One Follower!
I finally have one follower. I am so happy. There is nothing on this earth that won't stop me from celebrating. I hope that, that one follower turns into more at a later date in time. Because one turns into two, that turns into three and turns into a party!
The Little Old Lady!
Think about this for a moment if you will....
A little old lady is at the stop light just about ready to cross, you decide that you want to help that little old lady cross. Do you think that she will say "No, I'm waiting for someone better than you to help!" Or do you think that she will accept and let you cross her across the street? Just think about it for a moment. There really isn't much to think about. Because that little old lady will let accept your proposal and let you help her cross the street.
Why would I bring something up like this? Well, it has come to my intention that we are interviewing others for help. When we really shouldn't. Why would I interview my own grandmother to see if she has what it takes to make homemade cookies? I wouldn't do that. She offered me some homemade cookies and I would gladly accept them. Our society is based on what we know and what we can do. But we never let those that offer the help and give them their opportunity to shine.
I know photography (okay, not as much as everyone else, but I do know some) and I notice that in every photo that I take, we are helping each other with the pose that will look great. It's not like I am going out of my way to look for someone to help me figure out what pose is best for that situation. I don't think so. You need to act fast and put into consideration that there is only two of you and you need to do what is best for you and your client.
Help is defined as 1) action given to provide assistance; aid; 2) a person or persons who provide assistance with some task, 3) a person employed to help in the maintenance of a house, and 4) correction of deficits, as by psychological counseling or medication or social support or remedial training. If you look at the first defination we are providing assistance (aid) to the other that has not accepted the help. But the offer is there if the person is looking for the help that they need. Now look at the second definition, there is more than one person that can help. But the help that was offered is being used. It is being countered. The first definition is showing a uncountered assistance that is not being used. Why do you think that we give this type of offer? We give it because we care about the other person.
Now, lets go back to the example that I had given in the first paragraph. That little old is going to take your assistance because she knows that there is something that is willing to help and provide to her the assistance that she wanted. Even if she didn't want it, she took the assistance. Sometimes I think that we take ourselves and our friends and family members for granted. Maybe that is something that we all should look at.

All About Steve
So tonight I watched the movie All About Steve. It took me a while to realize what the movie was really about until the ending of it. I found out that you don't have to change who you are for anyone else, but to stay the same. But if you do decide to change who you are, then you might as well do it for yourself. Don't change just because your friends, family, co-workers, and strangers that you met tell you to, but for yourself.
I realized that I have actually changed myself since the beginning of school. High school for that matter. My peers all wanted me to be like them, and not myself.
In the movie the character Mary Horowitz (played by actress Sandra Bullock) is a cruciverbalist - a crossword puzzle constructor. Her brain spins at warp speed with an endless stream of arcane information. She can come up with the perfect word - and dozens with the same meaning - at a moment's notice, but "normal" behavior eludes her. For Mary, nothing is typical, especially relationships. When she is set up on a blind date with handsome cable-news cameraman Steve, Mary thinks the chemistry is undeniable - that Steve is "the one." Steve, on the other hand, thinks Mary is crazy. Mary, who just knows she's found her soul mate, decides to do anything and go anywhere to be with him. She begins to pursue Steve relentlessly as he crisscrosses the country, covering breaking news stories. Mary's escalating infatuation with Steve is encouraged by the self-serving actions of news reporter Hartman Hughes, who enjoys torturing his insolent cameraman at every opportunity. With Mary never far behind and Hartman urging her on, Steve becomes increasingly unhinged. But when Mary becomes embroiled in the news story of the year, Steve and Hartman begin to see her differently. Hartman is plagued by guilt, knowing his game of one-upmanship with Steve has placed her squarely in harms way, while Steve is feeling his own pangs of remorse at his callous behavior. Despite the media storm surrounding her, Mary with her upbeat, unaffected manner brings together a small community of new friends. And all who encounter Mary will realize that sometimes the ones who don't fit in are the ones who really stand out. (Yahoo! Movies All About Steve (2009))
Basically what it all comes down to, be yourself. Despite doing what everyone else and what everyone says is normal, it doesn't counter dict to what you are. Just be yourself and stand out and prove to yourself that you can do and realize that you are the better person. I know I am.
I am glad to have had this little chat with you!
