Kids Need Famous Parents Not Education

-

Savannah and LeBron James and family.

Rupert Murdoch, the entertainment billionaire that owns the Fox Television Network - among other things - is a good reminder that parents should do like him and say: ‘Lachlan, put these things in the trunk/boot.’

Who is Lachlan? Rupert Murdoch’s son. The father stepped down as Chairman of his media assets this year and gave the baton to Lachlan. Poor parents insist on a college degree, Masters degree and PH.D, with the hope it will elevate their kids to an acceptable status, acceptable because they are not, in their natural self. Most ‘educated’ people die poor in offices with framed certificates on the wall.

Wise fathers like Rupert Murdoch teach their kids the ropes at birth. They say: Son, put these things in the car. Sons grow up knowing that the things daddy puts in the trunk every morning create wealth, the family’s wealth, generational wealth. Justin Trudeau, the famous Canadian Prime Minister probably used to say to Justin: Son, put these things in the car. He did. Today, Justin Trudeau is the current Canadian Prime Minister. What are things sons put in the car?

They could be basketballs e.g. LeBron James and sons.

They could be footballs e.g. Deion Sanders and sons.

They could be briefcases e.g. Donald Trump and sons.

They could be newspapers and copies of the T.V. Guide e.g. Rupert Murdoch and son.

They could be golf irons e.g. Tiger Woods and son.

They could be microphones e.g. Bollywood families like the Kapoors and Bachchans.

Therefore, poor parents must do something dramatic like singing, modelling, taking off their clothes, playing sports and other activities that don’t need education. That way, they accumulate wealth they can pass on to their kids. Will Smith and his wife Jada did not take their kids to school because it is useless. They are doing very well and many doors are wide open for them because of their parents. Money matters, not education.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
