How about it??
I always had an opposite thought process than my father, but it was a positive one, and we just exchanged thoughts whenever I tried to prove him wrong, and we debated. The time was always over without reaching a conclusion (at least in my head, I had won).
The thing was about the fact that my father believed that we should head out of the country for better opportunities, and we should live our lives peacefully overseas. I, an energetic teenager, thought that things come to those who work hard, make them work, trying till his bone collapses, and just coming out strong, which is not until now that is…
I always thought, why weren’t people trying till the age of 40, or just becoming the masters of things in which they admire or reach their desired goal? Why did they just settle? And also, the hardworking ones — not the country that plays the rules…
I guess I haven’t seen what he has been through and the economics that I won’t get till now (a lot of it). I am in the same ideology now — not exactly, but something like…
Alright, let’s suppose there is Person A.
A doesn’t have a father; an accident took him from A. It just doesn’t matter, as there are so many like that, right? But think about it. It is hard.
…who don’t have a parent still are among the most successful, right?? But think about it!! It is not what it seems always, though…
After a decade, he is now able to see all the hardships.
There is no man to earn, and the mother also struggles with a low wage. Suddenly, you see A get really interested in geography, but the English is not that good for him to understand. So, he was just not that good in studies and was doing great at sports — a magnificent one, a national gold medalist in athletics, and dreamt of being a coach on the national team.
He worked so very hard every day, getting up early and practicing sports, doing college studies simultaneously, and, to fill the plate, working the night shift in a factory…
Till now, everything is smooth, right??
Hardships paying off in tournaments, also having a master’s in sports, will just significantly increase his chances, right? His network, him having won medals at nationals — it must be a piece of cake for him to get appointed, right??
But then he steps into the real world!!!!!
Opportunities —
He got none!! Simply and realistically, he got none…
There were even no cash prizes in the tournaments, and the competitions assured success, and also he was an overpowered… Competitions assured success after……competition, but there was no money → Simply no money.
Money → We are like nowadays; the government cares, right?? And they want great athletes, right??
No… on any day, no…
Now I will just let the chase get back to me, myself.

→ Did you see? How simple it was for the system to show that everything is pointless till it works out. And it does work out when there is no problem in feeding your stomach.
There might be a million examples that show how a rockstar came up from poverty, but not an example where he/she is now living a simple, settled life.
You know what? Most of them are fake literary false facts. Like, seriously, I can sound so miserable at life if I wanted to show you how much hardship there was, but they usually never show how there was nepotism, falsehood, betrayal, and those massive unfair advantages made them who they are!!
→ I am not saying that they haven’t worked hard, but I wanna say the aspirations are false and fake.
Let me give you an example: they just show you movies again and again, and you have no option but to watch them for entertainment. The story is new, but same actors, same production, and you start loving it. And now they show how much they have worked hard, producing 50 flops…
But why should you have so many chances? Are they the father of cinema?? Or do they just have so much free time to produce it without caring for the future…
The System —
The system wants nothing but power and money. There is A searching for a job with full credentials and stuff, but they won’t hire. Why? Because they already appointed one who offered them money or just have a strong referral or just being dishonest.
HA, HA… Smash the door close on A’s face, mocking him behind the door that they never wanna keep you. No matter the appointed underperforms, but he did the job somehow because of it.
Now A is working as a P.E. teacher in a school. What a joke of his life now…
Similarly, suppose you are giving an interview, and suddenly a person with a list walks into the room. You try to see the list but haven’t had a chance, It was the list of employees the company would hire.
Now what are you, a clown??
Why take the interview? Because you are a witness that the hiring is fair and square, because you and the line behind you are the fair candidates only…
And when you are like, “Come on, Serinox, I have seen so much talent in the right place… right??”
It is because the talent is required for the system to move. Without it, everything would collapse, and the employers might not get to view they want.
And the talent you are talking about now — how much work, you think, do they do? They do the work of other 6–7 employees who are there from a referral, drawing a salary…
You know what? It is fine to think that, “No, it is not always the case,” but you know it when you scale it. There will be this issue so common that you can’t deny it.
And if you say, “Just start your own work,” but you can’t because it takes about 7–8 years to fit properly in the market and get to know exactly what to do. And if you are not the one responsible for feeding the family, you already have a good background, so why bother?
It is something like this: you work, you are ambitious, you work hard, and at the end I will never give you what you wanted because I always had the authority.
So, how about it?
