Rewarding those who help you.

Hey guys!

Just wanted to get this out there, because I know have been at the short end of the receiving stick many times and know how it can burn and sting. The thing is simple people reward those who help you. Of course this can refer to any area of help. Something's that come to mind are helping a friend, be it with moving, weekend project, or a professional service that you offer such as photography, web design, computer repair, or whatever your services may be. Again the reward doesn't have to always be monetary, you can offer someone lunch or offer to take them out somewhere to hang out, or barter a service of yours. Of course if your talking about a business contact that has helped out or went out of their way to accomplish their services for you, the reward would most likely always be monetary, as in a tip. Often times people will not expect this from you considering it was their job, etc... but when they do get surprised you can be sure that next time their services are needed you will be treated more like V.I.P. then walk-in customer.

Friends, just don't forget that this is something that goes both ways. Often times its easy for us to just be stuck on the fact that our friend has used us or our services and just expected it to be there for him without any compensation. But try to think of a way to reward those around you that help you as well, because you may be making someone feel just that way as well.

On a side note you obviously do not want to let a relationship, professional or friendship to become abusive from either end. If someone is expecting you to deliver free service on call, you need to let them know in the nicest way that your services are not free, and you need to make time for paying customers.

Well guys, hope this helps you all out in your dealings with others and allows you to grow more pleasant relationships with everyone you deal with. Now, time to go take my own advice ;)

On a side note check out my latest YouTube video about a family vacation I took when I just got my canon 60D camera. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you need any information from my photography or video-graphy escapades.

Enjoy Life

We all think we have a piece of advice we can offer to people. This is something we can all admit to thinking we are offering a snippet of genius that we are proud of coming up with by ourselves. So here I'am adding my own snippet of advice. lol ;p

If anything, just enjoy the simple things in life. Let things slide for once. Forgive your spouse/significant other. Let go of grudges and just live. After all the most important thing we have are our relationships with each other, otherwise we wouldn't want to exist. Try not let things get under your skin, and focus on things you truly love, and enjoy! Do some real living today.

In light of skipping music Friday's (I'm on vacation in Chicago with my little nieces and nephews), I'm posting one up today. Enjoy!

I'm working on a video project at the moment. It will be a compilation of all things "summer memories". This is something that is near and dear to me, as I seem to have a very deep connection with the sights, smells, feelings, and amaziness of summer, and I want to portray that somehow in a video. If you interested check out my channel on youtube, and subscribe for some cool videos coming soon, all filmed on DSLR.

What really matters?

*disclaimer: as some points in time, you may feel that this blog is my personal therapist. Just ignore that thought and press on. ;)

Well whenever I imagined myself writing a blog I always thought it would sound this way or that, but when I get down to it, it just doesn't sound as spectacular as I imagined. Anyway I'm taking time time off right now from work and I'm traveling from the northeast to Chicago to visit my sister. After reminiscing about old times, we again reconnected and engaged in a relationship building. Having a maxing heart to heart conversation with all my brother and sisters, hanging out and creating new memories with nieces and nephews, I again fell reconnected with life.

But this brings to the question of what really matters in life? I keep trudging to keep up with the rat race and running in circles of the debt/money cycle, and it seems never ending. But when I'm with the people I love, I honestly don't remember about any of my financial or daily living troubles. It alike having a two different lives and I don't know the one exists when I'm in the other. This is why I want to do things that I love such as videography, photography, and real estate, and of course hanging with the fams! This I believe would be ideal and the way that God actually designed us to live. God help me achieve as an ambitious goal. Good night y'all!

First words

Hi all, or whoever stumbles upon this blog. As the name implies I'm going to be posting from time to time without any prewritten form. The reason for this is simple. I've been thinking of starting a blog for awhile now but never got around to it. I have some thoughts which sometimes I think are genius. lol (rolling of eyes). But then when I look back and try to remember them I can't. So hopefully by writing it out I will be able to Make sense of things in my head and also remember it by the repetition of writing out my thoughts as well as having this record of them.

I'm not the most educated person, and neither do I think that you must be, to be a successful person. So excuse me ahead of time for any mistakes I make or inadvertently write into this blog.

Some things that I want to do with this blog include music Fridays and photo Tuesdays. I hope I can make this a visual presentation as well as a intellectually stimulating one. That way you won't be too bored.

Okay all, thanks for stopping by. Hopefully I can start posting things soon! It is a Tuesday so heres a pic! This is actually a picture of the building I worked in until January 2011 when it tragically caught fire. Located in Binghamton New York. Cool place, come check it out.
