You know what a street is well I'm going to write about what's on it apart from pavements. On almost every street there are, apart from shops and cafes, there are street performers. You can see anything from magicians to singers, do you stop to watch or listen, I do. When you have had enough of one you move onto the next but do you put something in their hat or wherever they are collecting money, I do sometimes if they're good. As I walk on down the street there's a singer and I stop to listen, perhaps they are good or bad but I still listen and wonder why are these people are doing what they do. Thinking about it I wonder if they're doing it for a bit of extra money, practicing or hoping that they may get spotted by someone in their particular field, get noticed and maybe get a proper job out of it. There are a few really good singers out on the streets but why, are they in college and need money to pay for their tuition or do they just like performing and hearing people clap at the end of their act or maybe they just like seeing the smiles on peoples faces as they seem to forget about shopping and stop to listen. Why if some of them are really good don't they audition for a reality show on tv and there are loads of them, on those shows they will reach a wider audience not just a few shoppers and maybe get a real shot at fame and fortune. Whatever act they are doing out on the streets they have one real thing and that is courage, courage to be there no matter what the weather is like or how good they think they are , so what ever reason they are performing I admire them because they have that courage and I don't mind giving them something out of my pocket to give them encouragement to keep doing what they enjoy and entertaining others who may have problems but after watching or listening they forget their problems if only for a minute or two, so thanks to all the street performers,keep doing what you are doing and try to enjoy yourselves in whatever your performance is and don't stop just because you don't have a large audience, if you're good enough then more and more people will stop, watch and listen and of course you will make more money which is why you are probably there in the first place. Well that's all from me for today I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and will continue to follow me and perhaps share with someone you know. Thank you.
Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...
