The hard workers that make a nation whole.

Dedicating this post to all the men and women who have/had a boss that makes you rather bang your head against the wall rather than listen to them. You know who are and be proud to speak your mind.


Ever looked at your hands? Like really looked at it? Have you ever wondered what your own two hands or even one hand, has done in the life that you've been living?The amazing things it has felt and the amazing things you were able to accomplish with these 2 or 1 hands. I wasn't born in the 1700's or during the Renaissance era where there were no technologies or really big trucks to carry really heavy equipment, but those men and women that worked on the Parthenon or the Coliseum, it must have been hard. The heavy material, no head or body protection, having 20 men carry one piece of 20ft wood and it would probably take hrs to put up. The amount of detail these men and women had to deal with in order for this grand master piece to be put together. So when the great leaders of the world talked or partied, the Italians or Greeks could brag "yeah I gotta round stadium, beat that." Now a days we have the technology to make the labor a little bit easier on the men and women working on construction sights, picking vegetables, or bringing furniture up the empire state building.

But what we, and by we I mean the men and women who don't have these sorts of jobs, don't understand is this: those jobs are still a lot harder even with all the technology. I am not going to mention the types of people who work these kinds of jobs but I am just gonna say they deserve to get paid a lot more that $4.50 an hr. They work before the sun comes up & way past the sun goes down, because they have to feed themselves & their family. They don't want to work all those hours, bending over, breaking bones, etc. They would rather be with their families and finding a job that might pay better. Then there are those who have high power jobs and get paid the big bucks and would rather stay at the office all night and day to the point where they are home at midnight. Yes their priorities are similar--main goal to support their family--but sometimes I can't help but think some of these people actually want to stay away from their family.


Those high corporate officials are just like the leaders during the building of the Coliseum, they take credit for the design, where it is place and what it will be used for. But they tend to forget the men that worked to bring the material up or put it together so it can look as flawless as possible. Do you think they would thank someone who holds a hammer compared to the other someone who holds the money? Me thinks not. My real point is this, that the high corporate officials, the Senators, anyone who thinks they are to good and have really big egos, they should really appreciate the so called "little people" because without them they wouldn't be on such high horses. If everyone who has ever felt "little" or has been treated with disrespect, would just walk right out and never look back all those officials wouldn't have a job. Yes IMHO they would not be in the position they are in without the 'helps' help, so a tip for the future leaders of the corporate world treat the people you might consider beneath you with a little respect they in a way control you.

  1. I am so proud of you, Hoku. Everytime I see that you post a new blog, I get excited. You have even inspired me to start my own blog. Of course, it isn't as educated as yours is, but I'm going to try to get my thoughts and feelings out. Just like you. Keep on blogging, baby girl!
