I met Nick Vujicic at the Anaheim Film Festival back in 2010, he starred in a short film titled "The Butterfly Circus," it is a great short film, and Nick is awesome. Nick was born with no arms, and no legs, but Nick still believes in God, and Nick lives a good, full life, and he is happy.

I see all kinds of advertisements for people who want to teach you how to flip houses, they have seminars, and all kinds of stuff. And I know people who are successful at flipping houses. But, you do not have to start at the top like that, you can start lower and you can work your way up. You can start out flipping burgers, and then you can work your way up to flipping houses.

You can start out flipping burgers, at Carl's Jr, for instance, and learn all that there is to learn about running a fast food restaurant, and then open your own Carl's Jr restaurant. Then buy another, you can have five Carl's Jr restaurants, or whatever, and save and invest. Then, if you want to flip houses, you are ready, and you can buy and sell houses if you want. It does not have to be Carl's Jr, you can do tacos, or whatever, hot dogs, pizza, whatever.

You do not need to start at the top, you can start small, and then work your way up.

I met a guy who got a film made by Steven Spielberg, and he invested all of his money in McDonald's fast food restaurants, and he hired his family members to work at his McDonald's restaurants. The film was "Amistad" and the guy opened his McDonald's fast food restaurants in South Africa, and he hired his family members to work at his McDonald's. I met the guy at a party when I was attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

I will post this again for anyone who missed it when I posted it previously...

We must always come from a place of abundance.

In leadership training they told me to always come from a place of abundance, as opposed to scarcity. We can easily grow enough food to feed everyone on earth if we come from a place of abundance, as opposed to letting them starve as we come from a place of scarcity. And sometimes the way to improve things is to think big, even when times are hard and we are tempted to say that we cannot because of poverty. We can live in a world of abundance, and unlimited opportunity, or we can live in a world of scarcity where it just continues to get worse. And with leaders, say for a company, they want people who will make the company grow and prosper, not people who will keep downsizing it until it does not exist anymore. People want leaders who improve things, not make things worse.

With the bad economy, and with the giant debt of the United States, it would be so easy for everyone to downsize everything out of existence, which would only make things worse, at a time when we need to do the opposite and grow and prosper and improve things instead. A great depression is as much a state of mind as it is a reality, we cannot fall into that state of mind and we must avoid that reality.

We must come from a world of abundance and unlimited opportunity, and grow and prosper, and improve things, we must be creative in good ways and we must think big, and every problem creates an opportunity for people to solve the problems, and where there is room for improvement there is opportunity for people to improve things, etc etc etc.

I read that fewer people are willing to get student loans because they are afraid they will not be able to pay them off, and they are afraid to accrue the debt for an education, and that is totally the wrong way for them to be thinking right now, and at this time the USA needs to have a better educated and better trained population, and there will be plenty of opportunity for good educated people to solve problems and improve things after they receive an education. In my opinion the people of the United States need to enter college at higher numbers, not lower. Things are not going to get better if we have a lesser educated population, that is going in the wrong direction, we need a higher educated population instead. So we need to get them thinking from a place of abundance, so that we can achieve abundance, and a better economy and a better world.

And the whole thing with the debt of the United States could be solved if we come from a place of abundance. Much of the land of the United States is government owned land, we are talking abundance, and that land could be sold to private people, and that alone would pay off much of the government debt. The government can also make money with gas and oil leases at a time when gas and oil are at all time high prices, and drilling for natural gas and oil in the USA would be a good thing for many reasons. And that would help reduce the debt. Also, gold is at an all time high price right now, and there is gold on much of the government owned land, along with other precious metals. And that would help reduce the debt. If we come from a place of abundance then we can reduce the debt easily. Then, we monitor the spending of the government better in the future so that we can pass down surpluses to future generations instead of deficits.

Tony V.

There are a lot of damaged people in the world. And we have some mentally ill people in our White House. 

We need more love and kindness in the world, and we need to come from a place of abundance. And the good people must stand up against evil.

Matthew 25:31-46 King James Version (KJV)

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

The city of Anaheim has had some cool job openings. One job was being a community representative, helping the city of Anaheim to better help our community, and to better help the homeless, and to help our city better serve us. And another job was shooting videos and stuff to promote a vision of Anaheim as being an exciting city, and which has new aspects and is constantly improving.

I would do that kind of stuff for free, as a citizen. In the USA it is our job, as we the people, to be a part of our community, and to lead our nation, the government is there to serve us. And also we can be involved with our governments. I write emails to help our city, state, and country, etc, I do posts on the web, I do all kinds of stuff, and I do it for free, and it would be kind of cool to get paid for stuff that I already do.

And one thing too, I helped a friend who ran for Mayor, and if she won she was going to let me produce a charity concert at Angel Stadium to help CASA and the foster children of Orange County. I was going to do it all for free, to help the children.

I am totally willing to do stuff to help my city. I doubt I will end up working at Anaheim City Hall, but if I do I already have suits.

And as an actor and producer, I can do stuff to help people even more. I can also help to bring more entertainment industry jobs to Anaheim.

I would be perfect right now to play a disciple of Jesus in a Bible movie, or an angel, or for a Western, or for French royalty, etc. I would also be a great vampire.

I could play a lot of fun roles as an actor.

We have a twenty four hour, around the clock, taco place down the street here in Anaheim, and it is great. They serve food based on recipes from the Guadalajara region of Mexico. 

Link...

http://www.taqueriasguadalajara.com/

It is the kind of place where you can go get a carne asada burrito at two in the morning, or a nice shrimp cocktail, and their tacos are as authentic as you can get, they have great food.

And they need to open up a few global locations, such as opening a location in Monte Carlo, and also in Rome, and Cannes, many areas would love to have 24 hour a day authentic Mexican tacos.

Here is an episode on You Tube of The Loretta Young Show, this episode is called "Nobody's Boy," and it is about a club for boys who do not have anyone and so they help each other.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gugf4Su6mTk

I was thinking about writing a movie about a club for orphans, where they all help each other.

I met one foster youth who came out of the system without getting adopted, and the poor kid was 18 with a pregnant girlfriend, they lived in an old camper, and he was unemployed, and the poor kid did not even know who Abraham Lincoln was. His big break came when one of his friends from the system got a job managing a movie theater, and his friend hired him to work there. It was good that his friend helped him. There needs to be a club of boys helping each other.

We need to keep all of the forums, we do not need to reduce the number of forums.

If you do not like all of the threads, then stay off of the threads that you do not want, but leave the threads there for the people who do want the threads.

And Escape From Elba is great for people in nursing homes, and in hospitals, etc, as well as for students, etc, the more threads the better, we need to keep all of the threads.

Please do not reduce the number of forums.

On the issue of Puerto Rico...

Puerto Rico needs to focus on tourism, they need to make it nice for the tourists, they can make money that way. In Orange County, California, tourism creates over one hundred and sixty thousand jobs, alone.

And as Puerto Rico rebuilds they need to go GREEN, with solar, wind, etc, and each area needs to own its own electric company, and some of the money from the electric bills can go into a general fund, and some of the money from the general fund can go towards improving each area, and it can go towards helping the homeless, etc.

Also, Puerto Rico needs to become a state of the USA, they need equal statehood, like Hawaii.
