So You Want to Be a Guru huh?

Well, contrary to popular belief, today becoming a computer guru is simple. The most important things you need are patience, internet, and knowledge. You can obtain the knowledge from the internet if you know where to look. Most computer gurus know the ins and outs of at least 2 operating systems. Mine happen to be Ubuntu Linux and any Windows. They know at least 1 high level programming language (C++/Java), and 3 scripting languages(HTML/CSS/PHP/Javascript/Python). It also helps to play games, but that's optional. The types of people who naturally become guru's are those who enjoy overcoming challenges.

Communities are large, and very helpful. The number one rule is READ! READ! READ! Most of us willing to help, will help, but we don't do the work for you. We help you with analogies, information, and concepts. We expect you to put them together to do what you need. The unsaid rule I always break is: Even when you learn by example, more study is required to clarify yourself. Sometimes you assume things because they work, and much much later you find out your wrong and look like a complete moron in front of others, so if you don't take that feeling of remorse well, and you don't want it to cost you a job one day, always review something after you think you understand it, who knows you might learn something else.

The New Health Plan

I do not see any reason to reform our current system. Every government system we allow that has to do with funds is manipulated to show the money where they want it, and not show it where they can ask for it. For the most part, even the people we vote into power do not plan the budgeting. Committees do the handling and planning whether someone wants it to happen or not.

I was talking to my grandma about this. She was telling me how, when she was younger, and they created the social security system they figured it out that no matter what there would be enough money for everyone as long as no one touched the pot. Then the government found other ways to dip their hands into that pot, because they could not stand all that money sitting there that they could not touch. So, they found ways to pull it out that the majority of us felt was a "good cause" because they said there was plenty enough. Now, it's said to be running out.

If I am forced to carry health care, I don't know in my current situation how I am going to afford it. If the government decides to give me coverage, then why not just increase the current government medical coverage range. I know for a fact, even if I don't have coverage there are low income avenues in place to decrease the amount I have to pay. Bottom line is chances are, if you are below the poverty line you are going to owe a variety of companies anyway. The only real chances you have is, education and slowly rising into a better position, or maybe winning the lottery, or coming up a great business idea that quickly makes a fortune.
