experience,<br> and today my birthday",<br>"body":"<b>Would you read my story to discover how and why I registered to steemit?<\/b>\nbefore telling you the story of a little social experience and how the result of this experience made me todo serious changes in my life and look differently on things in a more positive way,<br> I want to introduce my self\n\nMy name is Mike and today I 31 years old,<br> I can't say I'm a geek or professional software developer\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUHu3uMRwDmYSweyBt7xBJ7X5MFg9ZrUzE3zaTuCJUxFM\/image.png)\n but since I remember my self I was always trying to get my hand on any programming book I could find,<br> the first book that I bought to my self for my 11 birthday was C++ can you imagine this most of the kids will love to get PS or XBOX(in that time we had NES and SNES) for their birthday and I bought my self a book of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/C%2B%2B\">C++<\/a> with the money my parents gave me.\n\nsince then my bookshelf got bigger and bigger,<br> I never took programming as professional work because I loved it too much and over the years I learned that most of the time(not always) when you got paid for something you love with the time your love and passion just become \"WORK\",<br> and you not really having fun from that anymore it's just another daily routine.\n\nnow I understand that it's called LIFE but hey I was young \n\nI always helped people with their projects most of the time for free\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaEKEw35hk2psdRgu3RGcZuL1phtq9K2aifAbhsTqYCW9\/image.png)\n\nI was one of the few people that were believing that if you give,<br> and not only take you will receive something more.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmboYPjDTZQUae2RvtSHFqGFAYQHnruZWbNNrqLzHFxn6s\/image.png)\n\nin my later years I got a job in the hi-tech company for years,<br> not exactly doing programming but still,<br> I was working on technology and products that I really passionate about,<br> and with a time even got promoted,<br> I was driving in a really nice car,<br> well overall good life,<br> and I had a goal(a mission) in my life and I was moving toward this mission and this job was\n A BIG milestone on my way to achieving my mission,<br> I want to do something that going to be part of something big,<br> some software or product don't know yet. but I know that I must leave a big positive mark on this planet as someone.\n\n\nmy friends that had Moving business told me how it's a good business and how they make money and they only need another truck to expand their business in this is why they needed me as a partner,<br> after hearing all the beautiful stories I was convenience.\n\nI quit my job in the HI-tech company and decided to start a business a \"Moving company\" I bought a second a hand truck,<br> paid for the ads,<br> and all other business requirements I put all my life savings and all my money into this.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTZ2K8aGVANZQJ9y94aiaiW3jWSowWz9hhKB1iuo9KmVn\/image.png)\n\nand waited for jobs to arrive,<br> while I was waiting for my \"friends\" to drop me some of the work,<br> we were Business Partners,<br> but I never felt like that,<br> and then:\n\n<b>FINALLY,<br> MY TIME HAS COME<\/b>\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVbvE7k5B4rsaFDZ7GSRAkvCz8i3Lr2mkJHB3eV4tYLBJ\/image.png)\nthey dropped me a small job to move some furniture,<br> I was so excited to do this and on the first drive police officers pull over my truck and gave me a ticket because the truck box is too HIGH,<br> abnormal more specifically by 9.8 inches or 25 CM\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmddjT8Gq4nUTtFtcaMrbANaKhSchdWoHCiWSFy8RHpAwe\/image.png)\n\nand apparently,<br> the vehicle of this type must have working Air-Conditioner,<br> which apparently didn't work long story short the cops took my car off the road,<br> and in order Return truck back I need to pay to install new AC unit,<br> pay a lot of money to engineer to draw and check the truck storage box because it must be lower by 9 inches\nand then pay a lot of money to construct this box from scratch(it cost half the price of the truck).\n\nand I just invested all my money and this was the first day of work I was left with nothing\nMy \"Friends\" or business partners doesn't even want to Participate in paying together even for the ticket,<br> and I not talking about getting the truck back to the road.\n\n\nmy friends just dropped and run away like it's not their business and I stuck with a truck that I can't do anything \nand bills to pay for ads services business cards company shirts flyers and many other things that I paid,<br> and took credit on a visa.\n\nI found my self without a job and with Execution Proceedings that took everything from me \nincluding my rights to hold credit cards,<br> bank account,<br> couldn't even pay my bills I had no bank,<br> and since they disable my credit card,<br> the bills could be paid and as a result more debt more and more \n\nwhat worse I could find a job than willing to pay my salary with a cash since most of the works paying monthly via bank transfer or Check and since I have no bank I can't use a check,<br> only if this is a cash check-> but most workplaces giving only check that you can put into your bank account,<br> like all other normal people!!\n\n and only than withdraw the money.\n\nand an especially me that was a computer tech guy all my life and a programmer that used to work only in high tech\nand a high tech job only pays via bank transfer every month and not dealing with cash or even Check at least where I live.\n\nmy only option is factories or any other work that pays cash or cash check,<br> and I had not many options I worked hard and hated my self for years doing something that it's totally not mine I felt like a ghost and lost,<br> without no purpose and the need to achieve something.\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdsWZnvZknmxSbdsBFcLkPR4yebghmuRRjihNL6CAaT8A\/image.png)\n\nand then someone I barely knew told me his heartbreaking story and that he needs my help(money) and he promised to return everything even with interest I said no need for interest just return everything in time as being naive once again I gave all my last money to someone I barely knew,<br> I think no need to say what happens next yes since then I never saw him and not my money.\n\nand I knew that this was the last money I knew that I really need this but I felt so sorry for him and his story I guess I just believe in people too much.\n\nsince then it's hard to me to find my self in this world,<br> I felt empty because I doing something that I hate and I can't do something that I love because of my situation.\n\nyes,<br> I was involved in some major programming projects,<br> websites,<br> apps,<br> and even helped many people develop their cryptocurrencies at that time no information wasn't available on the internet \"how to create your coin 101\" but I just did it for fun as a hobby and helped people with their code.\n\n for me important is being part of something big.\n\n\n\nbut now no matter how much I passionate about my products and what great idea I've got I'm alone and as you probably understood from the previous paragraph I have no team of people that I can really trust,<br> and \"project alone is a no go\".\n\ntoday is my birthday and I decided to make a little social experience that actually reminds me something that I forgot about a long time ago \n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmedUuoykWFGfq4SzZkNJMYpnxKWrwGXuip7GMvU1dBDez\/image.png)\n\nabout 5 years ago I decided to delete my facebook account because I honestly tired of all the fakes from people when they posting images when they show how a trip to Italy was awesome and how they had super fun and quality time with their family,<br> talking about how it's important to be with your loved one.\n\n<b>when I personly know them and I know how their relationship I hear them all the time fighting and screaming at each other constantly and about stupid stuff,<br> and when they alone always complaining about each other and talking about divorce.<\/b>\n\nand then they post an image of a perfect family with the title\n<b>\"nothing is important than your family,<br> love and be loved\"<\/b>\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmc2SirQLHMj37pFkh8CtzpoDN37DxFKmyeSAEEe5ETjcq\/image.png)\n<b>Arghh seriously 10 minutes ago you just told me how you hate your wife and how the kids piss you off and now this?<\/b>\n\nI just was tired of all of this fake \"friends\" and photos and people that on facebook tagged as your friends\nbut in real life when they pass you by they not even recognize you.\n\n<b>but mostly because <\/b>I seek the lack of real communication when you with your friends and they all pull their smartphones and instead of being with you they stuck checking other posts and posting stupid facebook statuses\n\"having a great time with my friends\" really? you not even looking at me you here but I not feeling like that.\n\nwith that being said since people really more on the social network they do not really know when you have your birthday,<br> only if facebook or other media will send you to notice about a friend coming birthday,<br> I was completely understanding that and this is why for 7 years,<br> one month before I was reminding my friends that I have a birthday.\nand mostly best friends,<br> that know that I don't have a facebook since I was doing this for 7 years this got me thinking.\n\nI decided to see what happen if I do not remind of my self for more than two months and since I have no social account o will they call me to ask how am I,<br> what I doing,<br> do I still alive,<br> and only then do they remember to wish me a happy birthday.\n\nand to my surprise,<br> yes someone called me in the course of two months but it was only to ask to fix their computer.\n\nand today for my birthday till now it almost midnight none of my \"friends\" called me to wish a happy birthday and to ask how am. because \"YOU DON'T HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT\"\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaksKQqMbfvjXRb8c7HfxZKdfn4FgFbGRcWgtXPX9Nwck\/image.png)\n \n<b>WHY I REGISTERED TO STEEMIT<\/b>\nso since today I 31 years old I decided to look at my life in a different way and to do changes because I could live like this anymore I had enough seeing my projects and dreams stolen and broken because I doing them alone,<br> and being surrounded with wrong people,<br> and Bad choices.\n\nI sure I,<br> not the only person who had a similar or slightly different situation in their life,<br> and fell a little \"lost\" in this world.\n\nand as I decided to take my life back in this birthday,<br> and this time make everything right and I want that people will learn from my experience. and together we will make more healthy decision in our life\n\nI could complain and said will this all because of my friends,<br> shitty friends I've got blah blah,<br> \n\nbut this all because of one thing I forgot about the goal and was focusing on the Means,<br> over time my means became my goal.\n\n\"I NEED THIS JOB AND MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS\"\n\n<b>and not<\/b>\n\n\"I NEED THIS JOB TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL\" \n\npaying bills is not a mission is one of your milestones on your way achieving your goal,<br> and not the mission of your life.\n\nI think you could say I was sucked into what called <b>\"LIFE\"<\/b>\n\nthis story is to remind people\n\n<b>always remember why you doing this and focus on the MISSION<\/b>\n<b>and don't confuse means with mission<\/b>\n<b>remeber to make surer you with the right people<\/b>\n<b>get rid of people that not good for you.<\/b>\n\nthere are many right questions that you can ask your self and other that will help you\nto achieve your goals in life\n\nhere is 2 that I think is a must.\nhttps:\/\/steemit.com\/business\/@toresto\/2-right-questions-to-find-the-right-business-partner\n\n\nso first thank you for reading my story,<br> and remember to remind your self- about your dreams and moving towards by any means no matter the situation you in,<br> you will make it.\n\nand everything is possible.\n\n today my 31 birthday but tomorrow is the first day of my life.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"introduceyourself\",<br>\"life\",<br>\"steemit\",<br>\"story\",<br>\"writing\"
