Life Changing Mindset

How can I get rid of this ugly attitude? I am a 13 year old kinda over-privileged kid with this very nasty attitude. I always have the mindset of "I want to follow technology". I have these things: Xbox 360 Elite A Powerful Desktop PC but needs reformatting Dell Inspiron 1440 on Windows 7 Sharp Aquos 32" LCD Screen TV iPod Touch 3G 32GB A decent slide-mechanism phone And recently I heard of this new iPod Touch 4G which is coming out soon and I really wanted it but then I thought twice about asking my dad to buy one for me. My divorced parents are struggling for a stable finance and yet they care about buying me these things. And I also have this mindset that someone would come up to me and say: "Haha I have an iPhone and you only have that piece of crap". And I didn't want that to happen so I always tried my best to keep up with technology and etc. But It is a really nasty attitude. And I don't really think anyone would care about me having only an iPod or someone mocking me is highly unlikely but if that ever happens, I'm pretty sure someone would kick the guy's ass if he overheard it. So I want to get rid of the attitude. I want to be contented with what I have. My friend also told me that technology is corruption and makes people lazy. So I hope someone can help me get rid of the attitude. It always makes me regret things over and over again and I don't want my parents to keep getting stressed because of me. Help! :(

I am insulted that people make accusations of the DPRK while citing outdated research? For example, "there is no food", "there is no electricity," "all of the housing goes to the party elite; the rest of the population live in mudhuts." We have to give some background to how any potential problems might've come in the first place. When the USSR collapsed in 1991, that was DPRK's funding finished for many social projects; but it did feel strongly and adamantly that to drive off the path of socialism was to die, which is of course not any dirty American imperialist's right to otherwise change in the mindset of the people or sabotage in their efforts, both of which have been constantly-employed tactics. DPRK stopped getting free oil from Russia and cheap oil from China; this caused inputs into agricultural sectors to decline and thus, productivity stagnated for the first 3 years, while declining in the mid-90s due to droughts and floods. This may've killed, and this is a conservative estimate by the DPRK's own department of agriculture, 100,000 people. 3,000,000 is an over-exaggeration, for the UN's WFO used statistical methods like extrapolating the worst hit province over the rest of the country as an estimated average, which is of course fallacious. Not to mention, many housing projects and factories went into disrepair, partly because the Eastern European market for exports had moved on, but also because of the US embargo, stopping investment even if the DPRK wanted to open up; however, many people have broken protocol despite being driven by the US imperialist puppet-masters, such as the Egyptian telecommunications company Orascom. It is investing to reconstruct the Ryugyong hotel while providing 3G free of use to the working proletariat; 380,000 handsets have already circulated the country in the past year alone. So that has left things, and rightfully so, to the Juche spirit, policies, determination and economic construction plans of the working people as represented by the Supreme People's Assembly and at a local level through provincial worker's councils. They have, since 1999, been embarking on many economic projects, from the restoration of theremologically-driven power plants to the reconstruction of housing estates and railways. The growth has been impressive by many's eyes. Most of the famine that did occur in the country had largely finished by the Arduous March era's close, in 1998, when the Korean Worker's Party had announced that all problems in the sector of food production has been resolved by the Songun-oriented military-economy now in place. (Contrary to western understanding, Songun is not giving the military first priority, it is holding the military accountable as the first and upstarting influence in the economy.) Production of food saw real qualitative and quantitative gains, now that the military had a role in assisting the worker's construction efforts; such a collaboration between army and people is traditional in the Juche-songun culture and continues to this day. Housing projects and factories are completed entirely due to this effort. In the next 10 years, Dear Comrade, Secretary General of the Worker's Party of Korea, Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army and Chairman of the National Defense Commision Kim Jong-il, has put in legislation through the Supreme People's Assembly to earmark $100 billion of funding in infrastructural, economical and social projects, such as roads, housing estates, new factories and power plants -- the vast majority of these to be hydro-electric, given the reduced dependability on the coal supply of the nation over the years. It is as a result that in Pyongyang there is now 24 hour a day flowing electricity, and outside of the country, electricity is permitted during the night for heating purposes and during the peak hours of the afternoon (after school and work) for study and recreational purposes. Electricity production will soon be increased to a level that'll allow for its continued use in all provinces, city-centers and villages throughout the day. The food ration has seen a considerable increase from the end of the Arduous March to the present day, with the average worker's ration growing 63% (from 200g to 326g) and the average armyman's ration growing by 33% (350g to 516g). Most of the diet no longer consists of basic staples such as Maize, but rice, noodles and a variety of vegetables, as well as occasional meat, are now also consistent of the nutritional make-up that the average citizen consumes. In the DPRK, as the country has a zero-percent tax rate, all citizens keep their income due to the responsibility of the state's role in the provision of tangible goods and services; the revenues of these are what consist of the nation's revenue, not taxation, which is an antiquaint concept of the American bourgeois society. Now will you stop lying, please? It hurts me very much as a comrade
