It's Rich People's Game

Investing, 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 power, and pow...

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.

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 upgrad...

Nothing Is Parmanent

Now, I’m fully convinced that “Nothing is permanent,” not even the people or interests of people. I don’t know about others, so I shouldn’t generalize, but this is what I’ve realized about myself. Everything I thought I was interested in or loved to do is no longer true. Passion: When I was in school, I was fascinated by electronic gadgets. I loved opening them up to see how they worked and tried to fix the non-working ones, or at least figure out what was wrong. Desire: When I reached college, I became more interested in making money. I hated asking my parents for money because I thought they didn’t have enough. So, I combined my love of electronic gadgets with my desire to make money and learned mobile phone repairing. I started working in that field and, yes, I made good money for a while, about four or five years. Respect: Slowly, I started to hate the idea of being a mobile repairer or a mobile mechanic for the rest of my life. I began to think of a white-collar job where I wou...
