Introduction/Quick Thoughts
Thank you so very much for visiting my blog!
My name is Blake Gates and I have long prided myself in the knowledge that I have gained through the very short years of my very short life. I am currently 22 years of age but I feel considerably older. Which, you start to feel that way when all you surround yourself with are people sometimes much older than yourself.
Something else that brings me happiness? Entrepreneurialism. Nothing else gets me more excited than the idea of owning businesses and watching them flourish. Well, not necessarily “watching” them per se. I like to be involved. I also believe that the modern free-trade world needs more younger money-makers and more younger politicians and policy-makers to really make some changes that are going to be good for the commonwealth of the people. Not the commonWEALTH of old politician’s wallets. Do we really need or want a 70-year old man or woman that’s been in Congress for 8 terms to decide what is best for this rapid, ever-changing-dot-com point in time that has become known as the Information Age? I sure don’t. I can say this; I know that my Grandfather is definitely NOT the person I want in charge of running my life. It is not fair to them and it is not fair to us.
…. Whew. That was close. It’s my very first post/introduction and I’m already off on a tangent….
I’m looking to accomplish a couple things here at my blog…
- To shed a new intellectual and young “light” on the likes of the government, business, and politics. Something I believe this country needs very badly.
- To make people aware of certain changes, whether good or bad, that is happening across the United States and the rest of the World in the aforementioned categories.
- To give insight on what it’s like to be a 22-year old successful entrepreneur.
- Stay tuned as I am sure there will be more!
Again, thank you so very much for visiting! Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions for topics of discussion. The title of this blog really describes why and how I plan to write this blog. It is a formation of mental objects. There is constant introspection in my life and I wish to share this with you all.
Regards,
Blake Gates
Well, I am so very impressed with you and your intellect. I look forward to reading more about your life’s adventures and your insight, wisdom, and knowledge about all of the above mentioned topics. You do seem to be wise beyond your years. You always have been! I have been amazed by you from the minute you were born. I am so very proud Blake. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. Old and enquiring minds want to know!! Love You more than you will ever know! Mom
From the perspective of a 70 year old, like your grandfather, you appear to be wise beyond your years. I’m all for the entrepreneurial spirit and have recently published a book and started guest appearances to share my experiences and help others avoid some of the mistakes I made along the way.
Good luck on all of your endeavors; you seem to be on the right path.
Wow! Thank you so very much! I look forward to continuing discussion with you!
