I was raised by a single mom in a third world country where there were lots of poor and disadvantaged people. Whenever I would belly ache about how tough life was, she would say to me: “Look around you and you’ll find three people who are much worse off than you.”
To those of you who feel desperate because the year was tough and the bottom almost fell out from under you, take a look at this, look around you and then decide if you want to sponsor one of these poor bastards who are worse off than you.
See, like Mom said, look around you and you’ll surely find at least three who are in more desperate straits than you are.
Reach for the skies, 2011 will be better.
