Man Up

Take what you want in life, this is part of what it means to be a man in life. Many people talk about what they want, money, skills, relationships, etc. But do they really want it? What people want in general is other peoples success without the hard work they put in. They think life just happens to them, guess what that is called in the real world,

#$^&^*. 

It simply doesn't happen. If you want something it is up to you to get off your butt and grab it. Stop complaining and dragging other people down in your nothingness. In the real world work is needed in order to get anything. 

The successful people of the world and in my life did not sit around and let the world shape them they shaped the world to them. If you want to be a guitarist, buy a guitar and play it for 8 hours a day, for three years. If you want to be an artist, do art everyday all day. Life is full of possibility it is up to you to take it. 

Thomas Edison once said,  "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."  Possibly the most renown american inventor Edison received only 12 weeks of formal education. This man had 1093 US patents for his inventions, some of his most popular inventions included one of the first light bulbs, phonograph, first motion picture camera, and much more. He saw the opportunities all around him starting from a young age and seized them for himself.  

Emulate Thomas Edison. Man Up and take what you want.
