it doesn't work that way.
someone should have put a foot to the seat of your pants a long time ago.
maybe that would have gotten your attention & motivated you to do something besides contemplate your navel and whine about how tough you have it.

Youre absolutely right. Like so many of my generation i just had a humble wish of fame and fortune and no desire to work for it.

Like so many others of my generation i expected the world to bend over backwards to give me everything i wanted.

And like so many of my generation I have never actually tried on my own to acheive any of the success i felt so rightfully entitled to.

And now, i am just an angry, lonesome, sexually-repressed and dissillusioned fool who doesnt understand why i wasnt handed the success i so rightfully deserved.

Maybe im spoiled, maybe i wasnt raised right, maybe life dealt me an unfair hand. Maybe i actually am i loser and should just pack it in.

Or maybe im a just masochist who needs to work on my english.

ok, goodluck with that. I am sure to everyone now in this thread knows you are just taking the piss and making a joke out of them.

If you showed martian a wall and it was green and you told him it was green ....... he would then proceed to tell you the wall was actually black and how he is such a loser and other junk. When all all along he knew the wall was green and simply acting normal and admitting the wall was green would end the convo and his amusement.

So instead he disagrees and tells you junk in the hope you further explain to him the same thing over and over and over. Continue at your own risk. I for one won't be warning anyone else. Amazed how many people you got to debate with you though. Well done.

Or maybe you need to stop being dependent on things and become independent?

"If someone can tell me a shortcut or a technique...", "Maybe I wasn't raised right...", "Maybe life is unfair to me...", etc.

You, like most people (so don't feel bad about it) are too dependant on external factors. Nobody can give you a technique that would change your life. That is because it won't change your life until you apply it. And if you never apply any of the techniques, they are just shitty techniques for you.

You cannot change how you were raised, and you make your own luck in your life. You are not your problem. Other people effecting you aren't a problem. The problem is that you look at the external factors as problems, when they should not affect you. If you change that paradigm, you are already on a good way.

When you become independent, you will see that you can make your life however you want it to be. And it's never too late to start over from scratch. People who are much older than you have successfully changed their lives.

Here's your technique (which I hope you will apply):

Get the book "7 habits of highly effective people" and read it. If you don't have the few dollars to buy the book, you can probably find a book or audiobook on the internet.

If you read it and apply it, your life will change forever. You probably could have read it in the time that you're writing and reading in this thread.

You can't change your life without action. Imagine buying a farm, then doing nothing there. What will happen to your crops and your animals? That will happen to your life as well, if you don't take any action. But you can always get new animals, feed them and raise them, and they will give you a lot of great food. It's the same with life. It's never too late to start over. You just have to want it and take that leap of faith.

By the way, perhaps reading my guide on productivity might help. It's in my signature.

If you are really serious that you want to change, you can send me a friend request and we can talk some more on Skype, and I can help you change your life.

-SF

P.S. Even if OP was trolling, it is irrelevant since most of us are probably trying to help him because we love helping people. Even If the person applies the advice is up to them, but we will always live happily with knowledge that we at least tried to make the world a better place.

Im not trolling... im literally lost.

I have nothing better to do than ego surf my own thread. I have no friends and no real life, and thats honestly why im still here.

I just resent anyone who tells me the cause of my misery is some self-inflicted entitlement complex thats generational. So fuck you very much, William340.

But yea go ahead and trash me... it helps me not feel so fucking alone.

And schnitzelfisch i have been reading your blog and find it inspiring albeit impossible for me to apply.

My problem isnt external...

I have no one to blame but myself for my misery, I just cant seem to change through external action.

I am done. I am done with poker, i am done with being a loser and im done with this stupid planet.

And no this is not some troll or level or fake bullshit thread. This is a guy at the end of his pitiful rope venting his last frustrations in a sad pathetic manner on an internet forum because he has no friends to talk to.

If anyone out there has any idea of what im taking about throughout my posts, or if anyone even gives a shit, take a few seconds right now to appreciate the fact that you're not completely demoralized and hopeless.

To all of you who posted something constructive and positive, thankyou. May your cards be live and your pots be huge.

To all the rest, go fuck yourselves... i hope you end up as broke, angry and miserable as i am.

I saw this all I can tell you is a 20 years old guy doesn't whine the way you do.

Are you actually working somewhere? Because when I first worked I really changed the way I saw life and got more mature and it was physical work not sitting at a desk; and I started not to complain like a little child for every little shit that I've got in.

You sound like pussy who can't cope with life.
What would you have done if you lived in the Middle Ages and everyone was poor, had no diversity of food, not enough water, war was a constant worry, you worked all day to provide food for your family? And if your few animals you did have died, you were completley fucked. Or you were completley a slave to the rich ones. Then what?

Remember, as you think you shall become, you think shit of course you'll do shit.

You suffer of serious deppression, start taking your life back on track.

What to do:
- Start practicising some sport, do exercises at home if you can't afford to go to gym. Buy 2 dumbbells to train better. Jogg in park, jogg across the bank of the river that crosses your city (you could even meet new people, women as well).

- Read books that you like (don't know what type? then find out and explore) Read biographies: Napoleon Bonaparte, Benjamin Franklin, Adolf Hitler (Hitler had a fucked up childhood indeed, I bet on my life yours wasn't that harsh) etc. Read the biographies of important people,

- Eat healthier food (as much as you can afford)

- Get better quality sleep

- Be more social, start to tell jokes, if you don't know, learn them from the internet, in time you'll simply start cobining them and you'll have your own jokes.

- Hobbys: Take dance lessons, workout, read, swim, skydive, visit other cities, ride the bicycle etc

- Others: Get educated: know something about everything, learn how economy works (you'll deal with money all your life); learn history; learn what foods to eat and WHY; learn how to workout; learn what you need to do to start a business and think of business ideas.

As important as the above if not more important is to cut things out: Don't watch soap operas, don't watch dramas, don't watch the news, don't watch political shows, don't listen to love songs etc. Instead watch movies like: The Grey (I loved the ending), Count of Monte Cristo, Black Hawk Down, Dante's Inferno, Band of Brothers etc

Start thinking what you will do with your life in 1 years, 2 years. I got my plan what I'm going to do this year. From mid summer I'll start playing poker in my free time, I have found a type of game that I can beat. I'll start working again, I will keep half of my salary each month and in 6 months I'll begin getting my own money. If I fail, I have other 2 scenarios in mind.

3 excellent quotes:

Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up. ~Dag Hammarskjold

The man who has no inner life is a slave to his surroundings. ~Henri-Frédéric Amiel

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And as he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts. He ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of discovering the hidden powers and possibilities within himself. - As a man thinketh

OP is a fagg*t.

I know a lot of things that i dont apply.

I think im subconsciously wired to sabotage my own situation, be it at poker, or anything else in life.

You're a whiny bitch, not a loser! If you're not satisfied with your life, is a online forum really the place to find the solution? MAN THE FUCK UP!

People are starving, sick, bankrupt, etc. and they pull their shit together and keep on pushing! You are crying about losing in a card game! talk about first world problems....

Hey Martian
I have added you to my friends list. I can see you are really down and if you want to pm me for a chat or add me on to skype please do. Keep your chin up dude, sometimes life can seem really difficult and we can get really down, in my experience these tough times help to build us into stronger people and eventually we come out of the other side feeling happier and with a better perspective on life.

LOL. I was one of the least smartest people when I first started school. I remained that way until my last two years. I worked my fucking ass off and am now studying at the top university in my country, doing a very employable course and getting top grades throughout it. I sucked at playing guitar until I stuck in a lot of effort, and am now reasonably good. I have a friend who was a fat nerd, unable to run 50 meters, he then started playing sports. He worked hard enough that he is now the best football player I have seen in real life, and he has been scouted for a premiership team. He might not make it, but it shows that effort and hard work can take you somewhere.

Poker is no different. Sure you can have natural talent or whatever, but I know some very smart people that were so fucking lazy they now work at mcdonalds frying up burgers, and probably will do for the rest of their life.

Also stopped reading the thread after that post.

Man, i'll tell you what a member said to me when i posted a dreary post in th downswing forum saying how i just couldn't see myself continuing this game.

Try it out 1 more time. Try forgetting everything you "think" you know about poker and jst start all over again by rereading from basic articles #1. Try and comprhend the material. Rather then just whiz thru it. It's a long road to the top. You can't get there if you don't want it bad enough and at least....at the very least, believe in you. I believe in you. You need to, or its all over bud.

So its not just my blog you are giving this advice in Magic, you have inspired to do this!!

It''s what makes me who I am roo gotta treat everyone the same! Learned that from a wise woman. Also, i like going back to my roots. That's what inspires me to continue on this path, to know i'm not alone. I expect to be positively uplifted from my supporters too if i ever became hopeless, depressed or sad as a result of poker's cruel personality

Hi everyone, I have been a member here for a short while and read some posts on the forum. After reading this thread I had to write my first post. I have heard some of these comments e.g.losing money is not fun.

We all like to win and be the best and personally I am about as competitive as they come. Being a beginner I lose some hands through stupid begiinners mistakes, but then I try and learn from those mistakes and I find it a lot of fun.

The people who have made these statements I would ask to think about this. Different people have different hobbies, some sporting some not. None of the hobbies are free but people will partake in their hobby on a regular basis and buy equipment or pay fees. Being from the UK I know many people who play football everyweek. Some play forgood teams and are relatively successful. Then there are the others that play just as much, but rarely win and know they are going to finish near the bottom of the league tables. These people buy their kit, pay their subs etc with no return other than fun.

People often look at poker as a way to make money the easy way. Really, especially at the begining it is a hobby for many whilst they learn a increase their skills. Personally I would say they are not fullfilling their expectations through poker by not making the money they expected. Innorth reality ther do not enjoy socialising and playing poker together. Having fun with like minded people and also accepting he big challenge in poker, "themselves"

I don't praise him, I had just suggested to read biographies of some important people of history and there are some examples of books he could read. If you don't want to read someone's biography because he was a bad person, it's ok. But saying it isn't important or can't be an interesting read or can't learn something from it is childish and narrow minded.

Now read his teen and youth years, then compare which life sucked harder, Hitler's or martiangoblin's. This may put things into perspective and really see what real hardships mean!

Also don't confuse Mein Kampf with a biography book.

Thank you.
