The stupidity of hope

What a title huh? Hope as defined by Webster is: a feeling of what is wanted will happen, desire accompanied by expectation.

What a load of shit. Hope has no tomorrow. I will prove it. Tomorrow i hope i win the lottery. Tomorrow never comes. Who believes in hope?

Did Bill Gates hope to get rich? Did Donald Trump hope to get rich? Did i hope to meet someone?

People who DO, DO NOT wait for hope to make it happen.

I hope i get a good job. Can you get that good job if you stay at home or do you have to go out and find it? Well duh!

What do all successful people have in common? They didn't hope for it, they earned it.

Why do people sit around on their ass and hope things will change? Nothing changes unless you make it change.

The next time you hear someone say they hope for something, ask them what they are doing to assure themselves of that desired outcome.

Instead of hope, have them wish for luck. Luck is simply preparation meeting opportunity. If they aren't prepared, hope is a big waste of time.

recommend NOT using this at home ... repercussions can be inexplicably harsh
