Obama problems, in my views
-
The President of the US Barack Obama is a good man, but in my views he has got a problem with his own people, because he cannot guide them as their leader, since he doesn't talk to them as if he his their patriarch. Since in that position, he could tell them what to do. He talks to them as their brothers and let them do whatever they want. So, he has lost a great opportunity while he was in office.
Another thing that worries me, is that he seems to like the Muslim people instead of their usual friends the Israelite.
 
Obama problems, in my views

Welcome to our post Obama problems, my views
Dear readers, this post and a couple more posts after this, they are not the usual posts that we post, because we feel that we have a few things else important enough to say, we will come back to our usual post after that. Now let me tall you what I want to say.
------------------

Barack Obama, the most potent leader in the world has got a leadership problem.
Dear readers, today I would like to say something about the outgoing US president Barack Obama, as I feel that we had a greater expectation from him, when he took office 8 years ago, we thought then that he would have been able to control the racial issues that exist in America better than any other person, since he would represent those people that felt discriminated from the rest of the main communities, but this did not happen for many reasons, one of the reasons I believe is Obama himself, so, in this article, I am going to write some of my personal views why it did not work. I am writing also what is happening now, and why I don’t agree with it. However, let me first explain why I am writing this article.  
You see, I have written a few articles about the Italian problems lately, since I am an Italian and I felt that I wanted to have my say, having written those problems and the politics part that goes with it. When I watched the world news, I became concerned about the American politics and about what I heard President Barack Obama is doing these days, because I don’t agree with what he is doing now. So, I started thinking that I would write my own views about what is happening over there and how I feel about what Obama is doing now, which I found somehow distressing, he seems a changed man, since they lost the presidential election. I know that what I am doing now is not my business, because I don’t live in America and I am not an American citizen, but so what, when you feel that you have something to say, then it would be better if you say it anyhow.
Now, this is only my opinion, and I don’t claim that I am perfect in this politics matters, but in my personal views, President Obama is doing the unthinkable, because he gets busy to do what would have been better left alone. He could have left everything as it is until the new president and new administration takes over. But he seems to feel personally hurt, because his party didn’t win the last Presidential elections, so, he wants to blame other people for his own failure. He is still thinking that he could win an election again, and perhaps he could, because he is a very good speaker, but that might not be enough to win elections. Because sometimes you need original policies that the people like to win them. Also, to be a president, you should be able to be right with your policies all the time, which is very hard to achieve. So, he should look at what he has done during his time has president, and ask himself, if there was something that he could have done better, which I believe there are a few things that he could have done better.
So, one could ask, what is wrong with him? Is he not aware that he has made some minor mistakes during his term? Yes, he has made some mistakes because he did. I believe that he has never done much during his eight years in office, at least this is how most people will see it in the wide world, but the worst part is that he does not admit that he did something wrong, so, he still believes that what made him win his two-presidential election would still work today, which in my opinion, it is not possible, because things change, and also people like to change to other policies.   
So, one could ask what sort of mistakes were made during his term? To answer that question one should go back to see what Obama beliefs were, and how he would have liked to run the American politics, which he did, but could never fulfil what he wanted to do. One of the reasons why he could not achieve what he wanted to do, it was because he did not put the welfare of all Americans first, he sided with the poor and the American-African people, because he is an American-African himself. Now, I should ask for forgiveness for using the term American-African, but I had to make it clear, because Barack Obama did not try to stop his friends doing nasty things, since he feels that he is one of them.  
In my opinion, no leader should put at risk his own law and order government force, like the police and other institutions created to uphold the law of the country, but Obama did, because he didn’t state to the people that he represented clearly that the police forces were doing their job, and if (they) the people would follow their orders it would have been better, since everything would run in a more peaceful way. But what Obama did was the following, most times he was saying that he sided with the trouble maker people, telling them that he was on their side, and he was calling an investigation. Being the top leader of the most powerful nation on earth, Obama should have known better and should have tried harder to stop what was going on. He should have told the people first to respect the law and be good honest citizen, so that the police had no reason to punish them.
Therefore, this Obama behaviour made things worse, because those people that were robing went on robing and became more violent against the police. One would ask, what sort of leader is that? I believe that no leader should side with anybody. What has happened and is happening in America is proof of that. Therefore, it is a good thing that the entire administration is changing, and they can start all over again in a new direction, with somebody else as President.
Other Obama things I cannot agree with.
Now, we have talked about the American people only, but what about the foreign policies that I cannot agree with. I know that here again it is not my business because it does not affect me directly, but nevertheless I have an opinion, which I would like to share.
One of those foreign policies that I don’t agree with, it is the way Obama administration has done to Israel, after so many years of backing Israel they left Israel on its own, at least this is how I understand the situation, so, let us talk a bit about this.
We should admit that Israel seems doing something that does not agree with their neighbour. But at the same time Israel has the right to exist. So, the Israelite neighbours are even worse than Israel. Because they don’t want to accept that Israel exists and is there to stay. They should ask themselves, where do they think, the world can place a new nation of Israel? I am sure nowhere except where Israel is right now. So, the Arabic people should really understand that they cannot destroy an entire nation just because they don’t like it being there. If they use logic reasoning, which most times they don’t, and if they believe in any God that has created all humanity, it would be obvious that the planet earth is there for everybody to share.
Anyhow Obama did not back up Israel and there could be more problems from this decision. I believe that Obama should have done what America has done most times, and since he is going out soon he should have left out this decision to the new administration, especially because the new administration that is coming soon does not agree with what he has done.  
Today on the news, again some terrorist or deranged person has killed some Israelite soldiers with a truck. Maybe they are getting bolder since America does not back up Israel as they used to, so, this is possible, because they would like to think that Israel disappears altogether. Here I would like to point it out that in that corner of the Middle East, these fighting each other to possess that land, it has gone on since the beginning of the known history of mankind. I could say more if I describe some of the known history that is even written in the Bible, but I will stop here, since here we are talking what the American policies can cause.     
Just one more thing
This is about Barack Obama sending home 35 Russian diplomats, for taking part in some obscure spying on the internet, which in Obama beliefs caused the loss of the presidential election for Hilary Clinton. In my opinion, it would have been more helpful for themselves and America, if the outgoing president Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton forget about it, because this could only make it worse for everybody, what can they gain from this action. Nothing at all, now the elections are lost and they have to wait at least another 4 years, it they play it right. If they start doing silly thing like what they are doing now, by sending home some Russian diplomats, just because they feel hurt, then the 4 years might become 8 years or more. People usually remember these things.
At this very moment, it looks already bad for Obama, because the Russian President Vladimir Putin is not reacting and he is going to wait for the new American President to be sworn in, in the hope that they could fix this damage that Obama is creating. Perhaps Obama is creating this just to make it harder for the new administration.
Here, I want to point out that any good leader should put the nation he is leading first, and not his own personal desires. Anyhow I believe that I have said a few things already, so, I better stop writing about Obama leadership.
I believe that anyone reading this article are going to ask themselves, to which party I would belong, so let me explain. I don’t belong to Donald Trump’s party, because he backs the rich people only, but if he is able to use the rich people to give enough work to the middle class, then I could back him.  I am a bit more inclined to back Obama and Clinton party, if they stop following the poor blindly, and this poor section of the community that are usually greedy, and want to rob other people of their hard-earned things that they own.
In other words, if I was a voting American, I would like the Obama-Clinton party to have a policy that looks more to the hard-working middle class and not just those poor people that are unwilling to work and want to rip anybody off, for any reason at all. You see today most politicians make this mistake, they don’t care much about the hard-working middle class, because they try hard to look after themselves. But the politicians should realize that those are the people that make the nation great, and if the politicians side only with the poor people, then the nation soon or later will become poor. I hope you see my point of view.
That is all folks, I have had my say.
See you next time, which will be about the Australian government pensions.

Breaking away from my farm life

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG, Menfranco general blog. In addition to our own posts about, my life story, and some DIY posts, we are going to publish some world wide public issues that we are writing, about what is happening in the world today and other stuff.
-
Welcome to our blog, Menfranco general blog
and this post, breaking away from my farm life
-

This is just a photo of some soldiers in the army, I have been in the army to serve my country as required when I was young.






Breaking away from my farm life
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, my harsh destiny, so, let us continue from where we left. Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

For about twelve years I lived this farm life; so, the only time that I had a real break from farming was when I was called to go in the army, which in Italy was/is a compulsory service to the country, which every able young male must serve when one turns twenty-one years old or soon after that. Then when the army released me I migrated to Australia, and I was then in my early twenties. I was young and not afraid to do hard work, since I had learned in the farm that we needed to work hard to earn our living.
But let me say just a few words about this service in the Italian army of those times, being in the compulsory Italian army is a hard life for anybody, for a start you are not paid or you are paid so little that you believe that you are not paid at all; and then everybody laments about everything especially about the discipline, as for myself I did not find it very hard like some complain it is, but at the same time it was, because you do what you are told to do, at the same time you learn something new because you are exposed to a different way of living. But the hardest part of it all is that the compulsory army of those times, they didn’t pay us, we only got free food free clothes and just enough money to by some cigarettes if one was a smoker. Anyhow it is good to be in the army and learn a new way of life, it makes you feel better when that is over and done with; some of the old people think that after you have been in the army, you have really become a man of the world, because of that extra experience that you learn in the army.
But, let me go back to tell you about my life in the farm and what it did to me. Because as I have already mentioned before, the farm life of those times was not what one would prescribe for a young man like me, if one wanted me as a young man to develop my potential properly, so that, I could be ready to meet the challenge of life when I would be older, in all sorts of communities not just farming a small farm.
But you see, as we have already mentioned, at the time when all this happened to me, no one could have ever thought of the forth coming changing world, and of the difficulties that I and some of the other boys that shared the same fate as me would have to face in later life. Just because the way of life happened to change so much and so fast, when we were young.
Now, in order to understand how unfair it was for me and for those youths of my time who ended up in the farms like myself, I have to convey to you the different set up of this town of Genzano; the way that people separate each other in classes, not because they like to be different to each other, but because they are different, and therefore they think and talk in different ways, so they group themselves with their equal, because they feel more at ease that way: But in reality they are somehow all equal, as all the groups need each other soon or later.
There are reasons to believe that this way of life would usually happen everywhere else in the world in small towns, where there are two main groups of people in every community: There are those who live directly from the land, which are called the rural community, and those who work in town in all sorts of jobs, which would be called just town’s people and they include; shop keepers, doctors, vets, craftsmen, clerks, schools and school teachers, priests, policemen, (carabinieri which are Italian policemen), guardians, and every other sort of jobs that one can think of, in order to run a town properly; and then all the rest of the population, like whole families and women and children, so that a town would be self-reliant.
Anyhow at a certain stage of my life I started to become aware that I had to break away from this type of farm living, because a lot of things were changing and we didn’t earn enough from the small farm that we had, so it was time for us young that would have been farmers to change also, but let me say a bit more about my farm life views and the town I have come from, so that it would be better for my readers to understand what was going on at those times, in the fifties and there about. After all, those old times will not come back anymore, and it would be good to have at least a sort of record written here, in order to remember how those times were.
So in my next article, let me continue to talk about my farm life views, followed by several other articles about my farm life, and then talk about the town of Genzano and its communities, to explain better how those times were, in the fifties and earlier; not only because I want to tell you my life story, but also because a sort of record is being written and kept, in these internet articles that could be available to the public for a long time in the future. 
Now let me explain here, my farm life views, is going to be postponed, because there are a few things that I would like to write about and they are happening now, so, I will be writing a few posts about these issues and then we will go back to tell you my life story.
So, see you in our next post, Obama problems-my views.
See you soon.

My harsh destiny

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG, IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN POSTS, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLY SOME USEFUL INFORMATION TO OUR READERS, SINCE WE ARE GOING TO WRITE SOME DO IT YOURSELF POSTS.
-
Welcome to our blog, Menfranco general blog
and this post, My harsh destiny
-

In life there might be a thing called destiny, which we might have without knowing it. If there is, then my destiny is a harsh destiny.






My harsh destiny
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, My farm life experience, so, let us continue.Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

As I was saying before, when we are born in a family that event somehow decides also our destiny, because of the way that family lives and have lived perhaps for centuries; but there is more to say about our destiny, because some of us would like to believe that we are born with a destiny to fulfil, and if it is so, then my destiny is not a bright one, because from the beginning of my life I have had a hard life and this has continued during my life, perhaps it will still continue until I die, but anyhow let us go back to my life story in the farm, whether it was my destiny or not.
As I have already mentioned above about my own farm life when I was young, and there I reckon and feel that it was really unfair to my personal self, and to those youths that had to live in the farm as I did, this fact of life I will continue to describe to you at length and in depth as I keep writing on, since the main point that I want to make here is to show you how I had to struggle and to suffer while I was living in the farm, and even later on in the future as we will see, from these articles that I am writing. In fact, for me life was going to be much harder than I thought, since that way of life which I had lived in the farm had left me so far backward, because of that isolation that existed in the farms, I even lacked in local general knowledge about the people of the town, and also in communication skills including all those nice things that a person says and does, which would make that same person attractive to the rest of the community.
Here I have also to say that this early disadvantaged way of life has affected me greatly for the rest of my life, and although I have tried to improve myself during my life, I have never been able to catch up with the rest of the world completely. So that, I feel it within me even now, as if I will never be completely satisfied with myself, because I think that I could have been better off, if I had a different and better way of life when I was young to start with.
But since what’s been done is done, so, one cannot go back and do it in a different way, therefore, I am/was stuck with it. Therefore, I had to put up with my backward way of life; and I had to accept that the only possible way that was left for me to earn a living for the rest of my life, had to be that I had to do hard physical work, which I did in a way or another and this hard work has helped me to overcome some of my drawbacks. From this life experience one could say that we should always try to improve ourselves and work hard for it, even when it is hard for us to find an easy way of life, if we are able to keep this attitude and work hard during our lives, we would be able to overcome many issues that could otherwise run us down completely.
Now let us continue to tell my life story; anyhow, at the time when all this hard and boring life was happening to us, including all those young people which used to live and work in this town’s farms, doing this same work as I did, and I have to say that it all seemed normal to us, because even our forebears before us did that, as they had all lived this same way for centuries before us.
As I was saying also my forbears used to live in this town that I was born, and in which I had to live my youth just like them. But, most of my youth and I mean the most important years of my young life, which is the time when a youth would be better off to stay in a society and learn the ways of that society, and at the same time try to find out the meanings of life, which would help him to learn how to deal with his life in the future in the society that we would be living in; all those years were spent to live in our family farm and not in the town itself, and this did put me in a disadvantaged position from the very start, as I have already mentioned before, all because everything in the world was changing too fast and farming the old way was on the way out.
Anyhow, because of the changes that happen in life, some of us youths that did live this hard life in our family farm, would try to change it, if we could. So, I was one of those youths that did just that. So, I am going to tell you this in my next post, Breaking away from my farm life.
See you soon.

My farm life experience

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG, IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN POSTS, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLY SOME USEFUL INFORMATION TO OUR READERS, SINCE WE ARE GOING TO WRITE SOME DO IT YOURSELF POSTS.

Welcome to our blog Menfranco general blog

My farm life experience
-

In the farms and in the fields people are forced to live a very lonely life, it might be okay for an old man like the one in the photo, but for a very young man it is a very lonely and perhaps even sad if you have to live there most of your life.
-


My farm life
Dear readers, this article is the continuation of our last post, we have our own destiny, being part of an old man story’, where I was continuing to tell you about my real-life story, so, this article is another chapter of my life story and there will be several more to come later on, as we go on writing them and editing them, therefore, let us continue to tell you about my life story.
 As we all know, our lives sometimes are full of many surprises, sometimes those surprises may be good and other times they might not be that good, but we have to live our lives the best way we can whenever and wherever we happen to live at the time when those life events happen. What I have just said has made me think something that has taken place since I was young. So, at this very moment, it has come to my mind some wonderful machines that the farmers’ have today, so I would like to paste here a link about the wheat harvester that would have made life a lot easier at harvest time, if they were available when I was young, I know that our small farm could not have one, because it would cost too much but we could have hired one anyhow.
I hope it works for you to see what I mean. Now we can go back to tell you my life story.
Looking back at my own life at the time when I was young, I believe that there are times in our lives when we might not even know whether the way that we are living our lives is good or bad for us, and we will discover that life value much later in our lives; because what we have been doing during our early lives may well take us to a destiny that we had never thought could happen to us, as we have pointed out in our previous sub-article, perhaps we have our own destiny. Having said that, now let us talk about our lives that we have lived, and let us see what we think today about the life that we have already lived; therefore, let me continue to tell you the story of my life, as I have started telling you in our previous articles of, an old man life story.
So, dear readers, as I have said this hub is a continuation of our first farm life experience of, an old man life story, here we are going to add a few more descriptions about my farm life when I was a kid, or a very young man. I have to say, that from my own point of view, there are reasons to believe that once you have read my farm life story that I am writing here, you are going to agree with me that the way of life that I had, including some of those other youths, who had to live like me during those old times in the farms, it was a way of life that to most of us nowadays may seem archaic, unreal and to say the least unfair, and indeed it was really unfair to myself and to all those youths that ended up in a similar position as myself in their small family farms.
But at the time when this happened it did not seem that bad to us while we were there, because we were so young when we started to work in the farms, so, we didn’t know and everybody else thought that this sort of life had been practised from our forebears for many generations before us, therefore we were not aware then of the adverse influence that it could and would brink to us in the future, as we didn’t know then that we were placed in a disadvantaged situation and even our parents did not see how bad the situation could become to some of us, because they could not see how fast life was going to change, and even if they did guess that things were going to change very rapidly, they didn’t know what else to do, since nobody knew in those times anything else, except that they had to follow the previous generations. So let us talk about this unfair situation that we were in at the farms in those old times.
------------------------------------------------
Farm life unfair situation
Click edit above to add content to this empty
The farm life unfair situation
Now, this situation that I am talking about here was most unfair to us youths, because it affected only us in the farms, but not all the young citizens of this somewhat rich rural town of Genzano di Lucania, because they would be living a better life in town; (Here rich rural town means only Genzano town, by comparison to other rural towns of southern Italy that surround it).
So, as it happened then, we a portion of the young citizen of Genzano became caught in a disadvantaged position including myself, and this position would affect us very badly for the rest of our lives; but we didn’t know then that it was going to be a disadvantaged position for us in the future, and we did not know what else to do either, and there was nothing that could be done either. The few exceptions who were not put at a great disadvantaged position were those youths which their families were rich enough land owners, because it would always be an advantage for them to stay in the farms and learn their future trade and then use their farm knowledge in the future to their advantages, in their own family farms, if they had a large enough farm to run.
But for the rest of us young men who were working in small farms like myself, and did not own enough land to secure a good living in the future, what we were doing then would turn into a disadvantaged position later on, but at the same time we had no other opportunities in life but to continue the old tradition of farming, just because this same tradition of farming had been a way of life to the rural community of this agricultural town for centuries before us, and therefore, when I was young it was thought to be the only way to earn a living, if you happened to own any land at all, so we had to be trained to be farmers in order to look after our own small farm when we would become older, and anyhow, in those times there was not much else that could be done, but this helping in the farm and training to be a farmer for us became a great disadvantage, because of the changes that followed in farming later on. This way of living that I am talking about here would be better understood, if you read this other article that we have written in Hub Pages, Farming today compared to the old way, in this hub we are describing how farming is changed and other ways of life as well.
Anyhow let us go back to my main story, now to be fair here I may have to add that there were also a few other youths that their families were so poor that they were also working in the farm like us by looking after the farm animals and other small tasks, they had no land at all, so they worked in the farm just to be fed and a few other things, or a very small pay, if the farmer could afford that.
Anyhow, nobody could be blamed for putting us youths in such a position, which in the end would result for us in a disadvantaged position: because the very same way of life had served the same community of farming well for centuries, and those people did not feel disadvantaged and were not disadvantaged at all then, just because in those times, people used to accept life the way it was, as long as they had enough food on their table every day and perhaps a few other things, they were happy. But nowadays because of the enormous change of the modern era, which has brought with it also changes in the value of work that any worker does, and for this reason we became greatly disadvantaged. But this is not all, because there are a lot more that can be said, about the way we became and the ways that we were treated from the rest of the town community. At this point of time I want to make this observation, which is that we seem to be born with a sort of destiny, because we are born in certain families, we follow the same path of our family, so let us talk about my own destiny, in our next post, my harsh destiny.
See you soon.

We have our own destiny

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG, IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN POSTS, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLY SOME USEFUL INFORMATION TO OUR READERS, SINCE WE ARE GOING TO WRITE SOME DO IT YOURSELF POSTS.
-
Welcome to our blog, Menfranco general blog
and this post, perhaps we have our own destiny
-

-Our destiny can be anything, sometimes we may be able to write our own destiny, but it is not easy.








Perhaps we have our own destiny
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, my life missed opportunities; where we were about to tell you about our destiny, so, let us continue. Today I have to say that I feel that there might be something we call our destiny, so one might be born to live a certain way of life, or perhaps our destiny is already written in God’s book of our own life and in a way, we are forced to live our lives according to what is written in it, therefore our life is going to be influenced by some life events that are behind your control. Now I don’t know what to believe about what I have just said, but somehow, I believe that there is a sort of destiny for every one of us, but at the same time, I hope that our destiny is not completely fixed and it can be modified to a certain extend if we have the opportunity and continue to try our best, we might be able to improve our destiny.
You see, I believe that if we believe that our destiny is fixed, then there is no way that we could change it, so, it is better if we believe that we can change it somehow. Anyhow, those things that happen in our lives might happen for a reason, so they affect our life one way or another. Therefore, I believe that there is a sort of destiny because of what has happened to me, and perhaps it still continues to happen even today.
Anyhow, dear readers as I have already said, I have come to blame my fate for most of my life short comings and pains. Because I believe that when I was born, I was born with a good chance to live a better life; but it was not to be, that is the reason why I think that perhaps it was my destiny. So my dear readers, if you happen to read my life story, I am sure that you may very well ask. Why is it that I am telling you mostly sad stories? Is it possible that in my whole life, I had so many sad happenings and not any happy ones?
Well, I should say here that I have had a few happy happenings, but if I had to tell you about my happy happenings they would be so few and very boring indeed, and nobody could or would be interested to hear about them anyhow, because they seem to me that they are normal things and not important at all.
So, I would like to talk now most of all, about those happenings that have affected my life in a negative way, one could say that they have made me struggle during my life, as I have already said in my last hub, My life my struggles, this is the link to my life struggles,
My life my struggles
I know dear readers that you might be thinking that it is meaningless to write down all this useless stuff, as nobody might be willing to read it or get any real benefit from it.
But I am thinking that if my writings survive in a hidden corner just for a generation or two, and even if my writings are not well written, as my English writing skills are not the best at the present time. But I believe that in several years when time passes away, then whoever would be reading my life story writings will find them more interesting, because life was so different in the old days, because we used to live in a different way altogether, you see, I have started to live my life long before the great changes of nowadays, so, this difference is what might make this life story interesting to read.
And if what I am writing here is going to be useless anyhow, I will do it just for practice, so that I would be able to improve my English language and also my writing skills. So that, I could feel more confident within my own self, and therefore I would not feel to be in such a hopeless and desperate position; like that time when something happened to me at a certain stage of my life, but at that time I was not able to cope with it properly, and because I wasn’t able to cope that matter in my case became also very painful, because of what I wanted to reach and do but I wasn’t able to, here I am talking about a matter that was and indeed is a very delicate matter of personal nature, so I am not going to disclose anywhere willingly.
But I would like to tell you that my helpless and desperate feelings, which I will write about them later on including what was it that caused me so much distress. But this distress has also made me come to a decision, which is that I have to improve myself in my lacking writing skills. So, now although I am getting old, I will try very hard if I can to improve myself, so that, my improvements may still help me in my later years to reach where I have failed before. You see this is my view about life; when you fail you get up dust yourself and try again harder.
Therefore, by writing my own life story, I will also help myself to improve my English and my communication skills, which after all they are the art of being able to write or to say, the right words at the right time with the right meanings; since saying meaningful and skilful phrases is just like when one writes them down.
So please don’t be annoyed by my life story and allow me to write a few things that I have gone through during my own life. I would like to write them; so that I could show you how hard life was then and how hard life can sometimes be, since this applies particularly to me; because during my life so many things have changed since I was a child; I know of course that things will still keep changing nowadays and in the future, and very likely even faster than before, but now because we know of the oncoming changes we are able to accept them more easily than before, and therefore they will not seem that bad anyhow, because at least we believe that we know where we are going in the near future.

I believe that this article is becoming too long, because today people seem very busy and don’t like very long stories, so I better stop writing this article now. But, an old man life story, IS TO BE CONTINUED: With another hub called, my farm life experience. See you next time, as we have more things to tell you then.

My life missed opportunities

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG, IN ADDITION TO OUR OWN POSTS, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLY SOME USEFUL INFORMATION TO OUR READERS, SINCE WE ARE GOING TO WRITE SOME DO IT YOURSELF POSTS.

Welcome to our blog, menfranco general blog
and this post, my life missed opportunities
-
Everyone of us has his own way of understanding life, so our own life means to us whatever we believe it means to us, sometimes we might think it is great, but at other times we might think that life is not fear to us, but we have to carry on the best way we can anyhow. 









 My life missed opportunities

Dear readers, this is the continuation of my life story, an old man story, so, let us continue. While I am telling my life story and all those life opportunities that I have missed during my life, which sometimes make me a bit sad. At the same time, I would like to continue to tell you my life story, because it makes me remember all the memories and experiences that have shaped my life, so let me tell you my own special life story from the very beginning of my life, where I am going to tell you who I am, where have I been where I am now and how I got here, and here and now while I am writing my own life story in hub pages and blogger. I am writing this story hoping that one day my family and friends might read my story and understand a bit more about me, I know that this might be just a wishful thinking, because families and friends usually don’t read their family stories, as they believe that they know everything about you already.
So as I have said, I have decided to tell you my own life story, because of something that has happened to me recently during my life; you see this something has pushed me to start writing many things including my own life story, so this is also the reason why I am writing now. You see, now that I am in my early sixties, and therefore I am in the later part of my life span. I have to say that although I am an old man, and therefore, experienced with life and with what life can throw at us and sometimes it can be rather bad; one of my latest experience has made me feel so inadequate and frustrated lately, for not being able to reach out and make happen, what I wanted so desperately to happen. And this is one of the reasons, or perhaps the most important reason, why I have started to write my own life story here in blogger and also go public in Hub Pages.
I have to say here also, that to be able to write in Hub Pages and have my own article in a public place to be read from anybody, it makes me feel proud of myself, since in my younger part of my life I have never believed that I would be able to do that, even if I am doing it only in a small way; this makes me feel that I have fought back that feeling of being inadequate and now I feel more confident about myself, just because I am writing my story in blogger and Hub Pages, but let us go back to my life story.
Anyhow, I have also to say that I have felt so many other times that feeling of being inadequate during my life, which I believe that it has been all because; I was put in a disadvantaged position when I was young, and for that reason, I was not able to better myself to a satisfactory standard at that time, which otherwise I would have been able to achieve if I had the chance; so, these are my laments in this life story and these laments I am telling you here-under, even though sometimes I wish that I had happier things to tell you.
For these lost chances I can’t blame anybody, and I can’t even blame my mother for putting me in such disadvantaged position, when I was very young, because she was forced from disastrous and tragic events beyond her control. So, I have come to the conclusion that I can only blame Fate, because it struck a terrible blow to our family when I was very young.
Therefore, if in my younger years I had been in a position to go to high school at least for a few more years, or perhaps as long as my capacity to learn was used to the maximum; Then I could have learned whatever they teach at school, and at the same time as I would have been in a more social environment, I would have been able to improve my social and communication skills while I were at school, those skills which are so important to communicate well with the rest of the community.
Therefore, if I had acquired those social skills when I was young, I would have been accepted better socially, and I would have felt happier with myself, instead of feeling sometimes left out from the mainstream, and feeling concerned and isolated.
You see; if I would have had a chance to learn more at high school, then I would have learned more at the time when I was young, and from that extra education I could have been more successful later on in my life, because I could have used my acquired knowledge wisely, and those social skills which I never had the chance to learn then, because if I had, I could have achieved better things and ripped more and better rewards from within this society that we are living in today, which seems to me that it is more and more demanding about these social aspect.
This is one of those things that has made me feel sometimes inadequate, and it has followed me most of my life. You see, those social skills that I have been talking about must be learned when one is young, while frequenting high school and mixing with society around yourself, so that these social skills would become part of oneself and therefore one can use them to their own advantage all their lifelong. For me it was not like that at all and most of those skills that we require in life I had to learn bit by bit the hard way, the best way I could later in life.
Anyhow, about this issue of feeling inadequate is going to be written in one of our articles called, Hello my world, where I am going to sound like a rebel and break out of this life drawback in a drastic way, where I will try to change my own way of thinking; but now let us continue to follow our own ways, and our own destiny the way that we have always done.
We will write about our own destiny, in our next post, see you soon.
