I have read a lot on AR these days and heard more in other places about the "good old days". Well, if you haven't figured it out on your own, then let me be the first to explain to you that those days are gone. I don't remember penny candy and if you could buy a $20,000 house in my lifetime, then they call it a lot. That's the dirt pile that you build a home on in case you aren't familiar with the "scientific term".

I hear my parent talk about the "good old days" all the time. Here's the major problem with that mentality, they live in the same time that I do. It's called the present and the days when they could go to town with a dollar bill, see a movie, grab a burger, and go home with change are over. The time when you could go out and buy a home for next to nothing are gone as well. It's called relativity my friends, and you don't have to be Einstein to figure out the concept. The more money you make, the more money it takes. That's all you need to understand about relativity today.

You see while it is nice to look back at all the things you used to do and used to know, how far will that take you now? Ask business owners, because I can promise you that when it comes to making money, everyone know what works. They don't dwell on what used to work, only what gets them by in the here and now. However, what it costs to live these days is suddenly a huge concern. Ask an elder what they paid for their home or a head of lettuce. The first thing that will cross your mind is that you wish either one cost that today. But again, relativity, because your elders didn't make as much money then as you do now.

I admire the past, I am huge student of history myself. However, I am an even larger fan of acceptance and sometimes you have to except the fact the times have changed. My father argued with me to no end that the house he grew up in was worth no more than $70,000 at the most. This was three years ago and the home sold for $279,000. It's a 4,500 square foot home on Main Street with over a half acre lot. When my Grandparents bought it, they paid $18,000 for the home. It's all relative. Of course, my Dad tells me all the time about how he used to go to town with a dollar...........

Don't get me wrong, I wish it was a perfect world as well. I wish I could make what I do now in wages and pay what you did then in prices. But then again, I bet we all do. But it never has and it never will work that way and at some point you have to accept this crazy little thing called reality. It's not fun, it's not free, but it's just the way it is these days.

This is a phrase I have heard repeatedly throughout my life and at various points of my existence I used to agree with it. I thought that there was no point in fighting what was inevitable, and I still believe this is true. No matter how hard we fight it, some things are simply destined to be and we will never change it regardless of how hard we fight and scream. Certain aspects of this life are completely out of our hands and there is no need to spit against the wind.

However, lately I have come to believe that we must change what we can't accept. It's the same amount of words, but a completely different meaning and frankly I am starting to like this one better and better. Rather than simply accepting everything, we must learn to change what we cannot accept. We must learn to stand our ground rather than bow our heads in defeat.

I cannot accept that where I am is a s far as I will go in this life! I am happy with my life, and I truly have no complaints about it, but I think that I can make it further before my fire burns out. It's called motivation.

I cannot accept that one person can't make a difference! It all depends on your outlook and far you are willing to take your fight. Single individuals make brave efforts on a daily basis in an attempt to change the world. Some of them break through the fog and light a path that the rest will follow. They make a difference.

I cannot accept that this economy will get the better of this nation! There are signs of improvement throughout the U.S. Some markets are even back to stable point that many refer to as good. Unfortunately there are still many people out of work and many that are still suffering from the ill effects of the financial bomb that was dropped on us. But they will make it through. We are a nation of resilience and we will prove it once again and put this behind us because we will refuse to accept failure. Instead we will change it to a success.

I cannot accept that dreams must take a back seat to harsh reality! 200 years ago had you pointed to the night sky and uttered the words that one day man would walk on the Moon; you would have likely been introduced to a straight jacket. We now know that we have walked on the Moon, notice that walked is past tense because someone had the nerve to set their dream in motion and the changed what they could not accept.

I cannot accept the fact that I will stop growing! I don't mean physically with time, age, and a lowered metabolism rate, I will one grow outward from my waist with no trouble. I mean personal growth in life. I think I am a good husband, but I think I can be a better husband and I will continue to attempt to become one. I think I am a good Son, but I think I can be a better Son and I will continue to work on this as well.

This list of things that I refuse to accept can go on forever and ever. I'm sure if you think about it for a very short period, you will also come up with a long list of things that you are willing to fight against. SO while it's nice to realize that you must accept what you truly cannot change, I believe that we must also learn to change what we find unacceptable.

"Greetings from Mrs. Lee

After going through your profile over the internet i decided to contact you for friendship and assistace for distribution of my inherentance. My name is Mrs.

Jenny Lee; I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have for the work of charity. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years now.

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for a surgery soon and I want to make sure that I make this donation before undergoing my surgery.

I decided to donate the sum of $2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my husband's relatives are around me and my health status as well.

I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. I have informed my consultant about the ($2,500,000.00). it is true that I don÷Ö know you, but I have been directed by God to do this. Thanks and God bless. I will direct you further after hearing from you.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my husband relations or anybody to know because they are always around me.

Reply me through this my most private email : (mrsjennny@yahoo.com.hk)
Regards,
Jenny Lee (Mrs.)"
