What are some of the lesser known inspirational stories of nba players (3)?
Gilbert Arenas was born to a teenage girl who was not ready to be a mother. Although she tried to raise him on her own, she hung out with her friends and ended up in police custody. Authorities quickly realized the lack of care for the young Arenas, so they decided to place him in a local foster home, but only after obtaining the consent of the father, who has the right. Arenas' biological father, who was also an older boy, was working in an auto parts store at the time, and the authorities gave him only a rough description of what they were going to do for Arenas, but his father recalled his childhood, when he was raised by his mother, and remembered the lack of a father. So he decided to do the right thing -- raise his two-year-old son alone. Arenas was a star baseball player at Memorial High School in Florida. After attending the University of Miami, where he was drafted to the all-American football team, a serious leg injury forced an early end to his playing career. There was no way out. Arenas' father became an actor by virtue of his good looks and physique. After becoming a small celebrity in the area, Arenas decided to take his son to Los Angeles for a bigger career, and the two packed their belongings into a car and headed west. When they arrived in Hollywood, they found that the rules were different from Miami, where landlords required a $1,000 deposit, but his father couldn't come up with it, so they spent three nights in their car before finally applying for a shelter at the YMCA. For Arenas' father, his next priority was to find a steady job. My father approached the manager of a local furniture store, who didn't want to hire him, but the basketball-obsessed manager finally relented when he saw the seven-year-old Arenas dribbling down and down the road at the side of the car, and he got the job because of his son's casual talent show. After quitting his job at the furniture store, Arenas' father joined a delivery company, and his nights were spent auditioning for TV shows. Arenas hired an agent to find auditions for him, and his hard work paid off. Perhaps because of his father's limited discipline energy and his own inability to channel it, the playful Arenas quickly became a "demon" in the neighborhood, often playing pranks. At the age of 11, Arenas finally made basketball his number one interest. When his father went out to work at night, he would play ball all night. He soon became a regular at the local courts. As a pastime, my father became the coach of a local amateur team where most of the kids were older than Arenas, so Arenas spent most of his time on the bench, but my father explained that it was all about winning, not getting his son playing time. Arenas quit that team in a fit of pique and joined another, where he later scored 15 points against his father's team. In 2002, Arenas' mother tried to recognize him, but Arenas only politely kissed her on the cheek.

Finale Of "Uncontrolled Substances" Podcast
We know from recent experience what happens when someone or some entity claims to have a novel solution that is “groundbreaking.” Think Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, where she claimed to have developed a blood test that used surprisingly small volumes of blood, such as a fingerprick. Holmes will begin serving an 11-year sentence jail sentence next spring and her partner, Ramesh Balwani, was just sentenced to 13 years in prison.

How To Be An Independent Thinker.
Mind works on the principle of senses. What we see is what we think. What we hear is what we think. Even what we smell is what we think. It also works on the principle of what we have been through in life e.g. if I had a fight recently I will be angry on little things. So the effect of external environment highly determines the mindset of most people in the world.

Lost In Their Minds.
Once upon a time I went to the market. I saw many people, some buying fruits, some eating, some cleaning the floor, some calling their loved ones, some were laughing and some about to cry. I saw one thing which was common. I.e. all of them were lost. Only some were actually thinking about what they were doing. Most of them were lost in their minds. Some thinking about how to widen their business. Some how to get a job. Some dreaming of a trip. Some how to get promoted. All of them had thoughts and least of them had right thoughts. I found that the solution for all of those minds was to have right thoughts. But what are right thoughts? Rights thoughts are not the genius ideas or the thoughts of high quality. Right thoughts are the thoughts about what we are doing right now. Because if we have thoughts about anything other than what we are doing, that adds up into stress and most of us then loose the control of our minds and get mad. We cannot solve problems while working. So to think what we are doing right now, I believe are the thoughts of highest quality and thinking about what we are doing gives quality. Example if I'm making a bread and I'm having thoughts about how to make the best bread, I will make the best one. If I will think about anything else, I will make the bread which I was making from years, means I will never improve. So thoughts about present gives quality as well as improvement. Now you may ask this question to yourself, why don't all of us think rightly? I belive most of the minds don't love to think about what we actually are doing. Because that creates a type of mental pressure, which only some do handle. Mind never loves to suffer, it always tries to escape from that pressure. To escape that pressure sometimes it starts to imagine of the better circumstances or have the thoughts about what happened recently. But those who handle this mental pressure never stop improving and they have better control on their lives. Because this pressure means actually our mind is learning new things or improving what we already know. So having right thoughts or presence of mind actually can make us the better thinkers or we can say right thinkers and help us to not get lost. Now the question arises isn't it important sometimes to get lost?

Trying To Talk To Someone
Today, I was going to submit another story. On second thought, Why can’t I submit two articles on the same day on Medium? There are no rules that say you must submit one article. It is not the best practice, and you can still do what is called “Batch” or “Stack” writing. It is when you prepare a bunch of articles for publishing, and then you set a schedule, a timetable on when you will publish them. I have seen a lot of articles on the method, which I will be doing in 2023 for all three platforms (Medium, Hubpages, and Vocal Media).
