We have a right to worry and plan for the future, but we would be wrong to forget to have fun along the way. We simply won’t make it a better tomorrow if we don’t take time to enjoy life today. Take it from me; my entire life has been lived in the name of delayed gratification. You can do better; you can have fun along the way with family and friends.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We would do well as a nation to remember the importance of taking responsibility for our own lot in life. I think there is a danger in putting too much pressure on the individual. I don’t mean that the government should pick up the slack and neither do most Americans. Our public institutions are weakening and are in no condition to be relied upon except in a time of crisis.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Pull your life together consider whether you are happy at your JOB, or your JOB is taking away too much time from your personal life and separation from family. You should consider a career change and look for something to provide financial independence, more personal time and having fun along the way of accomplishing these goals.</p>

<p>-         Mark Twain</p>
<p><strong>Anger and Accountability in </strong><strong>America</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Americans are focused today on what’s missing in their government and in leaders than the benefits they derive from our democracy. The single most imperative for people in politics, business, the media or popular culture is to recognize the anger in America and as a result show and demonstrate genuine, measurable accountability in what they do and how they do it.</p>
<p>The list of complaints are endless – and certainly justifiable. Americans have seen politicians govern without accountability and spend money with abandon recklessness, while we fall further into personal, national and generational debt. Ordinary people feel that hard work isn’t enough to get ahead in today’s America; and they think Washington barely works at all.</p>
<p>What Makes You Angriest About Washington?<span id="more-54"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The      politicians are out of touch</li>
<li>The      politicians are beholden to lobbyists and special interests</li>
<li>The      negative attacks in political campaigns</li>
<li>Extreme      Viewpoints</li>
<li>Nothing      ever gets done in Washington</li>
</ul>
<p>Americans today are changing they know the majority of the country didn’t vote in our President it was because he carried the majority vote in the under 30 individuals (a first in modern politics) who were primarily driven by their emotions and the charismatic speaking of President Obama. We as Americans can change the political environment through our votes, but we must vote with our heads not our hearts.</p>
<p><strong>Tip of the Day:</strong> We can refocus our anger and take responsibility on the political scene the way Americans are taking responsibility for their incomes by the ever increasing home businesses and small businesses starting up. 1 in 6 Americans that have or are working for large corporations are turning their backs on these JOBS and opening their own businesses.  Start investigating now for your financial independence, by clicking here for a <a href="http://www.secretbusinessfromhome.com/">home based business</a></p>
