Yes, I’ll keep you anonymous. All am doing here is giving some personal advices for you to guide your life for near to come days. As a young immature man, it is not easy for you to predict the future but, at least you could see the future as the result or the fruit of the present. There is no such a thing as “being lucky” but a thing in which a man could use any chances in their life cuz that man is prepared for whatever opportunity occurs and use that opportunity for his advantage and the advantage of others. Most men are productive after their 22 yrs of age to a 70 yrs of age. Few are productive for the rest of their lives. But how could some one be productive if that “someone” is not ready to evolve in duties, obligations and labour if the person has not the training to do that? Some people, a few, cuz they have an open mind, are capable to confront situations and solve problems that enlighten the individual. Let us assume been a soldier in time of peace. It is not simple just been a soldier, what is important is to ascend ranks, not only a soldier full of courage at doing things but, a man with knowledge at doing things with open mind to create, solve and implement a mode of vivendi in benefit of his institution. It is not to search for respect or admiration, it is that cuz of his ability and willingness to solve not only his own problems, that soldier solves other soldier problems. That is just one of the ways a soldier, in a bottom rank could escalate to lieutenant or a little bit higher. Of course, if that soldier has an education, the education is that soldier’s key to open doors and not only gain the rank of lieutenant but, a soldier-General. If the soldier has not any education such as in physics, psychology, history, math and computer science, I doubt the soldier would escalate as high as lieutenant. You’ll be around four (4) yrs in the military …now, have you any knowledge of any thing mentioned above? But the military gives you the chance to learn it, mostly with via “hands-on”, which is learning as doing any assigned work. Just to mention a good example; there was a person who was, in my personal opinion, one of the best National Security Agent, he was something what I call: “a walking brain” in computer science but had no education in other sciences such a philosophy, Physics, psychology, history even math (except in math used in computer science). Edward Joseph Snowden was a self-educated person. Incredible man in algorithm for computer science (self-made computer engineer). US lost that man, he predicated that in the NSA, there were many things that had to be shown to the public. Wrong he was and still is, cuz any country protects its existence by creating, copying and utilizing secrets of any kind, be it in Psychology, Physics, Bio, Chemistry and things like complex Algorithm uses to spy. All well developed Nation States do that; none of them make public their works …the problem: he made public secrets that belongs to the defense of US. Nations are like people (cuz they are built of people) that use trials and errors, make mistakes, execute acts of crimes under the need to protect its existence. Those things shall not be made public. Each and most Nation States do that. In our Democratic Nation State and the rest of any Democratic Nation States do that but we protect one to the other. This man chose USA to present high classified data to the world. Did not include Russia, China, Iran, North Korea but US …and that is just one of the reasons I, personally, call him a TRAITOR. …after he found protection in Russia, Russia, this mere Nation States, had advance much more in creating software to attack US and the rest of Europe. Is not that a curious opinion of mine? …and that is why you have to acquire some degree of education if you want to escalate not to be a lieutenant but, a General of the United States of America. Learning via “hand-on” and education. By the way, “hand-on” means, for example, a person learning mechanics, or computer or anything, by doing the thing as a job to be done either by themselves or under somebody else supervisor, its superior, the boss, the teacher, the instructor and solving problems. It is not studying with a book even though many times have to consult a book then adding to that education of the type above mention (bio, psych, hist and all those grasses that is study in any social group). This is the man: Edward Joseph Snowden (born June 21, 1983) is an American whistleblower who copied and leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 when he was a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee and subcontractor. His disclosures revealed numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments, and prompted a cultural discussion about national security and individual privacy. …US lost a great man cuz his education in sciences was poor, and US need people with his knowledge in computer science to teach others and protect US. Russia have him and it is exploiting his “know-how” against US and Europe. Today day, to escalate and enjoy a high class position, my advice above is the format to do that, not as making a business, owning a business and been a boss; a stupid man could do that, even become president of any country but, the consequences are grave for the country; history had shown that even here in USA. A soldier must and shall educate him/her-self, gain some form of education and be in the top chain of USA military as a General. You have four years to do that. Do not spend your hard earned money buying alcohol, illegal drugs, abusing others cuz “I got some money” and the blah, blah,blah of things that turn to be wrong in the future. Your present determine your future yet the future cannot be predicted. Sincerely yours: Your Father.
