The Pursuit of YOUR Happiness By Mel


Will Smith played Chris Gardner; a struggling father who was in a slow down market to sell portable bone-density scanners began to feel the effect of income inequality.  At the early stage of his marriage both him and his wife worked hard for a living but their wages were stagnated.  This cause a rift in their marriage as his wife felt that she was taking on too much financial responsibility and therefore she left him and their son.   However, Chris had a gift; he was always good at Math which prompted him to try out for a position as an intern stockbroker.  Unfortunately, this was an unpaid intern and he had to compete with 20 others to get this position.  What I admire about Chris is that he was a single father who did not receive any handouts from the government or assistance from his friends.   His struggle became his strength which helped him to accomplish his position in the financial world today.  A man in this position should not be going through circumstances such as the IRS garnishing unpaid income taxes or becoming homeless with his son which occurs to so many others in this country.   Thank goodness Chris did not sell drugs to get back on his feet because in his case some people in the urban city hustle because there are not enough financial options to choose from.  For example, two of the biggest employers in the urban city are Walmart and McDonald’s which should be paying their employees MORE.  Chris is a great example on how you can pursue your happiness through hard work and live comfortably based on something you love to do.

Date Smarter, not Harder By: Mel

Way too many guys pay attention to women based on THEIR attraction level. They will waste their time and hard earned money on a woman who is not attracted to them at all. It's always a better experience to go out with someone who's just as excited and enthusiastic to be with you compared to someone who you have to warm up. You should want to spend time with women who appreciate and value your time. Always pay attention to her action, not what she says. Date smarter, not harder.

Don't Thirst Your Way Into The Rejected Pile By Mel

Men, you have the power to change.  Your standard of living and philosophical mindset based on thirsty behavior is not setting a good example.  Classy women will throw you automatically into the rejected pile if they sense this way of thinking.  What concerns me the most is how brothers market themselves onto the dating scene and the assumption they make when they speak to a beautiful woman.  Money flashers believe it is a walk in the park that they can get any woman they want.  Most thirsty men try to impress women with their financial assets.  They believe this technique will force a woman to throw herself at their feet. When fantasy becomes reality or they get rejected they proclaim that a woman is stuck up which is far from the truth.  To be honest, no sophisticated female wants to be whistle, bark at or grab in an awkward way from a stranger and I do not blame them.  I have a daughter, and I expect men to treat my little princess as a human being when she gets older, not an o

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

  Life is full surprises.   When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you.   That oil to your engine is confidence .   Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life.   That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why.   The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura.   It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you.   We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory.   For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo.   Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share something with you.   To succeed in life you must fa
