beach money table of contents image
Hello K
And I don't mean successful because of just emotional or family status I mean with money and work and your looks and EVERYTHING, like the typical shallow idea of wha success is....
Can you tell me what your day is like?
Answer
I start my rotations at the hospital monday morning for the emergency department. Get home around 2ish. Take a 2 hour nap. Wake up and go for a run to the beach. Come back, shower, eat and begin my tutoring session, first with my siblings who I have to give an hour and a half to, than some of their friends gotta come by and I gotta tutor them for about another hour an a half. Than I gotta sit down for the next 6 hours and do my own studying. One for my exam the other for the rotation. Than sleep and do this for the next couple months. Sounds like blast right. Somewhere in there I gotta find the time to email and sit on yahoo before I go bat sh*t crazy with having absolutely no life.
In terms of money, I have none, I'm a poor student with debt.
Looks, I'm perfectly content with. Though I don't have the time for having a relationship unless the person is special enough and can abide by my ridiculous busy time table.
Happiness? I'm pretty content, I love my studies and helping people and honestly its fun to teach so I don't really mind it. So maybe on the outside I don't look entirely successful seeing as I don't have a bf or money but really I'm more content than most people so I suppose that in a sense does make me successful.
Depends how you define success though right?

Why don't the Mexican people revolt against their corrupt government?
jeanniemal
They could have a thriving economy. They have natural resources. The government controls everything and takes all the money. Why do they just keep taking it?
Answer
Mexican politicians make our political bums look like candidates for sainthood. Mexico has institutionalized official corruption, corruption that reaches from the top offices, down through the ranks to the cop on the street. The country is rotten to it's core.
Mexico is rich in both natural resources and labor, a combination which under honest leadership should have long ago made it's people more like Canadians than the near-third world country folk most remain today. I mean how do you screw up a country with lots of oil, good weather, fabulous beaches and a population with work ethic that puts arian nations to shame?
Answer: By putting thieves in charge of the country.
Mexican corruption scandals go on and on
In what is seemingly a pattern, Mexican audiences are being repeatedly roused with illustrations of politicians engaged in corrupt activities and caught on videotape. In a progression of recent events, scandals have damaged the well-worn image of political parties in Mexico....The dramatic tape of Mexican Green Party (PVEM) president, Senator Jorge Emilio Gonzalez, negotiating a US$2 million bribe is still in the news.
Study: Mexico's Culture of Corrruption
In Mexico, corruption is perceived by various publics as widespread. Over 70% of respondents claimed that almost everyone or many in government are corrupt (Table 1), and over 85% in Mexico City agreed that corruption is widespread. Within the private sector, 39% of respondents said that businesses like theirs make extra-official payments to influence the content of laws, policies and regulations (8.5% of income is spent on such payments), while 62% said that businesses make extra-official payments to lower level officials (5.1% of income). Even among internal auditors within the federal government, 60% recognized as âfrequentâ the acts of corruption within the areas they supervise. ( Stephen D. Morris..Univ. of South Alabama. Dept of Political Science. )
Mexico's Corrupt Oil Lifeline
Mr. Cantu gave Pemex a decade of his working life. But he will never work there again. He can explain why in one word..."Corruption," he said, gazing at the refinery, 20 miles outside Monterrey in northern Mexico. "People being stepped on, forced to be corrupt â I hated that. There were a lot of things you had to shut up about. The bosses would kill to protect themselves. People were subjugated by fear."
Graft's Toll on Mexico
Corruption and environmental destruction
When a nation's treasury is treated like a pinada by successive administrations it leaves the nation with little to spend on infrastructure, job creation, education, health and the other âstuffâ governments are supposed to provide. As a native Californian I've made many trips to Mexico. And my last trip five years ago I swore that was it. I would never go again. It was just too upsetting.
Upsetting? Yes. Call me strange, but I have a hard time feeling alright about sitting on a lovely beach, being served cold drinks by a waiter and para-sailing, when 100 yards down the beach a poor woman with six kids is doing her laundry in a polluted stream bed running through the front yard of her families rusted, corrugated tin and driftwood shack.
And then there's the Mexico police. Jesus, I'd rather just let a crook rob me blind than call the police in Mexico. Especially if the crook didn't leave me with enough money to bribe the cop so he did not arrest me on some trumped up charge until my family wired them money to pay a âfineâ for a crime that cannot be found in the Mexican penal code.
Fiscal restraint in Mexican politics is defined as knowing just how much they can steal before the country falls completely apart. That's why that at any point in time Mexico is a nation right on the brink.
A nation so abused by it's own leaders inevitably becomes a nation of serfs. When the interests of the many are continually subjugated to the greed of the few, peasantry is always the result.
And so they flee... NOT immigrate, flee. They flee north where they can earn $6 - $10 an hour, rather than $4.50 a day. They flee with the ragged children in tow, for real education, first-world medical care, clean streets and (comparatively) honest officials.
Nothing Washington does about immigration reform will change that until we force Mexico to change how it's governed. We should insist on it.
First understand the real purpose of illegal Mexican immigration to the US -- it provides crooked Mexican politicians and businesses to continue being crooked. The US/Mexican border is a safety valve, providing an outlet for the otherwise hopeless frustrations of the Mexican people which otherwise might spark domestic revolt â and regime change.
That's why Mexican President, Vincente Fox, -- and virtually every other Mexican politician -- become apoplectic whenever Washington talks about real border security. That's why they were so angry with t
