Good sharing this, I enjoy reading down the article and I agree with you on the few points you pointed out there, which is very important for one to take note of.
I will just add a little to all that you have said and I will also give you some accolade concerning the fact that you're hard working and was able to provide for yourself and also assist your family in somethings.
LEARN TO STAND ON YOUR FEET
This is the fact many have to learn in this life, this current world we are living in is hard and things are not easy judging by economy of many countries around the globe.
This is not the period or season were we hope on people to provide all our needs but is the time which people have to engage in things that will provide for them financial and for the to be able to provide for there selves.
We all have to learn to be independent on ourselves the little we can because if you're not able to help yourself nobody will untill there is value you placed on your head no one will invest in you.
Thank you.
