Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
we can live without this psychological behavior if we want to live happy. i saw few people doing that. its up to you how you want to look at ur life, ur lifestyle and if u want to feel happy or not.

Unfortunately he didn't get to enjoy it.
Three months after he took this photo he committed suicide.
I don't think these pictures should be to motivate you.
I don't think these pictures should make you feel grateful
These pictures are made so you despise everything you got that is costing human life.
If you need pictures with people suffering and some cheap add on quotes to motivate you.
Than motivation is the least of your problems. |
Kevin Carter comitted suicide didn't he?

On 27 July 1994 Carter drove to the Braamfonteinspruit river, near the Field and Study Centre, an area where he used to play as a child, and took his own life by taping one end of a hose to his pickup truck’s exhaust pipe and running the other end to the passenger-side window. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of 33. Portions of Carter's suicide note read:
"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners...I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."
That is from the wikipedia....
wow those pictures make me think of all that I have. I plan on going to south africa and haiti in the next couple of years.

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
This should be a in PDF format.....also for those that sell self development material and marketing material notice how visual this was? You could possibly sell material like this for $47 or more on your own site. Position the copy proper and know your audience because a person can learn more from obvious adams then they ever will from complex jargon. I am a firm believer that if you keep things simple you can help more people learn.
Now where's that pdf?

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
Not to sound like a negative Nancy but these pics are from third world countries. That is the "norm" for some of these people. Unless these people have lived "otherwise" then they will not understand they are what we fit into our perceived category of "suffering".
Picture this: An alien views our world and thinks and relays to his buddies of how "unfortunate" we are for having to actually ride in slow moving cars while they have gazillion mph space ships..

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
The dude with the bike pulling the comedy size empty bottles must be a blackhatter, thats sheer iniative and hard work right there. He'll prob sell them on and make a nice profit.
We all have a choice in life no matter our circumstances and im a firm believer if you work hard and perservere you'll make it in the end.
Look at simon cowell only a few years ago his company went bankrupt now he's the first person to make a billion from Tv. Donald trump was declared bankrupt earlier in his life, look at him now.
Moral is never give up, always believe in yourself, work hard and be grateful no matter how bad things seem.

This is a good post and I understand your point of view, however, I will have to disagree and say it is a false comparison. The main reason is this: we dont suffer driving in our slow cars. We view ourselves as normal, and the aliens view us as the "unfortunate".
In the original post about the third world, the people from the third world are unfortunate and they know it. They are starving and dying, and therefore dont view themselves are normal. They know they are suffering, and we know it too.

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
Striking pictures.......
We are far more fortunate than we think.
It is good that many of us have NOT grown callous to the suffering of those around us......
Donate what you can to the organizations that you deem worthy of your contribution.
I do.......
Who knows the lives that you can touch.
Being grateful is a good thing. I KNOW that I am!

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
I just want to make this thread alive so that many can read.
Just an additional:
Why is it that there are many teenagers in 1st world countries that commit suicide when there are a lot of people in other parts of the world struggling to live and survive.

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
VERY VERY INSPIRING!! And was just about to complain about my low BONUS for this year!! How ungrateful could us be.
I am going to print this out, frame it and then put it up in my living room!!! I don't need it to inspire me, but at least it will keep me THANKFUL for what I have and will keep others from complaining when they pay me a visit!!!

Because their mom makes them do their BED, forces them to get DRESSED in the morning to be DRIVEN to school... and I mean all that stress builds up right, and then when the teenager dyes their hair blue and gets a tongue piercing... their mom has no choice but to take away their iPhone... obviously pushing their sufferings over the limit... and well, they obviously have nothing else to live for left.. and that's how the suicidal cookie crumbles.
Now they don't have iPhones in developing countries do they? There's your answer

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
I was planning to make some donations this Christmas. I always wondered where my donations should go. Now, I just made up my mind after seeing the pictures above and how people are suffering in vain!!!!!!!
Any ideas where I could place my donations so that they get received by people pictured above?
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Re: If you think you are unhappy, look at them
I saw this an year ago. Honestly....not much of a motivator. Seen worse stuff in life....Not trying to undermine anyone.
you know what got to kevin carter in that picture? I read in an article...that he interpreted the picture as the vulture waiting for the child to die so that he can eat.
I have just one thing to say....count your blessings and curb jealousy and you'll be fine. What happens to people cannot always be helped. I have had a dream of helping the underpriviledged. I will do my bit...as and when I can. Giving out donations never helps....hardly any money reaches the people in need...atleast thats how it works here.
also, remember, helping hands are always better than praying minds. So the next time you see someone in need...go help them instead of praying for them..
