I Quit

 


Sooner or later, you will quit your job. 

If you are a person like me, who gets bored by doing similar things, changes the interest frequently, doesn’t have the correct skill set your job requires, or does not get paid enough for what you are doing, you will quit.

Here’s a simple job quitting formula I found 

1. old job + old skill = old money 

explanation: If you are doing the same work daily and you have the same skill for this job, you will end up making the same money for years, or maybe a minor salary hike. And you will quit to get more money in a new job. 

2. new job + old  skill = new money + frustration 

explanation: - if you somehow changed your job and got a new salary, but this job needs a new skill set which you don't have or are unable to learn quickly. You end up getting frustrated and will quit the job, or get fired. 

3. old job + new  skill = old money + boredom

explanation: - Now you have upgraded your skillset, but you still have the same old work to do on daily basis where you cannot utilise your new skills. You get bored soon and will get the same money so you will quit. 

4. new job + new  skill = new money + excitement

explanation: - this is the only formula that can keep you in the job for a long time. if you are upgrading your skill regularly and getting new challenges in the job, you will not get bored and will get good pay with a good hike every year.  but this is a continuous process by learning new skills regularly if you want to earn more and more money year after year. 

and don't worry, you will never run out of new skills to learn because every day new things are discovered and new technologies are built. Companies are ready to pay more money to the person who can learn new things and help them deploy. 

but as I said "learning and earning is a never-ending process" and it's never enough too. you should keep your energy high if you want to earn well for a long time. 


Now, allow me to share my personal experience as a quitter. 

I hate my current job. This was not the case before. When I joined my current company or any previous companies, I was hired for a particular skill set in which I was fully trained by my courses/Training/Study I did, and I was ready to take any new challenge by learning more about it. 

I was excited, because every day I was solving the problems with help of my old and new knowledge, and appreciation and money were following. But over time I got too busy solving day to day problems that I could not upgrade my knowledge by the speed new technology arrived in the market. and due to lack of knowledge, either I am not able to solve the new problems or just not doing anything more valuable for the team or my company. and this frustrates me more that I am not doing for which I am being paid. Money is still following but not the appreciation.

There was a time, when one day if I will not do something productive in my 8 hrs job, I felt unsatisfied, thinking I did not do what the company is paying me for, and now I am passing weeks after weeks months after month with this un satisfactions. And yes, now I don’t have that much patience or interest to learn something which will change more rapidly than it changed previously. 

Finally, I decided to QUIT.

Wealth is created not by money, but by mindset

Image
M ost of us claim to want to be rich, but in reality, we don’t. We merely desire money to spend on our desires and fulfil our wants, only to lose it again. Essentially, we want to appear and feel wealthy rather than actually be rich. Being money-rich means having a substantial amount of money available without the need to spend it. How can one become wealthy if they continue earning and spending the same amount, resulting in a zero bank balance? If asked what they would do with a one-crore rupee, people would list their desired purchases, such as a car, a flat, a mobile phone, and jewellery. However, no one would say they would do nothing with the money because they don’t need to spend it. In contrast, the second type of person would be one-crore rupee richer than the first because the first person has already spent all their money on their desired purchases, leaving their bank balance at zero. Nevertheless, the second person still has one-crore rupee. Now, if the person who stil...

It's Rich People's Game

  I nvesting, Thinking, Reading, Meditating and  Leisure  are activities that are often associated with wealth and privilege. While money is certainly a form of wealth, true richness lies in time and mental well-being. It’s important to distinguish between "Richness" and merely having a lot of money. Time-rich and mind-rich individuals are often more valuable than those who are solely focused on financial gain. A mind-rich person can easily generate money and time, while a time-rich person can easily acquire money and a rich mind if they choose to. This is because time-rich individuals can utilise their time effectively by working hard and reading mindfully. This concept is similar to the power, sex, and money triad that has dominated the world for centuries and is likely to continue doing so. Whoever possesses one of these elements can often easily obtain the other two. Sex has historically been used to control power and money, money has been used to buy sex and po...

It's a Short Life

Image
If you’re already old enough like me, then you’re left with approximately seven thousand days of your life. Why I am saying this? Let’s say an average active human life is 60 years when he will be able to walk, run, recover from illness quickly, or enjoy outdoor activities. And now you do the math.  60 years are 21900 days, 40 years are 14600 days, and 20 years are just 7300 days to live an active life. That too when we are not dying by any illness or accident before time. Life year  day per year total days active life 60 365 21900 expnded 40 365 14600 balance 20 365 7300 Isn't it surprising to know that everybody got an average of 21900 days to live on?  If we talk in terms of money then 21900 rupees feels very less and 7300 is nothing. I must expend every rupee of my life carefully because I am already 40 now. 😄
