An old man story.

Dear readers, in this blog, we have written about D.I.W. building works. We have written and continue to write about social issues. Now, I am going to publish my own diary and what I see happening in the world, and when I do not have much to say, I will write posts from my life story. 
So, today I am writing a post from my life story, that I have called, An old man story.

This old man in the photo working in the garden, could have been me, since I have been working as a bricklayer and laying pavements most of mt life. But before that, I have been working in the farm, as you will see from my life story. 

Welcome to my article, An old man story. 

Dear readers, this article is the continuation of, My life my struggles

 Anyhow, in this article, I am going to lament about the life that I had to live when I was young. But one should keep in mind that life is what it is and we cannot change it. So, we should accept life the way it is and try to do the best with what we have, that is the only positive thing that we can do, we need to think positive all the time, if we think positive, then life becomes easier, so, your life experience will always count for something positive, even if we have missed good opportunities, perhaps because it was our destiny. 

Anyhow, I must say that, we try to live our lives the best way we can, and we wonder at those things that have happened to us during our lives, some of which are good and some not that good; but once we have lived those happenings, they all seems to be a dream, they are like a dream and distant memories that will come back to our minds when we try to remember them, sometimes we wonder at the amount of events that we have been through during our lives, and it seems almost unreal that we have gone through all those things, but nevertheless it has been our life that we have lived, and it can be told if we want to. So, we want to tell our life story hoping that there are people willing to read our story, perhaps to compare it with their own life story.  

So, I am writing my own life story; but I don’t remember how or when this idea of writing my life story has started in my mind. Anyhow, the reason why I started to write it does not matter much, because there are many people that write their own life story. So, I want to tell you my own life story, to prove to myself that everyone of us has a story to tell, whether my story might not be as great as somebody else story it does not matter much, because here we are not competing who is telling the best story, we are only trying to tell our own life story, but every story has its own merits and can be interesting in different ways; sometimes a story can be interesting because it is unique in its own ways; and I believe that I have had a hard life when I was young, and it was unique in its own ways, therefore, when I may lament about this hard life that I have lived, that is the way that I have lived it, and that is the way that I am telling it.

Because I am telling you about this hard life that I have lived, I am worried, because I guess that not many people enjoy reading somebody else story, when all they do in their story is to lament their bad luck. But anyhow, this is my real-life story, so, let us see what this old man (that is me) is going to tell about his life story, his observation, and his missed life opportunities and lamenting; because my life has not had anything exciting that would attract the attention of the readers, it was a very simple life and no unforeseen happy events happened.

Anyhow, even though I am writing my life story now, I am still trying to learn how to write it; Autobiography - How to Write Your Autobiography, but let us continue and tell you about, my life missed opportunity.  

-----------------------------------------------

 My life missed opportunities. 

Here I am telling my life story and those lost opportunities that make me sad. But I want to tell you my life story, because it makes me remember my memories and experiences that have shaped my life, so, let me tell you my story from the beginning of my life, where I am going to tell you who I am, where I have been, where I am now and how I got here, and now I am writing my own life story. I am writing this story hoping that one day my family and friends may read my story and understand a bit more about me, I know that this is wishful thinking, because families and friends don’t read their stories.

Anyhow, I have decided to tell you my life story, because something has happened to me recently; this something has pushed me to start writing things including my life story. You see, now that I am in my early sixties, therefore, I am in the later part of my life span. I must say that I am experienced with life, and with what life can throw at us, and sometime it can be rather bad; one of my latest experience has made me feel so inadequate and frustrated, for not being able to reach out and make happen, what I wanted to happen. And this is one of the reasons, why I started to write my own life story.

I must say, that to be able to write in Hub Pages and have my own article in a public place to be read from anybody, it makes me feel proud of myself; since in the younger part of my life I have never believed that I could do that, even if I am doing it only in a small way; this makes me feel that I have fought back that feeling of being inadequate and now I feel more confident about myself, because I am writing my story in Hub Pages, but let us go back to my life story.

Anyhow, I must also say that I have felt many times that feeling of being inadequate during my life, because I was put in a disadvantaged position when I was young, and for that reason, I was not able to better myself to a satisfactory standard, which I would have been able to achieve if I had the chance; so, these are my laments in this life story.
For these lost chances I cannot blame anybody, and I can’t even blame my mother for putting me in a disadvantaged position, when I was young, because she was forced from disastrous and tragic events beyond her control. So, I have come to the conclusion that I can only blame Fate, because it struck a terrible blow to our family when I was young.
Therefore, if in my younger years I had been in a position to go to high school at least for a few more years, or perhaps as long as my capacity to learn was used to the maximum; Then I could have learned whatever they teach at school, and at the same time, I would have been in a more social environment, where I would have been able to improve my social and communication skills while I were at school, those skills which are so important to communicate well with the rest of the community.
Therefore, if I had acquired those social skills when I was young, I would have been accepted better socially, and I would have felt happier with myself, instead of feeling sometimes left out from the mainstream, and feeling concerned and isolated.
You see; if I had the chance to learn at high school, then
 from that extra education I could have been more successful later on in my life, because I could have used my acquired knowledge, and those social skills which I never had the chance to learn then, because if I had, I could have achieved better things and gained better rewards from within this society that we are living in today, which seems to me that it is more and more demanding about these social aspect.

This is one of those things that has made me feel inadequate, and it has followed me most of my life. You see, those social skills that I am talking about must be learned when one is young, while frequenting high school and mixing with society around yourself, so, these social skills become part of ourselves, and can use them to our own advantage all our life. For me it was not like that at all and most of those skills that we require in life I had to learn bit by bit the hard way, the best way I could. But now let us write about our own destiny if there is a destiny.

---------------------------------------

Perhaps we have our own destiny. 

Today I believe that we have our own destiny, are born to live our destiny as written in God’s book, so, we are forced to live our lives according to what is written in it, therefore, our life is going to be influenced by life events that are beyond your control, but that is no good.  

You see, if we believe that our destiny is fixed, then there is no way that we could change it, so, it is better if we believe that we can change it somehow. But I believe that there is a sort of destiny because of what has happened to me, and it continues to happen even today.

Anyhow, I have said, I have come to blame my fate for most of my life short comings and pains. Because I believe that when I was born, I was born with a good chance to live a better life; but it was not to be, that is the reason why I think it was my destiny. So, if you read my life story, I am sure that you may ask. Why is it that I am telling you mostly sad stories? Is it possible that in my whole life, I had so many sad happenings and not any happy ones?
Well, I should say that I have had a few happy happenings, but if I had to tell you about my happy happenings they would be so few and boring, and nobody could be interested to hear them, because they seem to me that they are normal things and not important at all.
So, I would like to talk about those happenings that have affected my life in a negative way, one could say that they have made me struggle during my life, as I have said in my article,
My life my struggles

Anyhow, I am thinking that if my writings survive in a hidden corner for a generation or two, I believe that in several years when time passes away, then whoever reads my life story, will find them more interesting, because life was so different in the old days, because we used to live in a different way altogether, you see, I have started to live my life long before the great changes of nowadays, so, this difference is what may make this life story interesting to read.

And if what I am writing here is going to be useless anyhow, I will do it just for practice, so that I can improve my English language and my writing skills. So that, I could feel more confident, instead of feeling helpless.  

So, please don’t be annoyed by my life story, and allow me to write a few things that I have gone through during my life. I would like to write them; so that I could show you how hard life was then and how hard life can sometimes be, since this applies particularly to me; because during my life so many things have changed since I was a child; I know of course that things will still keep changing in the future, and very likely even faster than before, but now because we know of the oncoming changes we can accept them more easily than before, therefore, they will not seem that bad to us, because at least we believe that we know where we are going in the future.
