People.
People are what make this world turn.
Life has been good to sing and to laugh for the majority of today's generation. People go to the bar to have a few drinks. Well, those few, for some, turn into more than a few, but that is why they went in the first place; to have fun, drink something they have never tried before and laugh to keep the days troubles from following them home.
Some people drink as a get away, but can never find the comfort in any sip, gulp or pitcher left empty. They just sit, watch and hope that the next drink will bring comfort, but they never think.
My favorite part about people is that they think and speak their mind...
That statement in itself is just a dog wagging its tail. People telling the truth and thinking before they speak? No, people do not like to tell the truth. They don't even think before they speak. Some just think compliments are made just to make compliments. Other people make compliments to one another and people turn these compliments into an insult as if their neighbor's dog had just crapped on their front porch. Or the person that received the compliment thinks that maybe the complimenter wants something in return. The complimenter just wanted to make a compliment. The complimenter is just like the manager that puts his employees in a situation to see if he/she can handle what was just thrown at them. Most employees just curl up and cry; they run away because they are afraid that life might change or ruin what they have on their own. Others think, "this might just make life a little better". They embrace the challenge and life ironically turns out better.
A friend of mine, for most of his life, did what girls liked. He would take them out on dates, and hold back a little to make sure everything went smooth. His thought was that the girl could hear his secrets, his dreams and what he was looking for later. Most people do not think, "I will tell the truth", and in turn they lose the opportunity for success. Soon the situation turns into a hurricane as if the man had just walked out of the eye of the storm. The trees blow hard to the point the "fun tree" just blows right over; pulling the roots right up from the ground. All that work kicked from under him just because he didn't think from square one. He then decided "forget all the rules that people have made up". He is now married because he actually found someone that heard everything from point one. He embraced the challenge and spoke his mind.
Men know when a woman is afraid because they are...
People too.

Invest or Wine test...
There once was a man that was full of confidence. He never had a doubt, well maybe one, but he always knew what was going on and if he could conceive it and believe it then the mind could achieve it.
Without giving this much thought he knows like everyman does that girls like attention. Without feeling excitement for being around the man she will develop boredom. She will not want to see him again because the wonderful attention is gone.
This gentleman liked the fact that a certain girl wanted attention. He didn't really care how he looked trying to win her over, but his attraction to her was strong. Maybe people do not understand what I am trying to say, but he still doesn't mind looking dumb trying to gain her trust; he has become vulnerable to win her over. He wasn't and still is not going to beat around the bush or play the game a different way, but he is going to make an investment.
Here is were we think, without thinking...
Girls and Guys are in the similar realm of living. Half the time, for a guy, the girl doesn't even call him back. He makes the statement along the lines, "there is no way she wants to hang out", but just when that happens he receives a message "hold on tight because soon we will be flying". He tries hard not to give in and call before the time is right because like all fairy tales this happens; the man always rushes in right away to make the call, but this man decides to not call because "soon we will be talking" is ringing in his head. He still walks into the arena with his head tall looking to gain an edge on the situation; he takes a risk, a chance at hanging in there.
These risks are similar to the stock market. Investing money and time into a particular company. Neglecting all other inquires to get something exciting, adventurous and hopefully will hold onto the owner of the bid. Sometimes though the investment decides to take a fall. Everyone is saying "hold on tight", but maybe he is not investing in the right stock. Do NOT buy more crappy stock little man in something that is not going to give more money back. Buying into a bad investment for this man just puts him in a losing situation that is not good.
This young man will "Seize the Opportunity" by not giving into the lack of investment. He tries and tries, but this time he gets up, dusts himself off, and walks out the door in hopes of buying something more. That is what everyone think, "[he] walks out the door", but instead of walking out the door, he tries to get back on the bull even if the bear is tearing him down.
He says to himself do not give in, never, but do not invest a third time into someone or some stock that is sucking the life out.
Maybe this wasn't clear enough...
Imagine a thing of wine, a whole barrel of wine for that matter and the girl takes a sip. Boy does that taste good, she says to herself "that was some good wine", but she forgets how good that wine really was. She leaves for a long time not even thinking about taking another drink. The wine doesn't know how good it is, but knows the labor put into squeezing the juices out of the grapes, alcohol, and all other ingredients placed in for the making. There is a lot of effort put into making a good wine. Forget the conversation because leaving the barrel open, the wine exposed, to let the girl drink some more without knowing when she will be back is going to waste, spoil or just let rats, cats and some other rodent try some of this 1984 bottle.
The girl will forget what wine she tried, and will not want to work to find the right barrel, open the barrel and drink some wine. She might have to go through a bunch of barrels to find what she needs, and if that is too much work then it was worth closing the barrel to let preserve what is left . This closing of the barrel needs to happen because without doing so will spoil the freshness, the taste, the smooth comfort that she will want to wrap her arms around. He must take the risk, but he will not invest into throwing something good away. If he wants to throw money away he will do so by no putting his heart into the arena, but this man will keep the heart fresh, and bring what is right into the arena to fight the battle.
He might have confidence that something is better out there, but without confidence what would he be?
A Loser.
