[MOPO] MOPO-August thoughts of Movies and posters and otherworld events
Hi Mopo- I turned 67 on Aug 11- wow My son called and brother...Tommy is healing from bipolar depression and schizophrenia I guess he's taking medication now but since he's an adult I'm not allowed to talk to the doctors I told him prayer was the best answer for stress I understand very well and I discovered why tell me it was taking some of my items personal belongings was because he was never prepared for what if his dad dies and I think he just had a complete meltdown mentally from the stress the answer was for me to forgive him let him keep the items that he took when I asked God what do I so I got was what's more important your son or some memorabilia Many families fight over their parents estate or belongings or financial property it's a horrible thing and when I thought there was a possibility I might end up in a nursing home it was stressful for me also so what did I do? I said Lord God if it is your will where I end up in a nursing home and everything I own be taken away let it be done as I believe it's your world not mine the lesson I learned was it's not about time martins well it's about Jesus Christ well it's a hard concept when you wonder who's in control me the doctors a social service group my son the courts who is in control? When I was younger in my 20s and started this business it was about accumulating making as much money as possible and buying stuff like cars houses and other property I never planned on long-term what happens when I'm 67 years old and I'm in pour house and have my foot amputated Indian partially blind what do I do then? I found in my own personal researchers we never plan on our demise we try to plan on accumulating even more because we are addicted to saving stuff example is old men keep boxes of nuts and bolts in baby food jars that they never will use because when they're young they say I need one of these someday so they squirrel in the way thinking that they will use it again problem is after they start losing your memory they forget they have in the garage or basement is full of boxes of small parts that will never get used then the family airs have to have garage sales to sell all of grandpa's or dad's stuff after he croaks fact how I found a lot of my memorabilia is attending estate sales and garage sales We find stuff like limited-edition books that were stashed away by grandpa and grandma years ago that the families have no clue what it's worth in the estate sale vendors just want to get rid of it as fast as possible within days so I have watched entire lifetimes of collectibles be liquidated in a few days then people put it on eBay if they discover a trophy or collectible As you all know dealers basically process with their knowledge and get it to the market and then if you're lucky it might end up on a very high cost auction house like Heritage or Bruce and Garner big results but first it starts at the garage sale or estate sale then it goes to a specialist dealer regionally who then passes it on to another dealer that's larger than eventual goes to auction to all the wealthy bidders Funny thought I need to go while I was sleeping I had a dream that I had an order that needed to be filled for my copper boards and in my mind I was thinking it through what I needed to do as far as processing the parts which is almost laughable since I don't even have a foot right now but I was logistically planning it out in my sleep when I woke up I thought wow I'm so glad I don't have an order because I'm proud of myself I'm always delivering the goods that's one of the frustrating things about being ill is when you cannot do what you used to do that even happens to major sports figures like Simone the acrobat runner sometimes people need time to recharge and reestablish their mind and thoughts or even resuscitate their business even corporations do that all the time that's why many of the fortune 500 companies or big bucks big commerce companies I've had to do the same When I look at companies I found in my company partially on Sears roebuck and I watch the company we run into the ground by a hedge fund investor who just started bottom-line profit margin instead of taking care of the customers and taking care of his employees I'm a firm believer that the employees help build the company but if you don't have a major compassion for your customers you might as well throw in the towel because what builds a business is the treatment of the customers in times when it looks like you're losing money but you're actually investing in your business because businesses based om Goodwill I would tell my employees I'll never be angry with you for taking too good of care of a customer pretend that each package is a Christmas gift and packet as well as you can offer some free lagniappe show gratitude and give a little extra even if it's just for a $10 order or a five dollar order because in the customers
