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.

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. 😄
