The thing is its fun to get to know clients but when you have large overhead (i.e. employees, machinery consuming electricity, etc) then time is money. I need to get in jobs on the daily to make it. Getting to know my clients would take too much time away from me.Spoonyluvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14799339780897857281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-57054088364914673592010-10-29T18:35:12.381+01:002010-10-29T18:35:12.381+01:00Not really.

I'm all for doing your own thing and profiting over hard work, as long as it is a fair business where you don't have to step on other person to profit. A friend of mine has a really successful web designing business he opened on his own on tough times and I'm glad he's successful. Many times we end up doing work for people we don't even know and I think it made us drift a little and get desensitized and that meant people taking advantage of one another. Obviously there are bad and lazy people everywhere and I don't think they should be helped out that way. In my opinion we have to work and get our money but also get something back to your community, be it your neighbourhood or city. If you could do it with your work, awesome! In my case I'm a blood donor and also a volunteer for some associations some human related others animal related. That's the community part I was talking about. If you only work for another country to prosper you might end up in a shitty situation, it has to be a win-win.xaltruismxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209322172543938226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-979994846005948742010-10-29T18:07:07.459+01:002010-10-29T18:07:07.459+01:00so in other words communism?

I worked really hard and went through some tough times to get where I am today, the first 4 months of opening my business had me nearly killing myself health wise, a lot of stress, and being broke all the time, and now I am doing fairly well, why should the lazier be rewarded from my hard work.Spoonyluvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14799339780897857281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-36692913946194016872010-10-29T18:04:28.109+01:002010-10-29T18:04:28.109+01:00Thanks for giving me something to think about frie...Thanks for giving me something to think about friend, we all get super wrapped up (ah ha!) in the commercial idea of the holiday that we should just focus on family insteadastro pixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05705624906912440826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-80950307485328026172010-10-29T18:04:10.875+01:002010-10-29T18:04:10.875+01:00HenryG, I get what you're saying as I also kno...HenryG, I get what you're saying as I also know some pretty arrogant vegans, but the truth is those are the ones that aren't going to be around for long, as they jumped in this for the wrong reasons, be it "being trendy", trying to be righteous, etc. <br /><br />I don't push my views on people, I get that a lot of people aren't concerned with these topics, but as a part of evolution we have come to recognize some of our past or current mistakes and just because we can do it doesn't mean it's right or wrong, especially because those are subjective matters. Anyway don't worry because my blog will not be focusing on veganism, but as a part of who I am it might pop-up once in a while.

Obviously not only bad things came from capitalism, but in my point of view it could be better used to help us grow in so many more ways than just growing your income. I think that the good things can and should be used towards a more community oriented economy and not what we are seeing more and more today.xaltruismxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209322172543938226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-61439604484693204152010-10-29T17:44:18.589+01:002010-10-29T17:44:18.589+01:00I really dislike Vegans, they always act like they...I really dislike Vegans, they always act like they're superior to other people just because they think their idea is "right"<br />We're omnivores for a reason, and the reason is NOT so we can deny eating meat just because we think the animals are cute.<br />Nature is cruel and so should we be.HenryGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621814428548585279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-24872195888138027932010-10-29T17:42:49.747+01:002010-10-29T17:42:49.747+01:00Damn, Spoonyluv has a pointDamn, Spoonyluv has a pointLight Weight Baby!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16568795235745048540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700703967251823163.post-43388341911478176232010-10-29T17:35:40.149+01:002010-10-29T17:35:40.149+01:00You talk about consumerism but fail to see the thi...You talk about consumerism but fail to see the this consumerism keeps you having this free blog hosted by a large corporate body for you to speak your mind.
