SAY NO TO EMPLOYMENT
In today’s world of digital technologies, social media, and data revolution, it is easy to observe how people think, spend their lives, and the definition of success in their par view.
Upon having a holistic look over the mindset of the majority of the people around the world, we acquire the fact that everyone wants to be educated, to be employed, to get married, to become parents, earns more money to raise children, and finally retire with a nominal amount of pension and wait for the last breath.
However, living life like a cycle of fulfilling social responsibilities is not enough to feel and experience freedom, happiness, and financial stability.
Thus, so many successful people in this world took the risk of leaving employment and started building their own brand or company, which ultimately gave them a unique identity, and they are carrying a legacy that will remain alive for centuries after their departure.
People like Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack ma and many others are the best examples of proven success because they all gave preference to building something of their own instead of investing their time, energy, mental & physical abilities working for someone else whole life and then end up with limited resources and a handful of money.
So, what are you waiting for? Please act upon my humble advice and pick up a pen and paper and start writing down how many years of physical and mental strength and ability to work terribly hard you are left with?
Before you lose physical and mental strength, you must build something that will benefit you in terms of financial stability and freedom in life when you will be in your 50’s or 60’s,. You for god’s sake, forget about retiring as it is an older version of living an ordinary life.
As I advocate ‘Book Reading,’ let me support my viewpoint with the No. 1 New York Times Bestseller book named “THE 4-HOUR WORK WEEK” by Timothy Ferriss. This book basically elaborates the same idea I am trying to convince you in this blog post.
Let me conclude with golden words said by the biggest American business tycoon and investor, Mr. Warren Buffett:
“IF YOUR SALARY IS YOUR ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME, YOU ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM POVERTY”
