Hindsight is 20-20

One of the things I am often asked to do by friends [and some acquaintances as well] whenever I get the chance to communicate with them is to find them a job here. Like that's easy, eh? But that's beside my point here. My point is there are still so many people [especially from the 3^rd world countries] who want to come here hoping for a better life. I personally don’t encourage it because I know it’s not as easy as they think it is. Still, I can only offer my personal view. It’s still their decision if they really want to come here. So I wasn’t surprised when a former colleague emailed me recently telling me that he ‘may’ be coming here either late this year or early next year. He is a teacher and we used to work in the same school and eversince I moved here, he has always asked me to find him a job. I guess he was able to find a way to come here because he IS coming in a few months. He is now busy looking for Dallas Homes For Sale because that’s where he’s going. He of course heard that now is a good time to look [and probably buy] a house because of the low prices.

I can understand why he’s looking into Dallas Real Estate right now. He is probably very excited since he’s been wanting to come here for the longest time. I just wish he’d wait until he gets here before he actually buys a house. He said he is only looking at Dallas Homes for Sale and not buying one yet. I sure hope he’s not…not yet anyway. I don’t want him to jump into anything because of his excitement in coming over. I don’t think he knows the magnitude of relocating not only him but his whole family. Sadly, I have one too many friends who came here with their family in tow only to realize they should have waited until they themselves are settled in a new land before petitioning their loved ones. But as the saying goes…hindsight is 20-20…
