 Re: Your Life...
What is your outlook on life?
Bleak. I see a frightening downward spiral occuring in our society. Everyone is so concerned with "making it" or getting to the top they don't understand in order to do that you HAVE TO crush other people, with the same ambitions and dreams as you who are striving for the same exact thing. There can only be one #1. We've always had competition in our society but lately it seems companies aren't content with sharing the spotlight.. it's either all or nothing. Most companies can no longer exist in the #3 position.. Ford Motor Company is a perfect example. They're in the midst (or have they already.!?) of a massive lay off of hundreds of thousands of jobs which will mean for the first time in America a foreign car manufacturer (possible Honda or Toyota) will be in the top 3..! It use to be Ford, General Motors and Daimler Chrysler.. but now Ford, with the massive lay offs and product restructering will no longer be able to maintain their top 3 spot. I think in the future you'll notice more and more BIG companies following suite and either downsizing or worse, folding altogether. Ofcourse this means more unemployment.. more taxes for the working to balance that unemployment.. and eventually if things continue along this trend it'll be far worse for people in the future because with less options and choices to pick from.. not only does the consumer suffer but companies seek other viable sources of manufacturing be it outside of the US, or by cutting out the human employee altogether and going with an automated work force. This.. not even including problems with our Ozone, problems with other countries and threats of Nuclear weapons, wide spread famine and disease in 3rd world countries... there's just so many things going wrong with our species and our eco-system it becomes apparent that the distant future doesn't look so good..!
What is the purpose?
Of Life... In my opinion the purpose of life is as simple as a test to advance further. If you believe in God and Heaven.. Life is your test to get into Heaven and prove you belong there. If you're a complete self centered, heartless asshole on Earth how would you expect to be granted passage into the kingdom of Heaven..? If you don't believe in God.. Life is YOUR test to take and learn the answers to so when you have children you can cheat and help them out with their "test". If you believe in reincarnation.. Life is your test to prove you're worthy to be reborn again. Life is a Test.
What are your goals?
To provide for my family. To be the best at whatever I do, no matter how big or how small, how important or how insignificant. To raise my son to be a good man.
your weakness?
Family. If you have a family (Mom, Dad, Wife, Kids, etc...) if you're close to them, and love them.. IT'S YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS..! I'm 99.99% sure almost everyones answer will be the same.
your fears?
Again.. the previous question and this one go hand in hand. Something happening to my family is the only thing I really fear.
Who are you right now and how far are you from what you want to be in life?
If I get this job I'm in the running for I'll be looking pretty good. I've already been offered the position but on a different shift ( I want Graveyard) and I've been told as soon as something on 3rd shift opens they'll be calling me because they really want me to work for them. Which says a lot for me and what I've accomplished since I'm a highschool drop out (GED..! STAND UP..!) with no college degrees, so to be making 60,000+ usd a year would be something..! We'll see.. as far as a person, especially as a father and husband i still have a lot of work to do. I'm learning. I think I'm a better husband now for sure. I'm getting better as a parent. Always room for improvement... perfection is impossible in those areas I believe but I'll keep striving towards it.
My apologies for the length.. typical STRONGARM..! lol.. |
