The Peculiar Human Connection At The Work Place

The relationship between colleagues is a weird one. You spend more time with them than anybody else and yet they know the least about you and vice versa. It's because of that fake front most people are forced to put on at work. You can't speak your mind and if you were to do so, you are either going to be fired or fired. You are supposed to go to work, do your little thing, keep your mouth shut and smile. That's it. It's simple. What don't you understand? You are also supposed to make it look like you love it. Like it's a dream come true even though your boss makes more money on your back than there are monkeys in the jungle.

Why did that happen?

Separation between people is what makes large groups weak and controllable. By dividing people you can control more of them. When they act against in group you have no choice but to submit. However, when you make them fight each other while you are controlling every one of them - you win.

Everybody's promised to be something. The modern media has convinced us that we are all going to be movie stars, sports celebrities, singers and all kinds of other "Cosmo" like professions which are supposed to be admired. What's up with all those singers these day? Every second reality show and TV format seems to be occupied by singers trying to 'make it in the industry'. What's so special about singing? Isn't that discrimination against deaf people?

I am no saying you can't be a star. You could very well be. Who am I to know that? What do I know, however, is that there's something wrong with the world. I think we are losing the spiritual front. It's all about me and me...

Back to work.

You can't connect with many people at the work place. There's more chance to connect with aliens from Mars than with the zombies fighting for promotions and bonuses. They are going to stab your back if you are honest and tell the truth. Nobody likes the truth, not even me. Especially me. Luckily, the truth doesn't care. It's there like a mountain. You can't break it...unless you are an earthquake but if you are one it really sucks for you.

Back to work.

What happens if you do da thing they call "falling in love'' at the work place? What do you do? The wise thing would be to undo it. There's no point in it. Forget about your favorite movies produced by satanic zombies. Love story is just a that - a story. Ask your mom if you don't believe me. Don't fool at the work place because the predators may catch you and when they do you are going to be fired. An additional bonus will be that the other person will tell everything there's to know about you and everytime there's a measure talk you may be confused (stupid joke is stupid)

Back to work.

What happens if you are exploited and you revolt? The other zombies will most likely not support you because you are putting them at risk and they don't like being put at risk. Why are you trying to sabotage everything and take their bread? Can't you just shut your mouth and do your work? Who are you to have rights? Who are you to be treated like a human being? THE NEXT iPHone has to be made! Don't you get it?

....this is getting too long....I have to go BACK TO WORK...

Presenting NattyOrNot.com - More Info On Training

For the last 8 weeks I've been posting less posts than usual and partially it's because I've been writing a new web-site that is dedicated specifically to training and nothing more. Many people find IG.com and spam every single post with off topic training questions. I don't mind that much because any comment is better than no comment. However, I decided to make a new site that will deal specifically with training. It's sort of ready and is called: http://nattyornot.com/. 

It will contain a lot of posts on steroids - who uses and who doesn't as well as training - how to do the exercises and other basic stuff. 

Don't worry, irongangsta.com continues strong but I will still write mainly about philosophy related subjects. Here are some of the articles from nattyornot.com that may be somewhat interesting to the average visitor of IG.com:

http://nattyornot.com/learn-squat-first-squat-workout/

# There will be a much longer collection of squat articles that will explain everything you need to know as a beginner.

http://nattyornot.com/choose-bodybuilding-routine-beginners-guide/

# I wrote that after receiving an e-mail request. Hope it's helpful.

http://nattyornot.com/reach-muscular-potential-bodyweight-exercises/

#A lot of people ask whether you can build muscle with bodyweight exercises.

http://nattyornot.com/how-big-can-you-get-naturally-without-steroids/

#A lot of people ask how big can you get naturally. 

http://nattyornot.com/is-layne-norton-on-steroids/

#This deals specifically with Layne Norton. It contains an in depth explanation of why he is not natural.

#Same thing with Jim Cordova.

Thanks for the support. I hope I've helped you a little.

The Domino Effect - More About Predetermination

Predetermination is based on the Domino Effect which represents the connection between everything and everyone. When one domino piece falls, it affects the next one which hits the next one...etc. One thing leads to another and each situation we are in is the middle place where thousands of other end results meet. 

{why are you reading this post?}

maybe because you wanted to know information about fake natural bodybuilders...

{why do you want to know information about fake natural bodybuilder?}

maybe because as a child you were always the weak one and you want to "fix" some inner weakness...

{and why were you a weak child?}

maybe because you were from a poor family and your parents did not have money to buy enough food?

{and why were your parents poor?}

maybe because......

Let's start at the beginning...

When you are born you are though that "the whole world is in front of you". On theory you can accomplish anything at that age, but this is not the case at all. Who you are has been predetermined long before you were born. You character is not something you choose - the same way your height is not something you choose. If that was the case, everybody would have chosen to own the "coolest character". Your character is affected deeply by factors you don't control. You country, family, neighborhood and the historical period you were born in form your character. 

If you are born in a poor African country, the chances of becoming a famous golf player like Tiger Woods, whose father started him training at a very young age, are pretty slim to non-existent. Chances are you won't even know what golf is, if that was the case. Is Tiger Woods any special compared to anybody else? No. He was just in the right place, in the right time and had the opportunity to get to where he is. Did he work for it? Yes, he did, but he did so because he had the chance to. He was in a favorable environment which facilitated his development as an icon in the MATRIX we live in. He is paid millions of dollars each month to represent NIKE and hit a stupid ball. On the other hand there are thousands of people who work also for NIKE and get paid 1 dollar a day. What did they do wrong in this life? You can try to downplay the role of the environment as much as you want - you will fail. 

When people argue with me about predetermination they tend of oversimplify the matter. Their idea is that if everything is predetermined, there's no need to do anything. That's not the case. The true predetermination is an intelligently created and disguised phenomenon. It's hidden very well at the best place to hide something - right before people's eyes. People live their whole lives thinking they have unlimited control over things they don't. This has both good sides and bad sides. The good sides are that you are more likely to accomplish something, if your self-confidence is higher and you think highly of your skills and abilities. The bad sides consist in frustration and self-hatred. Every day the success of other people is pushed in your face. People you are supposed to love, people like Tiger Woods is what's been accepted as success. When you understand that the reason for their success is mostly predetermined you will immediately appreciate yourself much more. When common people understand that factor, they are no longer common.

Unlike what people think predetermination does not require a static behavior. The fact that most of our lives are sort of pre-planned does not mean that you should do nothing and leave everything to "chance". No. My understanding is that this live is a learning process which can be represented as a train everybody has to travel on. Trains have one direction and are "slaves" to the track. The train goes where the track says. If it goes outside of the margin, there's a penalty and a possible train wreck.

Where is the train going? I don't know.But if life has taught us something, it's that the journey is what matters the most and all roads lead to one CHECK OUT.

Destiny Is Predetermined | We are Preprogrammed By God

What if I tell you that everything that happens to you has been decided a long time ago? 

What If I tell you that you have close to no saying in the outcome? 

What If I tell you that our destiny is predetermined?

Will you get mad?

What we call human destiny is formed by: a) our genetic characteristics and b) our actions which are decided by the first one. 

You don't choose who you are. It was decided by something or someone else a long time ago. You can cry all you want but can't choose your country, family, native town or even the color of your hair. All of this has been predetermined by the formula we call existence. That very same formula is based on the domino effect - you push one unit and everything else follows. 

If you go back in your life and start analyzing how you came to the point where you are right now, you will see that one thing let to another and every little part was important. For example, I can tell you the points that lead to me writing this text at 1 a.m. in the morning Eastern European time.

I've always had problems with my posture. I have pictures of me when I was 7-8 years old and I already had Quasimodo back. When I was about 17 years old I decided to improve my back muscles and I typed: "posture exercises in Google". I found the blog of a girl who was recording her progress on pull-ups and dips. I started training. For the first few years I tried P90X and other home workouts. I developed some strength but I didn't know much about lifting and I was falling for every marketing trick. I remember buying protein powders, creatine, vitamins, fish oil and other kind of useless stuff. Nothing happened. When I was about 22 years old I joined a gym. I started lifting weights and I read a lot more. I've read all there is to read on the Internet about training. Everything. Seriously.

I got to the point where I saw how I was mislead into believing that I could achieve the bodies in the magazines. Didn't happen. I just got fat doing all that bulking. That's why I was so angry and started a web-site: rookiejournal.com where I bash Rippetoe and many other experts.

Later on I made IronGangsta.com because I wanted a web-site which was accessible from all places. I also wanted to be able to write about different topics and not just training, although I've learned a lot about life from the lifting community. I believe that the whole world is as fake as the Photo-shopped steroid users on the cover of FLEX magazine and other equally stupid media.

And here I am writing this post because I had poor posture. The funny thing is that my poor posture is due to my introvert character and general lack of confidence. So, it's probably safe to say that if I had the confidence of a King, you would not be reading this.

My whole point is that whatever you do, you can't escape the natural law created by GOD. I believe in GOD, but I have really hard time determining what it is. What I know so far is that he/she/it/them is not the old man in the sky. It's something much more intelligent. It's like a perfect formula and everybody is a part of it. The actions of every human being affect the end result, even though every one of us is solely responsible for his personal choices.

We think we are driving a car but we are not. We are in a train headed to the same place. We have the illusion of free will, but you don't choose anything, not even the pants you bought yesterday. I know you bought them because you liked the girl in the commercial, and you liked her because she reminded you of your ex..I can go on forever...

Don't misunderstand me! I don't think we should all kill ourselves because everything is sort of predetermined. No! We are here to live and to learn. Predetermined or not our lives are ours to live. They are a gift, a learning curve that everyone has to go through. Why? I don't know, but giving up is not the answer. In fact, by telling you that everything is kinda predetermined I wan't you to love yourself even more. I want you to understand that the only enemy we have is our own inner part and all external competitions are worth nothing. 

So, you are good at tennis...who cares.
