To Live the Life of Dreams

Brothers Sisters cousins Aunts One hundred people Ten dollars per week Fifty two thousands The deposit for a house once a year every year but my sister worries about death duties I thought to myself yes but you are only paying for what you own tax pays for the roads It pays for the schools the infrastructure of our country ten dollars per week is not that much just a third of a packet of cigarettes the money wasted on fish and chips but I suppose if you don't want to pay death duties we are allowed to give presents to our children we could all save it individually in our banks and then give it as a wedding present To a child getting married its still the same thing one house one deposit every year but fifty two thousand dollars would give that child, a head start in life whether its a house or an education saved as a group or given as a gift it's your money and these are just ideas the only difference between a successful life and a drug addicted life is decisions you decide if you are going to build a career You decide if you are going to take drugs and those decision's create your life granted if your parents have a drug problem you live a life, where it surrounds you you have a greater chance of becoming addicted and with that addiction comes the risk of jail broken laws and broken lives but it is still your choice the only one that can beat your problem is you, you are the only one, with you, twenty four hours a day the only one that knows your hearts desire Napoleon Hill was an alcoholic one day walking past a window he saw his own reflection looking at himself He decided to change and went on to become one of the worlds greatest salesman your decisions, your desires and beliefs become apart of your family's culture your children learn from what you think and say your decisions, affect your children if you think that drugs are good, because they make life feel better, that is an idea, you pass on to the child If you think that todays education is a waste of time why do you teach algebra when you never use it in life why do they teach trigonometry when we never use it as adults then think again they teach these things so you can go on to become the scientist or mathematician granted you don't use it in your life but they gave you a chance, to do more, to become better than you ever thought possible to become wiser and smarter to live the life of dreams
