People of different walks of life have different lifestyle, depending upon how they are brought up by their parents. Human development depends on child growth and development from womb to tomb. Child development is also dependent upon parental status, rich and poor differ. A child born to a rich family is surely equipped with all the luxuries in life while that of a poor family is deprived.
In my own point of view, if I try to look up myself from the way I was brought up by my parents, I could say that my lifestyle differ so greatly from those of the well off, from the time I was conceived 'till today. Tracing the time when I was a preschooler 'till I reached grade school. I considered myself an introvert because I was ashamed to mingle with people especially the well off because there is a feeling of humiliation deep within me. I was enrolled to a public school while my neighbors were studying in the private school. I also had that desire of going to a private school but due to financial problems I wasn't able to make it. But in spite of the fact that I was deprived of some of the luxuries that well off children enjoy, because of that inner feeling deep with in me to reach the goal of success, I worked hard and studied hard and with God's help I was a consistent honor student and gradually overcome my fear of facing people and finally was able to develop my personality.
As I proceed to high school I then was able to enroll in a private school being a scholar. And here my upbringing was completely changed because I had to expose myself publicly as a choir member, dance troupe member, English club and dramatic guild. My constant exposure made me stronger and able to overcome all my fears and worries, that rich and poor are alike in many ways for as long as you have that desire of achieving your goal.
At this point in time I now can consider myself successful in my undertakings although I am only almost halfway of my career because I had chosen the right man in my life, a professional, family loving, thoughtful, considerate and above all I have two children who are my inspiration in my undertakings and I account this success to my faith in God, my family's help,my determination and hard work as my key to success.
As of now I look forward that in God's time I shall be able to fulfill my dreams in life.

The Brick
Web browsing again? Sorry, but I just need to, to keep myself busy and erase my boredom. If I don't, I'd die of melancholy....ha....ha...ha... Now I'd like to share to you what I have read today. Try to read this I'm sure you will appreciate the lessons you will get from the story.
A young and very successful executive named Josh was traveling near a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his sleek, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child darted out, but a brick sailed out and- WHUMP!- it smashed into the Jag's shiny black side door- SCREECH...!!!- brakes slammed! Gears ground into reverse and tires madly spun the Jaguar back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. Josh jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about, and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"
"Please, mister please...I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!" pleaded the youngster. I threw the brick because no one else would stop! Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and his too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the young executive tried desperately to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shining, 12-cylinder Jaguar XKE- a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention... Some bricks are softer than others. Feel for the bricks of life coming at to you. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has positive answers.

The Gift
I have read this story from tucmuc's site and I want to share this story to you in case you haven't read this yet as I find this very interesting and inspiring. I hope you will like it too.
A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom , and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study.His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son and told him how much he loved him. He handed to his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely leather-bound Bible.
Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house leaving the holy book.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.
He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he receive a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.
He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words....PAID IN FULL
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
