – somewhere in South Africa. By the age of 10, he had gotten his first computer and created his first game at 12. He continued making games and was able to make his first $500 from selling one of them. It wasn’t until he was 17 before he arrived on the shores of the United States. However, at the age of 19, he enrolled at the Queen’s University in Ontario is Canada. A scholarship from the University of Pennsylvania however brought him back to the United States. Inspired by Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he began to focus on the potential of the internet, solar energy and space travel.
As an entrepreneur, one thing that must always be on your mind is making progress. Your present condition should not matter as much as where you are headed. It is true that your competition may have a solid base than you have, but that is no reason to fret. Like Elon Musk, you have one great potential – your mind. You can choose to be a visionary entrepreneur who will refuse to be bound by space, time or general notions.
The world is waiting for you. Engage the power of your mind and follow up with determination. Who knows, you might just be the next Elon Musk the world has been waiting for.

It never ceases to amaze me how much time people waste searching endlessly for magic shortcuts to entrepreneurial success and fulfillment when the only real path is staring them right in the face: real entrepreneurs who start real businesses that employ real people who provide real products and services to real customers.

Yes, I know that’s hard. It's a lot of work. What can I say, that’s life. Besides, look on the bright side: You get to do what you want and you get to do it your way. There’s just one catch. You’ve got to start somewhere. Ideas and opportunities don’t just materialize out of thin air.

The only way I know to get started is by learning a marketable skill and getting to work. In my experience, that’s where the ideas, opportunities, partners, and finances always seem to come from. Sure, it also takes an enormous amount of hard work, but that just comes with the territory.

If you want to do entrepreneurship right, here are eight stories you’ve probably never heard about companies you’ve most definitely heard of.

**The Pierre Omidyar way**. In 1995, a computer programmer started auctioning off stuff on his personal website. AuctionWeb, as it was then known, was really just a personal project, but, when the amount of web traffic made it necessary to upgrade to a business Internet account, Omidyar had to start charging people fees. He actually hired his first employee to handle all the payment checks. The site is now known as eBay.




**The John Ferolito and Don Vultaggio way.** Back in the 70s, a couple of Brooklyn friends started a beer distributor out of the back of an old VW bus. Two decades later, after seeing how well Snapple was doing they decided to try their hand at soft drinks and launched AriZona Green Tea. Today, AriZona teas are #1 in America and distributed worldwide. The friends still own the company.

**The Matt Maloney and Mike Evans way.** When a couple of Chicago software developers working on lookup searches for Apartments.com got sick of calling restaurants in search of takeout food for dinner, the light bulb went off: Why isn’t there a one-stop shop for food delivery? That’s when the pair decided to start GrubHub, which went public last April and is now valued at more than $3 billion.

**The Joe Coulombe way**. After operating a small chain of convenience stores in southern California, Joe Coulombe had an idea: that upwardly mobile college grads might want something better than 7-11. So he opened a tropical-themed market in Pasadena, stocked it with good wine and booze, hired good people, and paid them well. He added more locations near universities, then healthy foods, and that’s how Trader Joe’s got started.



**The Howard Schultz way**. A trip to Milan gave a young marketer working for a Seattle coffee bean roaster an idea for upscale espresso cafes like they have all over Italy. His employer had no interest in owning coffee shops but agreed to finance Schultz’s endeavor. They even sold him their brand name, Starbucks.

**The Phil Robertson way**. There was a guy who so loved duck hunting that he chose that over playing pro football for the NFL. He invented a duck call, started a company called Duck Commander, eventually put his son Willy in charge, and that spawned a media and merchandising empire for a family of rednecks known as Duck Dynasty.


**The Konosuke Matsushita way**. In Japan in 1917, a 23-year-old apprentice at the Osaka Electric Light Company with no formal education came up with an improved light socket. His boss wasn’t interested so young Matsushita started making samples in his basement. He later expanded with battery-powered bicycle lamps and other electronic products. Matsushita Electric, as it was known until 2008 when the company officially changed its name to Panasonic, is now worth $66 billion.

**The Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs way**. While they had been friends since high school, the two college dropouts gained considerable exposure to the computer world while working on game software together on the night shift at Atari. The third Apple founder, Ron Wayne, was also an Atari alumnus.

As I always say, the world is full of infinite possibilities and countless opportunities, but your life and career are finite, meaning you have limited time to find what you’re searching for and make your mark on the world. This is your time. It’s limited so don’t waste it. Find something you like to do and just do it. That’s how real entrepreneurs always start.

Great topic bro,I believe this is a must read for all our youths out there,who are busy chasing shadow s and are at a crossroads of where their responsibilities lie....
For someone like me, I have an interest in music /entertainments,events,shows, I like surfing the net and I like going out to fun places,My strength lies in area of being able to help and assist people with their issues and problem solving......What do you think?
Thanks......
blackpromise@yahoo.com

Thanks brother for reading. I think you can use your love for music and showbiz to help the inner city kids achieve their dreams. I might be a bit vague here, but I will throw some ideas to your mail if any pops up. Thanks again .

sweetilicious:
You came on time i swear. I can do alot of things anytime i get to challenge myself. I believe that jack of all trade is a master of all because no knowledge is a waste and the world is versatile. I believe in myself but my only difficulty is having no one to cheer me up. I use to not until death took her away. She was an inspiration. Someone that would say, sing out your passion. Write your name on the lips of people. Op, you are blessed

Thanks Man. You will find your way with determination and smart work

Maybe this wasn’t the year of greatness for me. Often I lost my way in the maze.
For the people I didn’t call back, I’m sorry. For the people I hurt, I’m sorry. For the people I love, I hope I see you more.
Sometime it seems like everyone got the rule book but I have to figure it out. What are the rules? What is the game?
If I’m lucky enough to see 2018, then maybe I will have avoided some of these mistakes.
********************
Kanye West. I understand many people don’t like him. But he is better than you or me. He simply is.
He is talented at music, production, promotion, singing — and he combines them well to make some good music. He has sold 32,700,000 more albums than I have.
When we hate on Kanye it’s a way to provide stress relief. To find some rationale as to why we might be better than him. But we aren’t.
I want to keep getting better at many things, get good at combining them, and be the best at the combination.
One time I was eating dinner in the Mercer Lounge. The only other person there was at the table next to me.
Kanye West.
I wanted to talk to him but I was shy. Everyone probably wants to talk to him. He was hunched over his computer. Scrolling through clothes.
“I think it’s his clothing line,” my friend whispered to me. We didn’t want him to hear.
He was by himself for an hour. Then when he left, the outside lit up like a lightening storm. Photos.
Sad Kanye West.
Listen to his song, “Good Morning”. It’s uplifting.
It’s also an ode against college education and a hint at what kids might find when they are no longer pampered and have to face the difficulty of making an impact in the world.
Good morning! Please listen to it.
Kanye West is trying to make his way through the maze also.
***********************************
Being grateful.
It’s hard to say this is a mistake. But maybe part of it is. It’s like I’m saying, “At least I have THIS or I’d be sad. Thank god for them or I’d kill myself.”
It’s like a mini pity party.
Maybe better than being grateful is to think of the things I am doing right now to make my life, and the life around me, a better place.
Like instead of saying, “I’m grateful I woke up healthy” I should replace that with “today I’m going to exercise.”
Or, instead of saying, “I wrote yesterday,” come up with ideas to write about today.
I want to move forward instead of trying to put band-aids on sadness.
***************************
People used to say, “I don’t watch TV.” Like a badge.
It was a sign of intellectual independence somehow. Superiority.
But TV is a way I can absorb thousands of stories and learn from them and become better and yes, escape, because of them.
I recently saw that one of my favorite science-fiction writers, Charles Yu, is now working on one of my favorite TV shows: Westworld.
He went from writing novels to the greatness of TV.
Oh! And two seconds ago I found out that one of my favorite comic book writers, Ed Brubaker, also works on Westworld.
And every day I see movie writers, movie directors, movie actors, novelists, switching over to TV shows.
I just re-watched “Lost.” I want to crash on a mysterious island that changes my life in unpredictable ways.
I watched all six seasons of “Lost” with my 14 year old. She loved it. Sometimes quantity time is just as good as quality time.
TV is not escapism. The best TV is beautiful art. The best artists are making TV right now.
Some of my current favorite TV shows: Shameless, Billions, Louie, Westworld, Stranger Things, The Crown, House of Cards.
One well-known and hard-working businessman that I admire told me earlier this year, “people should get to work and stop watching ‘House of Cards’.”
Hustle Hustle Hustle!
Ease up on the 20 hours a day of work, my friend.
Sometimes it’s ok to enjoy life with the people you love, the only sounds that of your favorite actors crying and being comforted by magic and love.
********************************
There’s a commercial from the 80s where a kid is telling his grandpa (they are on a canoe for some reason) he has a friend who is Jewish (or black, I forget). The grandfather says, “that’s prejudiced.”
Now I have friends who are for Trump. And other friends who are for Hilary. And both hate each other.
And both claims the other side is filled with hate while “their side” is not filled with hate.
This is the test. Democracy is so audacious it always wants to test us. Can we move beyond our personal desires and fears and work towards creating our own impact.
With art, with our work, with our words, with the way we treat each other. History is a story we write together.
When I was a kid, a friend of mine had a pinball machine in his basement. This was an amazing thing.
All of us would play all day. If the pinball gets stuck, you have to shake the machine to unfreeze it.
If you shake the machine too much you lose the game. It’s called “Tilt”. Illegal.
We were kids so one loss didn’t mean so much. We’d hit each other and laugh and play. One game, then another, then another.
And sometimes, we knew it was time to shake the machine just a little bit. So we could keep playing and laughing.
Only much later we grew up.!

Many people are in search of their purpose, or true calling, in life.

And this is certainly a worthy endeavor   — research has shown that knowing your sense of purpose adds up to 7 years of extra life expectancy.

But finding your purpose can be quite challenging since it can be an abstract and ambiguous phenomenon.

Therefore, the objective of this article is to make the process more concrete and actionable.

I believe that true calling lies at the intersection of three important areas: your strengths, interests, and what benefits others.

truecalling
When these three forces are all at play, you are doing what you were born to do.

Of course it is important to have a clear understanding about each of the three components, so let’s break them down.

Strengths

We are all born with, or have developed, talents and strengths that distinguish us from others. We simply do some things better than most other people do, and it is important to know what these things are and to lean in to them. Research shows that applying our strengths is connected to greater work satisfaction, engagement, and productivity. And using our strengths makes us happier and more successful, too.

It is through this process that I learned that some of my top strengths are my focus, determination, and analytical nature.

Interests

This might seem like an obvious one, and certainly unique to every individual. But even identifying personal interests can be tricky.

We’re often told to pursue our passions, but many people do not have pre-existing burning passions. The reality is that passion often doesn’t just exist  —  it needs to be developed.

Therefore, a better approach is to start by thinking about anything that you are interested in or enjoy doing (even remotely). Take the time to write these interest areas down, and then add to the list whenever something makes you happy, curious, or intrigued to learn more. Over time trends will appear and you will have a good sense for what you truly enjoy doing.

If you get stuck, start by designing what your perfect day would look like, from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep.

Even thinking about how you choose to spend your free Saturday afternoons gives a good indication of your interests.

I have discovered that I love reading and writing, especially about personal improvement and philosophies of life.

What Benefits Others

Now that your top strengths and interests have been identified, you are already light years ahead of most people. Uniting just those two forces, whether as a profession or hobby, can ignite your happiness and success. But to truly find your calling and purpose in life, it is important to leverage those areas for the greater good.

Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones already operating in your sweet spot. But if not, often just combining your strengths and interests will naturally unearth a path to help others. And perhaps by now you have already had some ‘a ha’ moments.

You don’t need to only consider major global issues — your family, community, school, city, company (or other group or organization that is important to you) are also in need of your unique contributions.

Don’t forget that people are in need of entertainment, humor, relaxation, education, beauty, social gathering, and other simple joys.

For example, if you’re a particularly patient person, and you enjoy spending time with children, you could focus your efforts on mentoring or coaching. Or maybe you’re a doctor with a passion for travel, so you seek out opportunities to volunteer your medical services abroad. Or perhaps you are great with numbers and interested in money markets, and therefore are well-suited to help people accumulate wealth and save for retirement.

For me personally, I found that I was reading every book I could get my hands on related to happiness, health, productivity, and success. I would underline key passages and then, after finishing the book, would transcribe my key takeaways into a one-pager. I was initially doing this for my own use, but then realized that others could also benefit from my research and writing about these key insights for living well.

I have now been writing about these topics for almost two years, and find it very meaningful to leverage my top talents (focus, analytical nature) and interests (reading and writing about personal improvement) to help other people lead happier, healthier, more productive lives.

Go Find Your Calling

We all want to wake up in the morning with a clear sense of purpose that guides and gives meaning to our lives.

But your calling won’t necessarily just “call” out to you. You will likely need to search for it.

By following the steps outlined above, you can find and nurture it.

Your true calling will emerge as you combine your top strengths and interests with what benefits others.

When you do that, you are doing what you were meant to do.

We’ve all been in a relationship that seems doomed. Maybe one person gives everything they have while the other just tries to take everything that they can. Perhaps both partners just stopped trying. Either way, there IS hope for those single Pringles to better themselves and better the quality of their love lives. Here are a few ways to improve your next relationship.


**Instead of obsessing over your ex’s flaws, evaluate your own.
**
Most people only see their partner’s flaws and unintentionally neglect their own. This seems harmless; however it can result in bickering and one or both partners becoming dissatisfied.

Remember in high school when the teacher asked us to grade ourselves? And in job interviews and evaluations, we are consistently asked to point out weaknesses and other “areas of opportunity.” The reason for this is because unless asked to do so, humans are typically reluctant to search internally for problems when faced with adversity.

Hopefully you’re not reading this and giving yourself all “A”s — try to honestly and humbly reflect and consider your partner’s complaints, and determine the validity of those concerns. When we accept our shortcomings, we are far more likely to seek improvement than when our partner (or boss or teacher) conjures a moment of reflection.

**Figure out why you want a partner and what you hope to get out of a relationship.**

Everyone has their personal reasons for wanting a partner. Many seek emotional fulfillment, while others desire fulfillment physically. Some are simply afraid of being alone; they allow their definition of worth to be dictated by whether or not they have a significant other. Contrarily, some people simply find a partner for personal gain.

Whatever your need(s) are for a partner, it’s important to know them prior to entering a relationship. How can you expect a fruitful partnership if your definition of success has yet to be define? Utilize time in between relationships to determine what you like and don’t like and where your areas of opportunity lie. If you can’t figure them out for yourself, you can reach out to an ex and ask for them to candidly outline some for you.

**DISCLAIMER**: This article is solely based on the medical benefits of marijuana. We are highlighting the positive aspects only, based on researches and scientific evidences. Please note, Copersinsider does not promote consumption of marijuana for recreational or prescribe it for any other purposes in that manner.
You will be surprised to know why studies have been done on this herb, and for your favor, here is the list of 20 medical benefits of marijuana you probably never knew!




- Marijuana slows and stops cancer cells from spreading.

It was found in the study, published in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, that Cannabidiol has the ability to stop cancer by turning off a gene called Id-1. In 2007, researchers at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, reported that CBD may prevent cancer from spreading. The researchers experimented on breast cancer cells in the lab that had high level of Id-1, and treated them with cannabidiol. The outcome was rather positive, the cells had decreased Id-1 expression, and were less aggressive spreaders. In fact, the American Association for Cancer Research has found that marijuana actually works to slow down tumor growth in brain, breast, and lungs considerately.

- Prevents Alzheimer’s.

THC, the active ingredient present in marijuana slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, a 2006 study led by Kim Janda of the Scripps Research Institute found out. THC slows the formation of amyloid plaques by blocking the enzyme in the brain that makes them. These plaques kill the brain cells, and potentially lead to Alzheimer’s disease.



- Treats Glaucoma.

Weed can be used to treat glaucoma, which increases the pressure in the eyeball, injuring the optic nerve and causing loss of vision. According to National Eye Institute, marijuana lowers the pressure inside the eye, “Studies in the early 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked, lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with normal pressure and those with glaucoma.”

These effects of the drug can prevent blindness.

- Relieves Arthritis.

In 2011, researchers reported that cannabis reduces pain and inflammation, and promotes sleep, which may help relieve pain and discomfort for people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Researchers of the rheumatology units at several hospitals gave their patients Sativex, a cannabinoid-based pain-relieving medicine. After two weeks, patients on Sativex had a significant reduction in pain, and improved better sleep quality compared to placebo users.


- Controls Epileptic seizure.

A 2003 study showed that marijuana use can control epileptic seizure.

Robert J. DeLorenzo, of Virginia Commonwealth University, gave marijuana extract and synthetic marijuana to epileptic rats. The drugs stopped the seizures in about 10 hours. It is found out that the THC controlled the seizures by binding the brain cells responsible for controlling excitability and regulating relaxation. The results were published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

- Eases the pain of multiple sclerosis.

Weed works to stop the negative neurological effects and muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis. A study published in the Canadian Medical Association suggests that marijuana may ease painful symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

Jody Cory Bloom studied 30 multiple sclerosis patients with painful contractions in their muscles. These patients didn’t respond to other medications, but after smoking marijuana for few days, they reported that they were in less pain. The THC in the pot bonds the receptors in the nerves and and muscles to relieve pain.

- Soothes tremors for people with Parkinson’s disease.

Recent studies from Israel shows that smoking marijuana remarkably reduces pains and tremors and improves sleep for Parkinson’s disease patients. What was impressive about the research was the improvement of the fine motor skills among patients.

Israel has made medical marijuana legal, and a lot of research into the medical uses of weed is done there, supported by the Israeli Government.

- Helps with Crohn’s disease.

Cannabis can cure Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder that causes pain, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and more. But a recent study in Israel showed that smoking a joint considerably reduced Crohn’s disease symptoms in 10 out of 11 patients, and caused a complete cancellation ofthe disease in five of those patients.

Of course, this is a small study, but other researches have shown similar results. The cannabinoids from cannabis seem to help the gut control bacteria and intestinal function.

- Decreases the symptoms of Dravet’s Syndrome.

Dravet Syndrome causes seizures and severe developmental delays. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, renowned chief medical correspondent for CNN, is treating a five years old girl, Charlotte Figi, who has Dravet’s Syndrome, with medical marijuana strain high in cannabidiol and low in THC.

During the research for his documentary “WEED”, Gupta interviewed the Figi family, and according to the film, the drug decreased her seizures from 300 a week to just one every seven days. Forty other children are using the same medication, and it has helped them too. The doctors who are recommending this medication say that the cannabidiol in the plant interacts with the brain cells to quiet the excessive activities in the brain that causes the seizures.

faorex:
we don hear

Follow the advise well ooo. Life tuff.

1. Nobody owes you a damned thing in life. The sooner you get this, the sooner you can take responsibility for improving your life.
You are solely responsible for yourself, your actions, speech and thoughts. Not your parents, not your friends, not your spouse or children. YOU.

2. Hell is other people - if you hang around people that are always negative, don’t want the best for you and otherwise hold you back from achieving your potential. Get rid of those people ASAP.

3. Sausage in, sausage out. Be super careful about what food you put in your mouth, what music you listen to, what books you read, what movies you watch, etc. If you consume bad food or garbage content regularly, you will become garbage yourself.

4. You are not a special butterfly. Every single person puts their pants on, one leg at a time, yourself included. Every person struggles from time to time. Every person wants to cry out.

5. There are no magic life hacks to become successful overnight. You have to hustle constantly, sell yourself to everyone you meet, tell a good story and always know how to get your point across to every audience you encounter.

6. There is always someone smarter, more motivated, harder-working, prettier, richer, more precocious than you. The worst thing you can do is to compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself instead to your own potential and you’ll be on the right road.

7. You will not know nearly the full extent of your potential until you are challenged to your core, repeatedly, and live up to your promise, time and time again. Resilience is key, along with imagination, creativity and a glass always half full (even when it looks empty). Seek out the challenges first before they seek you out to drag you through hell.

8. Good intentions lead to one place and one place only, when unaccompanied by actions. Be a man or woman of your word and you will gain instant value in the eyes of others.

9. Mastering a skill, job or career takes a lot longer than just becoming conversant, but often a lot sooner than 10,000 hours. It takes patience, dedication, the motivation to always be the best, especially when you’re surrounded by other brilliant, motivated people that have been doing what you want to be doing for years.

10. People in business will help you (almost always) only after you help them first. Don’t ask for something from a person before offering him or her some concrete value first.
It certainly helps to be good-looking and well-connected. But if you’re neither, being well-spoken, motivated and passionate might just take you further in life than looks and connections.

Lots of people want to start a business. But not everyone has what it takes.

The proportion of those who merely want to be entrepreneurs will always be higher than that of the few who actually start a business. The simple reason is that not everyone is cut out for the rigors of entrepreneurship.

So, you may be thinking about starting a business. But can you? Check out the following signs that you are not cut out for the entrepreneurial life.

You Prefer following orders

The world is made of followers and leaders. Which one are you?


If you're committed to being a comfortable order-taker the rest of your life, perhaps entrepreneurship is not for you. If, on the other hand, you feel a twitch of desire to make some decisions and give some orders, that may be the spark of entrepreneurship.

You prefer working to fulfill someone else's dream

Businessman, investor and philanthropist Farrah Gray wrote, "Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs." Which do you prefer to do?

You may be content to pour your life and hard work into someone else's dream. And that's fine. Many people find true fulfillment in this pursuit. Parents, for example, are motivated by a desire to help their children achieve their dreams. Teachers give their lives to motivating and prospering a generation of students. Nonprofits exist to rekindle dying dreams.

It's not wrong to nurture someone else's dream. But if you have your own dreams, perhaps you should stop working to fulfill someone else's.

You don't like hard work
Entrepreneurship is about hard work. It's about facing indecision, insecurity, instability and borderline insanity.

There's nothing really pleasant about that. Ironic as it seems, there's a certain satisfaction in hard work. Humans are made for hard work, and hard work has its own reward.

It's cliche to say "work smart, not hard." But here's the rude reality: You must work smart and hard. Entrepreneurship isn't a bag of smart tricks. It's smart tricks combined with heart-pounding hard work.

If you're not into the whole hard-work thing - rewarding as it is - then the entrepreneurial life is not for you.

HateU2:
oh!
It is sir

Love is one of the best tin 2 Eva happen to man

Are you in love with your partner or are you just attached to them? Love can be complicated, but this article explains a few of the differences between attachment and real love. I hope that these explanations will aid you in nurturing your current relationship or creating one based on genuine love in the future.



**Love is selfless, attachment is selfish
**
When you’re in love, you focus on making the other person happy. You’re always thinking of ways to make sure that your partner feels loved and fulfilled. You aren’t keeping score, arguing over who helps more, or fighting over who is supposed to wash the dishes. You don’t emotionally blackmail your partner, try to manipulate them, or seek to dominate the relationship.

When you’re merely attached to someone, you’re focused upon the ways in which they can make you happy. You become heavily dependent upon your partner and may even try to control him or her to avoid abandonment. Instead of confronting your own issues, you use your partner to improve your self-esteem and fill a void within you. You believe that they are responsible for your happiness and become frustrated and angry if they fail to bring you contentment.

**Love is liberating, attachment is controlling
**
Mutual love allows you to be your true self. Your partner encourages you to be who you genuinely are and you won’t be afraid to expose your weaknesses. Mutual trust develops and becomes a powerful catalyst for personal growth for both of you. Love is never controlling. In actuality, love transcends control. Your partner’s ability to accept you for who you are and encourage you to pursue your dreams allows you to let go of the need to control their life.

Attachment, on the other hand, tends to fuel controlling behavior. You may discourage your partner from spending time with their friends, play mind games, or put an unhealthy level of focus on pleasing them. You may even try to manipulate them into staying with you regardless of their feelings.



**Love is mutual growth, attachment is encumbering**

If you’re in love, you and your partner will grow together. When both of you work to become the best versions of yourselves, you’ll become better than you could have on your own. In short, your partner stimulates your growth, and you do the same for them.

In cases of attachment, your urge to control and your inability to solve your own problems restricts your growth as well as your partner’s. Your unresolved issues cause unnecessary dependence upon your significant other. Not surprisingly, this restricts the growth of both parties and makes it difficult to love in a healthy way.

Being in a relationship can be comforting and attractive and it can teach you a lot about love. But it can also limit you. Being single, on the other hand, opens up a whole world of freedom you never even knew existed. Stop worrying that you are still single, and instead embrace the positive sides of your life situation.

Here are 25 reasons being single rocks when all your friends are tied down.



**You can flirt all you want.
**
If you practice enough, flirting can become one of your most treasured pastimes.

**Going out has endless possibilities.
**
We’ve all had that friend who got into a relationship and was never seen again.

Going out isn’t as much fun when you’re committed. When you’re single, going out is a whole different story! And it usually involves a happy ending.



**The only person you have to check in with is your mother.**

And even my mother doesn’t care as much about what I’m doing as some of my ex-girlfriends.
**You never have to clear your browsing history.**

Which gives you time for more important things, like binge watching Game of Thrones.

**You can take up the whole bed any night of the week.**

What I miss most when I’m in a relationship are my bed sheets.

Let’s face it, partners hog the bed and when you call them out for it they always have some lame excuse like, “I was trying to snuggle.” I don’t want to snuggle, woman! I want my bed back.

**You can’t argue with a boyfriend/girlfriend when you don’t have one.**

Isn’t it just the best feeling when you’re out having a grand old time, drinking beer, hitting on anything that walks, and you look over to see a couple fighting? That’s sweet success, my single friends.

**You can watch Beyonce’s visual album Lemonade without worrying whether you, yourself, are being cheated on.
**
I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all seen Beyonce’s newest claim to fame. We’ve seen it, we’ve talked about it, we’ve probably even tweeted about it. The final consensus seems to be that nobody in a relationship feels safe. If the Queen Bee is being cheated on, I’m screwed!

At 25 you are still young, yet you’re old enough to have picked up some vital life lessons. Here are five things to remember as you pass your quarter-century milestone.

Keep them in mind and you’ll never go far wrong, even when life doesn’t go quite according to plan.

Time spent on people who don’t appreciate you is time wasted
Life is challenging enough even with the support of positive people, so don’t waste your precious time or energy on those who belittle you, fail to appreciate you, or make you feel bad. Most of us can probably remember a time when we spent weeks, months or even years trying to win over someone who in the end just didn’t deserve us. When you sense that a so-called friend or partner is using you or neglects to show you affection, it’s time to move on. Show yourself some respect and sever ties that damage your emotional health.

Identify what you want, and go for it

No-one else can know you better than you can know yourself. By the time you reach your mid-twenties, you will realize that only you can choose the right path for yourself. This applies to the career you pursue, the type of relationships you want, and the skills you develop. It may feel initially scary to take complete responsibility for yourself, but ultimately you will feel completely empowered. It takes courage to look to yourself for guidance, especially if you come from a critical home environment, but doing so is part of being a fully-developed adult. Remember the first time you took a decision that was based solely on your own preferences and values, and how good that felt? Hold onto that memory and use it to bolster your courage when it’s time to chase after your dreams.

They need alot more than big dick. Read carefully.....

A couple of weekends ago, I had the privilege of watching my nine-month-old son. This may not seem like a big deal, however, this was the first weekend that he and I would spend together alone. As my wife walked out the door, she turned and assured me that all would be fine and we would have a great time.

I didn’t doubt her, but there was a lingering question in the back of my head asking, “Are you sure you know what you are doing?”

Admittedly, I didn’t. I knew that I had to change him, feed him, play with him, and give him a bath, but other than that, I didn’t know how I was going to entertain him for an entire weekend.

As he looked at me with uncertainty (and rightfully so), I took a deep breath and asked him what he wanted to do. To my amazement, he said nothing.

Back to square one.

After a little back and forth, it suddenly dawned on me that I had a unique opportunity to undo everything that my wife had taught him and teach him the things that I wanted to teach him.

I could teach him how to use power tools, play football, learn how to play Xbox, and many other “cool” things.

Much to my chagrin, he had no desire to learn any of these.

It took some time, but after the “feeling out” phase, we had a blast.

We played, sang, danced, read a few books, and napped together.

The most amazing part of the weekend was not all the things we did together (although those were amazing), but rather what he ended up teaching me. Here are 7 lessons my baby taught me.

Be Fearless

As I watched him stumble his way around things, I realized that he is relentless in his pursuit of walking. As with any new skill, learning can be a struggle. What makes his pursuit remarkable is that his struggling only forced him to work harder at it. At such a young age, he understands that his goals will not happen if he does not work at them.

Challenge Authority

He has just about mastered this. While unable to construct words yet, he has become very proficient at vocalizing his displeasure. Too often, we are afraid to speak up for fear of judgment, rejection, or ridicule. Much like him voicing his concerns, if you know there is a better way to do something, speak up.

Never Stop Learning

Watching him is the most amazing experience. He uses the senses that most take for granted (touch, taste, smell, hearing, and feeling) to learn and interpret his surroundings. He understands that to achieve his goals, he must be willing to learn in different ways.

Try New Things

He is constantly attempting new things to see what they are and how they work. Yes, he gets frustrated, as we all do, but he never gives up, which is something that we all need to do.

What do women want?

This is question men have been asking themselves for centuries and they still haven’t found the answer. In fact these days it seems men and women have become more separated than ever. Misunderstandings, media reports and television series are making it difficult for men to know how they should behave and if they are doing things right.

Women, on the other hand, now have been given unreasonably high expectations and often find themselves disappointed when they aren’t met. This causes hurt all around, while things could be so easy. When I asked my friends what they looked for in men and what they did not want the answers were simple.

Want: Respectful behaviour, sense of humour.

Don’t want: Shallowness, sexism.

And one, very, very important thing. Really, if you just remember the following rule, everything else will fall into place by itself. The way to a woman’s heart is not just seeing her, but hearing her.

Talking is key!

Yes, sex is great but what about companionship, friendship, talking? For a relationship to last beyond lust you don’t just need love, but also the will to find common ground beyond the attraction. Taking an interest, giving a little compliment. The feeling of being important to someone who respects and values you often counts more than any gift could ever do. Spend a few nights in talking to each other or watching tv together, really get to know the person you want to be with.

Make her feel wanted.

Nothing says “I care” more than a gesture that shows how much you love her. Something that shows you’d do anything for her now and forever. Not a possessive macho “now you’re mine” thing, but a romantic gallant seductive move. What the gesture should be is up to the woman in question and you’d have to find that out yourself. Yes, you really have to do topic one first.

Don’t make assumptions.

Just because you’re dating a woman doesn’t mean you can just assume certain things. You can’t just buy a handbag or a pink vase. Every person has like and dislikes. Maybe she preferred a DVD of her favourite show, tickets to the theatre or even a subscription to Netflix. Know what she wants and your gifts will be treasured – and you’ll be too.
