Man is born to achieve an individual assignment of greatness. The start might be challenging but many people have proven it does not determine the later end if the right mindset is working.
In fact, difficulties can often be the driving force to achieving high goals unlike people raised by comfort. At the end of a lifetime reflection of understanding can be honestly put on to it.
Prince Harry, to Duke of Essex, UK is officially launching his 500-page Memoirs on 10.01.2023 yet some content has already hit the public domain. Like many before him, Boris Becker, etc. have young men with little or limited experience in life as a whole and long-term process cashed in on the trend of entertainment by writing early memoirs and subsequently interviews to market their products of life.
The good old age seems to be gone old people before descending to heaven to rest give testimony and overview of their lives.
These days life is seen as entertainment rather than a road to achievement. Reality shows like “Die Geissens” in Germany in which a Millionaire exposes weekly the life of his family and how best to spend money on luxury items empty of any lecturing how he had achieved his fortune and how others might be able to follow him.
Or “Hartz aber herzlich” in which people on social benefit share their daily life with a wide audience. “Die Reimann’s” a Hamburg family that had migrated to the USA.
While the audience wastes more than 30 minutes watching others and gets no insight into how to improve their lives or the life of others the TV stations and actors are cashing in on them.
Travelling on public transport people can be observed in their numbers playing useless games on their smartphones while I think of the future and observe people to learn from them. Entertainment that is joyful while at the same time improving the life of the people with wisdom and revelations is what we all need and deserve.
This well-established trend gives the impression most people have lost touch with their inner selves and their given mandate. Instead, they look to the outside world to fill their inner emptiness.
They seem to need reassurance from others that the decision not to go the extra mile and listen to their particular goal is socially widely accepted. They live a second-hand life, not the original.
The industry around second-hand life is increasingly powerful and sneaks into many more simple minds to the extent that bad boys like Rappers and prominent convicts sentenced to prison e.g. tax aviation, arm robberies, drug offences, human trafficking, cybercrime leave prison, and write a book about their experiences in prison to cash in.
It gives the impression that only life at the edge of the extreme seems to interest people, not a life well lived and shared with them at the end of it.
In most cases, it is a reflection of most education systems. Instead of learning what matters in life pupils are forced to learn about what they later in life never need. When UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunack demands pupils until the age of 18 should learn Maths instead of how to generate business ideas, set up a company, find their destiny, and communication skills in business, private and public life among others, and leave Maths of higher degree to the pupils that later need this in life rather than for all.
From age eight it was clear to me that Politics and writing are my strength and interest, never Physics, Maths, Chemistry, or Biology. Yet I was forced by the German education system to waste precious time in my life and learn things I later in life never need nor did they help me to understand life better.
On one side we seem to be a world society of increasing numbers of Experts in various fields but not Experts to improve our own lives and reach our destinies.
