Change comes from within yourself, Not from whats within another persons pockets.
I heard this quote from a very smart young man.. he says he made the quote.. so now why don't you guys live by his example and think the same way.
if your money sits in you pocket, does Bill Gates come to your house and take it and claim it as his own? No. You go out and spend it on Bill's products.. Look in the mirror.. look around your home.. All the things you own are made by the corporations you hate. why dont you stop doing business with them if you hate them.. for example.. I will not do anymore business with Best Buy because I had a bad experience with them. You can chose to do the same in your life
What you want to do in your life is not a decision for someone else to make for you. live your own life, learn from your mistakes and understand the mistakes of others, grow into a person with your own ideas wants and needs. Do not be influenced by a crowd just because its a bigger crowd or because you assume they're just like you. what does a heard of horses do when running towards a cliff?.. they follow each other off the edge to their deaths. dont be the trailing horse, be a leader in your own life.
Change also starts when you stop others picking in your own pockets.
some one reply please.. do you guys understand the meaning of the quote
I do agree that change comes within yourself, as well as others influence that change within yourself. I believe that people learn by experience, but do we really have to wait until total catastrophic collapse. Observing the current trend in the political government of Puerto Rico, a democratic government, I noticed how massive corporations poison and mutate a culture, leaving its people confused and increases uncertainty in people. As every major town has been poisoned with a walmart, walgreens, and fast food. Therefore this is a change manipulated by the environment, to create a change within oneself, although this change is a negative one it is still change. We must focus in arising a good change in people, because negative things influence people daily, and without help from others one could easily fall in that trap. Always make decisions for the good of the people, and not the good of yourself. I enjoy talking with people about these issues, it seems many have been muted and do not want to discuss these problems, it is our job, the job of this organization, to open their eyes, and awake those who remain asleep. Because the truth is waving across their faces and they remain blind to see it.
Live, Learn, Grow
the environment around you only changes you if you allow it to be an influence in your life.. you dont go shoot someone because your neighbors do it.. dont you have your own mind? Dont blame dell, walmart and walgreens and other corporation.. in example who made your laptop.. who sold you your laptop.. who repair your laptop.. if you dont like these companies theres a simple solution to your problems.. choose not to do business with them..I think you have all rights not to and a brain to help you make that decision
and as for puerto rico.. without expansion and growth brought on to that country by major corporations you would still be there buying meat as cut #1 cut #2 cut #3 and so on... with no standards for living and no real life.. so you say corporations are evil.. I say they make your life easier and better
