RE: How Steemit has improved my Attitude towards Money - You can do the Same
I think a lot of people in our generation have negative feelings about money/capitalism, like it's an evil thing, but I have found it so empowering to run several small businesses in my life. It's an amazing feeling to turn your skills, your resources, and your passions into dollars, that you can then use to buy the things you need and want. People talk like socialism is the way to care for the poor, but I find it so degrading to just take handouts from the government or from people who look down on you like you're worthless and like they're doing you a huge favor by allowing your existence. If we really want to fight poverty and value human worth, we should be focusing on encouraging a free economy and entrepreneurship instead of punishing it.
My mom read this post today and said I cut corners a little, haha! I said I need to slightly exaggerate to make things more entertaining but also that we all have our own point of views/ perspectives on situations.
Beautifully put!
I never received any money from the government and the only time I asked for it, I was really desperate and - in the end - didn't receive any but found myself two part time jobs (that was just before I started on my short film Zeespiegel (2010).
Hear! Hear!
Has anybody ever told you to run for president? ;>)
Lol! I don't think I could handle running a whole country :D
