Good Intentions are not good intentions.

I've never liked good intentions.  For the most part good intentions are meant for the person giving it to get a feel good, pat in the back, emotional high.  Being on the receiving end of so many good intentions.  Most of them sucked.  Majority have not helped me one bit.  More often than not, it set me back on what I wanted to do or how I liked things done.  

Here's an example, On "MY" ranch, and I say, it's my ranch because not many people either family or friends, help out with MY ranch.  ALL of them like to enjoy the harvest of my fruits and labor.  But when it comes time to help, they run away...too busy with other things.  

So please, keep your good intentions to yourself.  I'd rather that you pray for me and the success and sustainability of my ranch, than for you to "help" with good intentions. 

Also, I am not seeking unsolicited advice.  I've been to too many agriculture seminars that if the College of Agriculture wanted me to teach.  I probably will be able to teach a really good seminar.  I've learned up-to-date techniques based on science and experiences from other successful ranchers on Guahan to know what I'm doing is correct.  

Where are your mangoes, bananas, pineapples, goat production?  MY ranch may not look like much now.  But it's getting there.  There was a reason why I let it go fallow for 3 years.  My clients can attest to my past production, as will my future clients.  

So until I see you sweating next to me, with a fusinius in your hands.  Keep your good intentions and comments to yourself.

KEEP SMILING.
