Are you up to the challenge?

It is totally offensive and counterproductive to ever give in to failure, and rough toilet paper, unless you cannot afford anything but rough toilet paper…as someone wrote in response to a blogger  that the rich were doing.

 Never say "Yes" to less than you desrever or have worked for. Never settle for anythig less than what is yours. Never say "Yes" to failure.

A few days ago someone blogged about saying ..Yes.. to this present recession. The state of our economy is in shambles and the blogger sates that she is saying "yes" to it. Fine for her, if that is what she chooses. I choose to say… No…

One of the responders, wrote  that she was sick of reading articles about the rich…(she has had enough) who said that they ,(the rich) had to stop using soft toilet paper and not buy expensive clothing. In fact, I know many rich people  and not one of them said  taht they have stopped using soft toilet paper. That is totally ridiculous.I have not. And it is a good thing they have not, a very good thing for this economy.  Don’t be bullied or scared into scaling down…unless you cannot afford to keep up… I  worked hard all my life for everythig I have. I take no hand-outs. I am very responsible with my finances, and I can very well afford the soft toilet paper, the sofest, and  I intend to continue with it.. Why should I use sand paper as a reward for my work ethic and all the success it has brought me?

It is the "rich" people of this country that make it easy for the poor to have a decent life. As an example, Only 40 thousand people in NYC, a city of 7 million people, pay 50% of the taxes….40 thousand pay 50 percent of all the taxes. And the same can be said of all cities and every state in this country. "Rich" people keep this country afloat. Without "Rich" people in this country…many others would be living in total squalor.

I am appalled at the ignorance that is perpetuated in this country which causes such hate and total disdain for the working class who have been successful in their efforts to rise above, in many cases, total nothingness. 

One example is our  very own beloved, Dr. Chopra, as told by his son Gotham in  recent a blog. He is just one of millions of …"come from nothing"… to having everything he wants stories. A beautiful success story. 

 Not to mention the class wars which ignorance ignites.

The kind of story this country was and continues to be built on. The kind of story we, as a country, should be applauding and being thankful for. The kind of story that everyone of us has the ability to attain and shouldbe able to tell. The kind of story we are all capable of….If we say "Yes" to work ethics and success.

I say "No" to going back to nothingness. I say "No" to settling for less than what I work for and deserve. I say "No" to ordinary…and "yes" to extraordinary. I say "No" to sitting back and accepting  what others say I should settle for.

I say "Yes" to achievement and success. I say "Yes" to the entrepreneural spirit. "Yes, Yes, Yes."   I say "Yes" to soft toilet paper.

I say, "Yes I can." And "Yes I wil."

Maybe some of you who are living beyond your means with no way to pay for what you have or want, should say "Yes," to the recession and stop trying to look like you are "Rich."  So ironic, many people hold such erroneous and hateful opinions of the "Rich," and yet spend all their time trying to look like they are "Rich", but in fact have not  even earned the money or  privilage to use soft toilt paper… never mind owning a house, and now their debt is burying them in dispair and hatred for those who have earned it…not to mention all the jobs the "Rich" have created.

I say thank you to all the "Rich," in this country.

In closing, I would like to remind everyone in this country, that if the "Rich" took the ‘Say "Yes" attitude to this recession, as the blogger from Canada suggested, it would take no longer than a few months for this great country to totally collapse…on those who are not "Rich." and bury them in total despair!

I would also like to remind all bloggers here what this site was set up for…and advertises…Sharing dreams, Inspire and supporting one another. 

I challenge all of you to stand up and be counted if it is your dream to  fail or just sit back and settle for less than you work for or are capable of… Or are you inspired to be less than you are capable of being?
