 Introduction

A change is needed in the perspective taken by ESL institutions and

instructors. Due to a shift in all aspect of humanity, economic, social,
educational, and technological, it has been near impossible to detect
problems and their much-needed solution as they relate to each other
in the human experience.

Courage shines bright and fierce, heavy to bear is the bright ray of life.
Temperance (is) unbreakable, hardened by pressure and time, becomes,
invaluable.
Wisdom must come from deep within; from profound excavating of courage and
temperance, springs the roaring crash between the molting and the infinite
stillness.
There is no “key” to success. It isn’t a door or a vault to be opened. No direct
access or one step and you are in. Instant in acquisition is nonexistent, so it’s
necessary to adopt a different perception of success. Let’s take a jewel for
example: it has value so you can exchange it for money, but its function is really
to express financial stability. In itself the piece of jewelry doesn’t bring about the
stability rather it is a product of it. Likewise, there is no direct access to success
rather it is a product of stability.
When someone is able to perceive success, the same phenomenon occurs as
when one sees a fine piece of jewelry. Normally, an admiration for the value of
the stones and craftsmanship happens but what’s easily forgotten is the value of
the system that made such a unique piece of jewelry possible to conceive,
produce and admire: a consecutive series of corelated and expanding success.

(Just to clarify this is not promoting or adhering to any economic model, it’s only
an observation of the relation between what is perceived or seen, and what is
required to achieve it.)
The same connection can be made between experiencing success and achieving
it. It begins with a deconstruction of its definition and rebuilding a system of ideas
upon which one may rest the fruits of their labor, not merely to be admired in
itself (for its own sake) but to be a testament of the blood, sweat and tears paid
(at the gates of Hades itself).

I. Foundation All things must come from something.

It is necessary to have a certain base, before beginning any kind of
independent endeavor or project. A popular trend arose recently where
the finality of the endeavor was solely to be independent, whereas this
(it’s) independence, it’s arrival itself depends on its reason to exist and the
legitimacy to be found within its common utility. In other words, the
following set of ideas are united in order to promote independent free-
thinking oriented towards common utility for humanity. (Minimum
Requirements)

(Minimum Requirements…)
Knowledge base/beginning project finality/independence
support system reason to exist legitimacy/common utility
discipline set of ideas  united  free thinking
synthesis orientationcommon utility for humanity

(To acquire…)
Investment income from knowledge proof of conceptself-
sustainability
Healthy environment integrated functional workspacegoal-oriented
acquaintance
sacrifice leisure activity  lifestyle  long term investment/return

II. Framework Fuel to the fire.
If a foundation is set up correctly, the product should be a single (really
really good) idea, per say. It’s actually a collection of ideas but we’re
getting ahead of ourselves. This idea, in theory should be self-sustainable,
so it’s meant to help someone make a living off of it. Again, if done
correctly, a side effect is a framework with which to begin working, and
will keep you steady along the way by means of self-motivation fueled by
talent. (What you’re working with)

(What you’re working with…)

Talent (already developed) foundation  set up correctly product
single good idea collection of ideasself-sustainable
High motivation (in development) should be/meant to behelps
make a living if done correctly (milestones/markers) side effects
(markers 2)framework (milestones)
Synthesis begin working  keeping (you) steady  by means of…
self-motivation fueled by talent

III. Concrete resilient will of stone.
Highly motivated work of talented people will equate to a higher work
load and fatigue. By this time (stage in the game) it’s vital to have
developed a personal value and nutritional system. That will be left as is
for now. (To keep you going)

(To keep you going…)

Nutrition (Physical Resilience) highly motivated workload talented
people equate higher workload/fatigue
Value System (Mental Resilience) by this time  vital  to have
developed
synthesis personal Value systemsNutritional systems

*Before you go any further* **be sure this is what you want**
***reading list/lessons from my father***

lessons from my father

☼ Don’t let your addictions get the better of you; everyone has them.
☼ Work for yourself; everything else is a waste of time.
☼ Throw away your T.V.; it will waste away your life, like water through
your fingers.
☼ Passion: go after what you love; be it a dream or a woman, neglect
and rejection is a must.
☼ Express yourself: before it’s too late.
☼ Love yourself before anything else; in the end, the very end, the only
pillar you will have to lean on is the one cultivated through making
yourself, your best friend.
☼ Read: it’s an escape from the prison we call our minds; ignorance will
be the death of us.
☼ Don’t take shit from anyone, so be ready to defend yourself and
what you believe in.
☼ Routine is godliness.
☼ If you have the fortune of having children remember: they, are your
treasure and lessons that will save you from yourself. Maybe even
allow you to self-redeem.
☼ Tell the people you love that you love them as often as possible; you
don’t know when your time will be up.
☼ Know thy neighbor; to cultivate and maintain relationships is the only
way to move forward. In the end, you will die alone. Make the best
of your time between birth and death.
☼ Know and do what you love; this will teach you the meaning of life. If
you don’t, you will fear death and not embrace.

Page 5 of 10
 ☼ Eat right; feel right.
☼ Make jokes.
☼ Smile.
☼ Share.
☼ Wake up early.
☼ Learn from your mistakes (and if possible, from those of others).
☼ Do not discriminate; it’s only yourself you can come to hate; yourself
which you do not yet understand.
☼ Dress to impress
☼ Forget your past (do not focus on grudges); lest you become a victim
of it.
☼ Hard work is good but not everything. Take it easy until you know the
next step to take.
☼ Don’t drink (as a habit).
☼ There will be things you have to resolve on your own.
☼ Don’t be afraid to be alone; there will come a time when it will be
necessary; it will not be permanent.
☼ Remember God; but no only on your death bed; abandonment is
mutual.
☼ Find a woman that loves you for who you are; do this for your
children.
☼ You are not your brother’s keeper; Care for your siblings as much as
they care for themselves.

In the end, we will see each other again. In the meantime, be that which you
never had. Life only dines with death. Appreciate them both, if you’re to live to
your fullest. Your purpose, is as big as you make it. Don’t regret anything, but
also, don’t be afraid to make amends. That will be the noose you hang yourself
with (if you don’t). A slow death it will be in life.

P.S. Remember, the simple things are what you will derive the most pleasure
from.

IV. Collateral Damage
can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
One way to see the world is as a duality. The world as it is vs. the world as
it could be. That being said, honesty goes a long way in regards to
maneuvering withing situations. There’s a lot to take into account and if
not cautious, an overwhelming feeling of despair and inability to act may
occur. But making it thus far is a sign in itself of advanced progress.
(Things to watch out for)

(The world as we know it)

Discrimination maneuveringwithin situations
Manipulation to take (1)into account (2)
Corruption (being)not cautious  overwhelming feeling of despair

(Hidden in plain sight)

Scams /Scam Artist inabilityto act
 may occur
Toxic Environment making it thus far

(The world within)

Self-doubt one wayto seethe world
Inactive Progress duality the world as it is  … as it could be
Distraction honestygoes a long way

 V. Tools of the Trade
Sun. Water. Diamond.
The spirits of truth (temperance), meaning (courage) and love (wisdom).
By this phase of the journey there are certain principles that are important,
although difficult to have developed. Without them the smallest detail could
mean a downfall. (don’t leave home without them)
(Looking beyond the here and now; the spirt of truth)
Temperance base/beginning project finality/independence
(Looking within; the spirt of meaning)
Courage reason to exist legitimacy/common utility
(Seeing something within everything; the spirt of love)
Wisdom set of ideas  united  free thinking

VI. Maintenance when it hits you…
The final realization is hard to put into words. You know you’re there
when you get there and you’ll have realized, you’d been there for a while.
There’s a moment, within the chaos where you’re just a little ahead of
schedule; just enough time to stop, and reflect. When it hits you: you’re
exactly where you want to be (where you think you should be) (90% of life
is…watching the grass grow)

(Are we there yet?)

Checklist final reflections/realization hard to put in wordsyou’ll have
realized
(Can we stay a little longer?)
Stability you know you’re there when you get there you’ve been
there for a while
(I don’t want to leave…)
Research and Development within the Chaos  just a little ahead of
schedule  enough time to stop
synthesis reflectwhen it hits you.. you’re where you want to be
