Negative pwople talk about what they CAN'T do...instead of what they CAN do. Most negative people that crossed my path, are not learners and doers, but the opposite. They seem to think that the things that you accomplishe...just somehow falls out of the sky, etc. They never seem to realize the amount of time that is involved in completing a project to a successful end.
They are quick to criticize or down-play your ideas and/or projects. These people seem to think, that the accomplishments in your life...just happened magically. They don't realize the number of hours that you put into your work...and they probably don't care. People like this are just around to criticize you and make your life miserable, etc. They serve no real purpose in life...I call these people the 'little minds of the world.'
For our friends and neighbors around the world, who may not be familiar with the following term, I will describe it for them;
brownbagging; (definition); to bring (one's own lunch) to work or elsewhere; usually in a small brown paper bag;
free lunch; (definition); something given with no expectation, etc. Example; 'In politics, there is no free lunch; everyone expect favors to be repaid;"
To all the "little minds of the world;" who think that your accomplishments grow on trees...
Writing; I've always wanted to try my hand at writing in my later years, and so at the age of 43, I completed three writing courses to try to improve my writing skills which included; Writers Degest Course; the National Writing Club Course; a creative writing courst at the University of New Mexico. At the time, it cost me about 250 dollars and it took about 18 months to complete. There's NO free lunch.,,
Computer courses; Here, again...when I was about 53 years of age, I went to the local community college, to get computer skills I didn't have. By getting these skills, helped me to find work. Completing these courses took about 18 months, and the costs were not very much...about $50. There's NO free lunch...
Chiropractic; When I was eleven years old, I suffered a fall at my father's company picnic up in the mountains, and I suffered migraine headaches for years, as damage to the neck and upper spine were done. After ten years of suffering from the migraines and nose-bleeds, I finally found the answers in chiropractic. I visited a chiropractor for over TEN years, at a cost of hundreds of dollars, to get me straightened up...there's NO free lunch.
Losing weight; In 2001, I lost over 40 pounds, and it took over a year to do it. There wasn't much or any cost to do this...it just took will power, sacrifice and determination...there's NO free lunch...
Here's The Skinny On How I Lost 40 Pounds;
Quitting smoking; I quit smoking in 1970, when I was only 24 years old. All the 'little minds of the world," said I couldn't do it. I not only quit smoking cigarettes, but there would be no tobacco in my life...cigars; pipes; chew...no tobacco for the next 40 years. This is one of the best things I've ever done in my life...there's NO free lunch!
Smoking Sucks! How I Quit Smoking;
The Silent Killer (High blood pressure); Because of the fall I mentioned earlier, I have suffered from high blood pressure all my life. Because of this, I never thought I would live to the age of 55. The age of 55 came and went; the age of 60 came and went; the age of 65 came and went; and now at the age of 68 (Feb, 2013), I am still here alive and well. Over 40 years of blood pressure problems, that I have had to deal with...that is...if I wanted to live longer...there's NO free lunch!
Award-winning website; For years, I wanted a website, to show the world what I could do. The day finally came in 2001, when I got my first website. When I saw that clip-art library, I knew that I would put up one of the best websites in the 'beginning' category...and I did just that...but, it didn't come without struggle...there's NO free lunch!
Website name; humordoctormd; Humor and creativity just seem to go together.
A member of the negative 'little minds of the world,' will tell you, that all you have to do to get a great resume, is to go out in the back yard, and pull your credits off the tree...
Cloud 9 Page; This resume has taken me 11 years to acquire...and remember...there's NO free lunch...
Published Articles; In 2006, I began posting my articles (98) on the article directory, and over 100 orf my articles, have been published on more than 500 websites on the Internet. Little by little, it took me more than 3 years to compose this page, as my articles continued to be published...and, as the reader already knows...there is NO free lunch!
SiteMap; (350 Links); Lost and Found Department;
This is the title of the longest article I have ever put together. The piece was started on Christmas Eve of 2011...and I worked on it for over a month. By the end of January 2012, I was still putting the finishing touches on it. I wanted this piece so bad because it is my bread and butter piece, listing everything I do. Granted, this piece took me a long time to post...but, as the saying goes...there's NO free lunch...
High School Graduate; At the time (in 1963), my old highschool, Sandia High School, was the biggest high school in the state of New Mexico. (Sandia means 'watermellon' in Spanish); At the time, Sandia ranked in the #3 spot (academically) over the state behind Los Alamos High School (where so many engineers and scientists live) and Roswell High School in the #2 spot.
Why Sandia for a name? Because Sandia High School, is located near the foothills of the towering Sandia Mountains (shaped like a big watermellon), which rise to a height of over 10,600 feet above sea level, and supports the longest tramway system in North America.
At the time, Sandia had about 3,300 students, and my graduating class was about 550. Sandia High is tough, because it doesn't lower its standards...you either get through Sandia...or you don't. I proudly graduated LAST in my class...'summa cum lousy," BUT I graduated...and went on to attend Highlands Universtiy and the University of New Mexico. I learned early in life that...there is NO free lunch.
Removing defibrillator device;
The defibrillator device was implanted in 2006. Because the life of the battery of the device was due in 2012, surgery would have to be done to replace the battery. In January, 2012, I told my cardiologist, that I wanted the device OUT. This process took about a year...and FINALLY... surgery was done on Januray, 8, 2013, and the device was taken out. I think the device had something to do, with the stroke I suffered in May, 2012. Doctor's don't agree with me. I wore this divice for over 6 years; and the process to get it out of my body took about one year. You guessed it...there's NO free lunch!
Inspiration Shopping Mall; (shop 'till you drop in color)
360+ writing pieces now on hand, this piece is probably one of the most difficult and time-consuming of them all. You see, the clip-art library at Homestead (host) doesn't exist anymore. So, if I wanted to piece this page together, I was going to have to find the clip-art on the other pages of my website and copy and past them onto this page that would be built, etc. With a clip-art library, this page would take me about three hours to complete. But, I had to find the clip-art througout the website, and then copy and paste the graphics onto the page. This task took me about two weeks to complete...there's NO free lunch...
Shopping Mall (project)(This is a colorful Red, White and Blue page);
With about 366 articles now on hand as of January, 2013, I took about five articles and polished them to make them better. These articles were from 3 to 5 years ago. What a difference! That's bad news for me, because now, I will have to go through all 366 articles and do the same. I figured this would take me over 6 months to accomplish...there's NO free lunch!
