Putting Food on the Table

This should be ingrained in your brain as deep as your neutrons can possibly go, because in this day and age — in this little world floating around the big universe — you absolutely have to remember this as a crucial part of your life….

Be proud.

What does that mean? Just be happy? No, not necessarily. It simply means that you need to be proud of what you have, what you do, what you will do. If you’re a lower-class citizen and you bust your butt 10-12 hours a day working at a factory or clothing store or even a fast food restaurant, know that in order for you to survive, you have to be proud.

You’re putting food on the table. You’re doing with what you’re able. There’s no shame in it. Even if you’re a single mother working in a strip joint, no one — not one single person — can judge you. You’re taking care of your kids the only way you know how at the moment.

You don’t need to make a million. All you need to do is be thankful that you’re working. So many are either not thankful (because they despise their jobs) or aren’t working at all! Don’t be any of those people. Sure, you may not get a lot of the nice things out there — a nice house, a nice car, weekend trips, maybe even a cool smartphone. But it doesn’t matter….

Your family does. You do. Lower class still means you have ‘class.’ So…. Never be ashamed.
