good ways to make money

Image by Blondie5000
This was the one spot that seemed somber. We ran into too many school kids in other parts of the battlefield to get the same feeling elsewhere. The town itself is different that I’d expected. There’s definitely a cottage industry built up around the battlefield and that seemed a little wrong. Of course people need to make money and serving tourists with varying interests is a good way to do that.

Does anyone know of any good ways for a fourteen year old to make money?

By admin On May 5, 2011 2 Comments

Question by why hello there(:: Does anyone know of any good ways for a fourteen year old to make money?
My old camera broke and I would like to replace it. Since the camera broke because of me, my parents won’t pay to replace it. I need $ 500 to be able to afford it. Does anyone know of any good ways to make money without going out and trying to get hired somewhere?

Best answer:

Answer by No.
When I was in my sophomore year in high school I joined a Club and we had to raise money so we sold doughnuts and coffee/hot coco in the morning… After the club broke up, I went to my local grocery store and got them to give me all the doughnuts at the end of the day that they threw out by the garbage can full…

I sold those for $ 0.50 each or 3 for $ 1.00, 2 to 3 days a week, and made about $ 80.00 a day.

The grocery store told me at first that they “Donated” the pastries to a food shelter but when I went back and spoke to the bakery department worker, he said they were lying through their teeth because he’d been there for 3 years and no one EVER came to pick up anything, he threw it all away each time he worked bakery, which was 2 to 3 days a week.

As long as I didn’t sell them within sight of the cafeteria, which also sold breakfast foods, no one cared.

I even started getting pre-orders from teachers, security, and students.

Before that, I went to CostCo or Sam’s Club and got a box of Lollypops that I sold for $ 0.25 each and that paid for my lunch every day.

      good ways to make money

      Image by Amadeus Varadi Hellequin
      Και θα ξέρετε από τα μάτια μου, ότι είμαι ο πατέρας της Λακεδαίμονος.

      Μου περιπλανηθεί στον κόσμο μέχρι εκείνη την ημέρα, όταν νόμοι μου πρέπει να αποκατασταθούν.

      Η παρούσα διαταραχή δεν θα είναι της τάξης του μέλλοντος. Εξελίσσονται ή εξαφανίζονται.

      Λακεδαίμων… Εμείς ασπίδα αδελφοί μας, Ελευθερία ή θάνατος. Ekdromoi. Pa Taal.

      Desiderata

      Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
      and remember what peace there may be in silence.
      As far as possible without surrender
      be on good terms with all persons.

      Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
      and listen to others,
      even the dull and the ignorant;
      they too have their story.

      Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
      they are vexations to the spirit.
      If you compare yourself with others,
      you may become vain and bitter;
      for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

      No one ca be more advanced than another, along the line of a circle…
      Or a spiral,
      So go within or go without.

      Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
      Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
      it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

      Exercise caution in your business affairs;
      for the world is full of trickery.
      But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
      many persons strive for high ideals;
      and everywhere life is full of heroism.

      Be yourself.
      Especially, do not feign affection.
      Neither be cynical about love;
      for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
      it is as perennial as the grass.

      Take kindly the counsel of the years,
      gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
      Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
      But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
      Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

      Beyond a wholesome discipline,
      be gentle with yourself.
      You are a child of the universe,
      no less than the trees and the stars;
      you have a right to be here.

      And whether or not it is clear to you,
      no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
      Therefore be at peace with God,
      whatever you conceive Him to be,
      and whatever your labors and aspirations,
      in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

      With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
      it is still a beautiful world.

      You need not go through hell to live in heaven.

      Know yourself & you shall know god.

      Lycurgus was descended from Hercules, through eleven generations, and he was the second prince in one of the two royal families of Sparta.
      When his father and older brother died, Lycurgus stood to inherit the kingdom. However, his deceased brother had left a pregnant wife, and her child, if a boy, would be the rightful heir of the kingdom if he survived birth. This woman came to Lycurgus and offered to abort the child if Lycurgus would make her his queen.

      Lycurgus pretended to go along with her, and he convinced her not to risk her health by an abortion. Instead, he offered to do away with the child, and he gave strict orders to bring the child to him as soon as one was born. One day, as Lycurgus was feasting with some of the judges of Sparta, a new-born boy was brought in to him. "Men of Sparta," he said, taking it in his arms, "here is a king born to us." Then he laid the boy down in the place of honor and named him Charilaus, which means "joy of the people."

      The people of Sparta admired the character of this man who could lay down the supreme power so easily out of respect for justice, so it was easy for Lycurgus to rule the Spartans in his capacity as the guardian of Charilaus. However, the young king’s mother, and her relatives, envied and hated Lycurgus. Among other slanders, they accused Lycurgus of plotting the death of Charilaus.

      Lycurgus finally decided that the only way that he might avoid blame in case something should happen to the child would be to go travelling until Charilaus had grown up and fathered a son to secure the succession. Therefore, Lycurgus gave up all of his authority and went to the island of Crete.

      In Crete, Lycurgus met Thales the poet. Thales made his living as a musician at banquets, but in reality Thales was a teacher of civilization. His beautiful songs persuaded men to be fair and to act as brothers to each other. Good men, and the happiness they enjoyed, were what Thales sang about. His listeners would forget about their feuds and become united in a common admiration of virtue. Eventually, Lycurgus persuaded Thales to go to Sparta with his songs to prepare the people for the new way of life that he intended to introduce later.

      Lycurgus had carefully studied the forms of government in Crete, and had picked out what might be useful for Sparta. He also travelled to Ionia, to study the difference between the pleasure-loving Ionians and the sober Cretans, as doctors study the difference between the sick and the healthy.

      In Ionia, Lycurgus discovered the immortal works of Homer. Lycurgus compiled the scattered fragments of Homer and made sure that the serious lessons of statecraft and morality in Homer’s epics became widely known.

      The Egyptians claim that Lycurgus visited them too, and that it was from the Egyptians that he got the idea of separating the military from the menial workers, thereby giving Spartan society its refinement and beauty.

      * * *

      After Lycurgus had been absent for a while, the Spartans wrote and begged Lycurgus to come back. As they admitted, only Lycurgus was really a king in his heart, although the others wore a crown and claimed the title. He had the true foundation of sovereignty: a nature born to rule, and a talent for inspiring obedience. Even the Spartan kings wanted Lycurgus to return because they saw him as one who could protect them from the people.

      Lycurgus had already decided that some fundamental changes would have to be made in Sparta. When he returned, he did not merely tinker with the laws, but instead followed the example of a wise doctor treating a patient with many diseases, who changes the patient’s diet, compels him to exercise, and puts him in a whole new frame of mind.

      First, however, Lycurgus went to the oracle at Delphi 4 to ask for guidance. The oracle told Lycurgus that his prayers had been heard and that the state which observed the laws of Lycurgus would become the most famous in the world. With such an endorsement, Lycurgus went to the leading men of Sparta and enlisted their support.

      He began with his closest friends, then these friends widened the conspiracy by bringing in their own friends. When things were ripe for action, thirty of them appeared at dawn in the marketplace, fully armed for battle. At first, Charilaus thought they meant to kill him, and he ran for sanctuary in a temple, but eventually he joined the conspirators when he found out that all they wanted was to make sure there would be no opposition to the reforms Lycurgus had in mind.

      The first reform instituted by Lycurgus was a senate of twenty-eight men, who would have a power equal to the two royal houses of Sparta. The people had the right to vote on important questions, but the senate decided when a vote would be taken. As Plato puts it, a senate "allays and qualifies the fiery genius of the royal office" and gives some stability and safety to the commonwealth, like the ballast in a ship. Before, Sparta had oscillated between the extremes of democracy and tyranny: anarchy and dictatorship. With the addition of the senate, which resisted both extremes, the government became stable and the people and their rulers respected each other.

      Some further refinements of the Spartan constitution came after Lycurgus. It turned out that sometimes the public speakers would pervert the sense of propositions and thus cause the people to vote foolishly, so the senate reserved the right to dissolve the assembly if they saw this happening.

      A hundred and thirty years after the death of Lycurgus, a council of five ephors took executive power from the kings. When King Theopompus, in whose reign the ephors were established, was scolded by his wife for leaving his son less royal power than he had inherited, he replied: "No, it is greater, because it will last longer." With their decision-making power reduced, the Spartan kings were freed of the jealousy of the people. They never went through what happened in nearby Messene and Argos, where the kings held on so tight to every last bit of power that in the end they wound up losing it all.

      * * *

      After creating the senate, Lycurgus addressed the question of land ownership. At this time there was an extreme inequality among the Spartans, with most of the wealth and land in the control of only a few. Most of the people felt poor and unhappy. Arrogance and envy, luxury and crime, resulted from this unequal distribution of property. Lycurgus divided the land equally, so that merit — not money — became the only measure of a man’s worth.

      Lycurgus intended to remove any inequalities in ownership of personal property as well as real property, but he realized that it would be too difficult to proceed openly. Therefore, he took an indirect approach. His solution was to ban ownership of any gold or silver, and to allow only money made of iron. The iron coins of Sparta were dipped in vinegar to make the metal brittle and worthless. Merchants laughed at this money because it had no intrinsic value, so imports of luxuries stopped. Robbery and bribery vanished from Sparta instantly.

      All useless occupations were banned in Sparta. This law was hardly necessary, because along with gold and silver, all of the evil creatures that accompany them went away too. Who would come to practice fraud, fortune-telling, prostitution, jewelry, or the other trades of luxury and larceny, in a country where there was no gold and silver money? So luxury, deprived little by little of the fuel that fed it, gradually died out. The rich had no advantage over the poor because wealth was useless.

      The most effective measure against the love of money was Lycurgus’ law that all meals had to be eaten together at public mess-halls. Everyone ate the same thing, so money could not buy dainty food. And since the rich could not eat at home, there was no way for them to show off their fancy things. The rich could no longer spend their lives at home, lying on their couches and stuffing themselves with unwholesome delicacies, like pigs being fattened for slaughter. No longer could they ruin not only their minds but also their bodies, becoming so weak by lazy overindulgence that they needed long sleep, warm baths, and about as much care as if they were constantly sick.

      This law was more than the rich could stand, so one day they got together and complained. Angry words were followed by rocks, and Lycurgus had to run for his life. He managed to outrun all of his assailants except one young man named Alcander. When Lycurgus turned to see who was behind him, Alcander hit him in the face with a stick, blinding one eye. The others caught up and saw Lycurgus with his bloody face and ruined eye. They were ashamed at what Alcander had done, and they gave him to Lycurgus for punishment. Lycurgus thanked them for saving him, then he took Alcander into his house as his servant.

      In this position, Alcander had a chance to see how gentle and hard-working Lycurgus was, and from being an enemy he became an admirer and a friend. Alcander told his friends and relatives that Lycurgus was not as bad as they thought he was, but rather the most gentle man in the world. Thus did Lycurgus make this wild and violent young man one of the best citizens of Sparta.

      * * *

      The public mess-halls were divided into tables of fifteen men. Each man was required to bring a quota of food and wine every month. The Spartans would send their children to these tables as to a school of wisdom. There, they would listen to the men discuss the business of the state, and they learned how to talk politely and to the point like men. Especially important was giving and taking jokes with good humor. To insure frankness, the oldest man said to each of them as they came in: "Through this (pointing at the door) no words go out."

      Whenever anyone requested to be admitted to one of these little societies, the members took a vote on him by secret ballot. Each member threw a ball of dough into a bowl, and signified disapproval by squashing the ball flat. If any ball in the bowl had been squashed, the candidate failed.

      * * *

      The laws of Lycurgus purported to be utterances of the Delphic oracle, and were called rhetra. One law was that the law should never be put in writing. Spartan law would therefore have to be imprinted in the minds of the citizens through good education, and if the education were good enough, then law would be superfluous. Wise judges would always keep the law’s spirit fresh.

      As for commercial law, Lycurgus was unwilling to prescribe rules for business. He preferred to let questions be decided by wise judgment rather than by specious reasoning based on interpretations of writings. In this way, the law adapted naturally to changing circumstances.

      Another rhetra that, at first glance, seems bizarre — but which on close examination turns out to be wise — was that the ceilings of houses in Sparta had to be made using only an axe, and the gates and doors only with a saw. Rough wood in these two places made fancy furniture look anomalous. Lycurgus knew that the people would make their beds and other furniture to match this rustic look, and all other household articles would match these.

      * * *

      The most important job of any lawgiver, in Lycurgus’ opinion, was the proper education of the young. He began at the very beginning, with the marriages that produced the children that were to be educated.

      Girls were required to run and exercise so that their babies would grow in strong and healthy mothers. To make them brave, Lycurgus ordered that occasionally the girls had to dance and sing naked in front of all the young men. Therefore the girls were ashamed to be fat or weak, and they were happy to display their beauty to such an appreciative audience. In their songs, the girls praised the men who were brave and strong, and they made fun of those who were weak and cowardly, so they sharpened the men’s love of glory and fear of shame. Thus the women of Sparta got a taste of higher feelings, being in this way admitted to the field of action.

      The Spartan women were good judges of manhood. A foreign lady once remarked to the wife of a Spartan commander that the women of Sparta were the only women in the world who could rule men. "We are the only women who raise men," the Spartan lady replied.

      The public performances of the young ladies naturally had their effect on the young men, but the meetings of the lovers had to be in secret.

      When the young man reached the age of thirty, the couple was allowed to live together openly and to set up a household. With seeing each other so difficult and rare, they always came together with a healthy appetite for love. And when they parted, it was always early enough that there was no disgust from being together too long. There was always some desire left unsatisfied.

      Jealousy was forbidden. If two men liked the same woman, it was a reason for them to be friends, not enemies. With certain limitations against irresponsible passion, Lycurgus made it honorable for a man to lend his wife to another man so as to get good seed from him. He wanted the children of Sparta to be produced by the best men, so that their good qualities might be passed on. In Lycurgus’ opinion, children were not the property of their parents but members of the society. The laws of other nations about children seemed absurd and inconsistent to him. Why should a man be so careful about the breeding of his dogs and his horses, and even pay stud fees to get good offspring, but insist on his wife having children only by himself? Obviously, the bad qualities of this father would be passed on to his children and he would be their first victim, whereas children of good men would be a blessing rather than a curse to the man who gave them a home.

      Plutarch made a good account. What will history make of your life? Who will tell your story?

      When the change comes & the labors of humanity are few, model the laudable aspects of the Spartan ways. Make good note of them & live a good life. Thomas Paine wrote: I am a citizen of the world & my religion is to do good. These are our ways.

      Of course, much of their way was flawed, enslaving the native Helots & forcing them to work the land… that was wrong. There was another way.

      This was not the intention of Lycurgus. Our children are taught what to think. They must be taught how to think for themselves. So much of society is focussed on distraction. We must focus on education. I see many men in suits who are steered by the love of money to the point that laws are created to benefit those with the most money. Secret societies are nothing new. Subjugating the people is no innovation either. Though since the glory days or Greece & the Periclean age, your governments have become highly adept at deception over the masses. There is no refuge in subterfuge. Everyone that did the thing which you call die, is still here now.

      Greece is a wraith… Democracy is a sham, controlled & motivated by money, wealth & dominion over others. The Venus Project is like your future… artificial lands will be created in the oceans. Technology will save many & it will destroy many. But you see no one can truly kill a thing. Nothing in the universe dies, it only changes form. We are not beings of flesh. We are not human beings sometimes having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings at all times… having a human experience.

      Change is on the way. Stand with us as one.

      11 11 11

      Let all men be their brother’s guardian & all women be a mighty phalanx. A shield wall, letting only the good men through. This is our way.

      Cast your senses to the past. Learn from it. Let us create our future in the grandest vision & the highest version of who we are. That we may stand as one people no matter our apparent divisions. I see no separation.

      I have seen the destiny of this race & it is good. You will join your celestial brethren, trace your origin to the Harp of Lyra & dance to the tune of the stars at the speed of thought. You will explore the garden of the omniverse, creating life in your own image, because you will evolve to god. You will be a many coloured race…

      Hold this vision, no matter what may confront you. All on your journey is your destination.

      I have walked like the wolf all my lives. War. Music. Dance. Art. Justice.

      I have loved throughout, died a thousand deaths & still I am here… as are you.

      Your story will be told forever.

      Go in peace friend.
