Heroes

Tomorrow Won’t Suck: Heroes

If this is your first time with me you can check out my intro Blog, so you can see what Tomorrow Won’t Suck is all about.

I have a couple of heroes that I look up to: My grandfather, the late Steve Jobs (who has a wonderful biography), Jamie Dimon, and finally, the one person who I feel personifies everything that I would want to be as a successful adult, Ellen DeGeneres.

I think Ellen is the personification of what I want to achieve with Tomorrow Won’t Suck. Just recently in this past month of February she was “spreading the kindness”, which she does almost every day not just one month of the year, she helped countless people. From families in need because of disease taking control, to single parent families where the mom/dad finds themselves working multiple jobs just to keep their family going. She is a true motivation.

While we cannot all help in the way Ellen does; writing incredible checks or dropping briefcases full of money. We can all help in some way; take your time to be aware of people in need who are around you. Take the time the next time you are at the store to see if someone needs help. Maybe one of the elderly needs some help loading the groceries in their car, or maybe you notice someone drop something. Take the second to bend down and grab it for them. Little things really do go a long way, you feel good and they will feel good because you helped.

It’s funny how we all become just so involved with ourselves that we forget how we are all sharing this world together, and we could all benefit from thinking about things that way. So spend the time to spread some kindness, you wont regret it.

I would love to talk with you guys about some of your heroes, maybe you know someone who I don’t and would love to research and get to know that person, mailto:tomorrowwontsuck@gmail.com. As always, have a good tomorrow guys!

The Survivor Effect

The Survivor Effect

If this is your first time with me you can check out my intro Blog, so you can see what Tomorrow Won’t Suck is all about.

I have two favorite reality shows, and I get deeply into to them. One more so than the other, but still its pretty intense. Those two shows are Survivor and Big Brother. Big Brother I would love to be on, and Survivor scares me, so that probably means I should try it to help work through some fears… Anyways getting off track.

On Survivor, they have a group of four who are the self-appointed cool kids AND the self-appointed prettiest people of the island. Here at Tomorrow Won’t Suck, and I going to do my best to leave out any negative language to anyone, even if I feel they deserve it, since that goes against what I want for this Revolution. However, it’s a shame to see that these people have “grown up”, are well past the high school years and are still making comments of how they will not let anyone join their cool kid table.

One of these four people are so pretentious, more so than I have seen on a reality show anywhere. I am not listing any names, because you can go watch the show, at CBS and you will be able to tell. I really do not have to embellish to paint the picture I am trying to paint.

What I am getting at with this article, is that when you are at school, ”cool kids” make life sooooo much more difficult for others. I had more bad times in high school than good. It was kind of an oppressive place for me. Getting out of high school and into college was one of the best moments, because everyone was much more open and understanding. People in high school really want to be cool and fit in, and the “cool kids” are some of the worst. They want to do whatever it takes to fit in… including picking on other people for a laugh or shunning someone because they are different than what they are.

The people who are going to be so vocal about not liking who you are DO NOT matter, in the slightest. You should not let it bother you at all, I wish I could go back and tell myself, it doesn’t matter at all what they think, and I should know I am a good person. Since the people who really spent the time to get to know me, enjoyed having me around, talking to me, and caring about what goes on in your life. Not immature people, who are so concerned with how they are viewed by their “friends” that they have to call you out because of your skin color, sexuality, hairstyle, or clothing.

To be fair, the uncool people out number the cool people. It is something I think the “cool kids” are pretty aware of and they do what they can to make sure they stay where they are on the social ladder. Which is what I love about social experiment shows like Survivor and Big Brother, the mean and cruel never when because of what they have done. The other members of the tribe realized that and they came together to not be pushed around by them. So if you find yourself in a situation where you are being bullied, leave the situation. I wish I had left all the situations I was involved in like that, and just left. Why did I feel like I had to sit there and listen to all the mean things they had to say? It doesn’t make sense but I did. So leave to situation, and if this is at school, let a teacher know, and then go to your friends. You are there to learn and have fun and nobody should take that away from you. So ignore the people who don’t care about you, and listen to the ones who do.
