ADSactly on ADSACTLY - Value Of Time - Part 3

milano1113 (58) 7 years ago (edited)

You work daily and have no time left to spend the money you make.

That’s true!

...Unless you find utmost joy in working for your employer and make your work the meaning of your life (what every employer would love to see),...

I’m owner of small business. My goal is not only make my customers happy and satisfied, but also appreciate the time of my employees. Unfortunately with all expenses and competitiveness in my trade it’s impossible to give them what they actually deserve, not in a long therm. This may lead to less productivity and lower wages. It’s like a domino you can’t avoid. So my question is “how do we value our time?” Im talking about “time” not the quality of product we spend our time on.

We very well know that governments print money when there is a need for it.

That’s what I’m concerned about the most. I see careless printing in US just to keep stock market and bonds afloat. Careless money printing not only destroys the value of our currency, It also increases the inflation. Today we can witness price increases in everyday necessities and at the same time the wages are staggering. Most people would tell you they don’t feel their time is really appreciated and blame it on employer. In most cases, it’s just not true.
When you mentioned guaranteed income, it’s nice for people just to imagine it. In long therm I don’t believe it’s the right solution. People are humans and they tend to become greedy, to want more or to take advantage of the situation.

Working for others - Yes! Working for yourself - No!

When you work for others you help achieve other people dreams and goals. So you are wasting all your life and time. Yes, you get paid. But what’s the point? Money isn’t so valuable. You are living other people plan not yours. Most valuable thing ever is your TIME! Sometimes seems people have forget it.

However when you work for yourself you don’t waste your time. You live your own plan. You are doing things for yourself. Do what you love in your life!

Then you ask “ But why then everyone don’t work for themselves?”

Because it’s easier to work for others. It’s not so challenging. You just do the job and you get paid.

Life structure for most of people is - Go to school - go to college - get job (most of time working for others ) - working rest of their lives - create family - die.

You know you have the power to change it and build your own life structure! Think outside of the box!

I think you could work for others only for one reason - to make a living while you are working on your own thing at the beginning.

And if you go work for others for some time, search the job that’s is related to your passion, dream. The job from you can learn things that will help you to build your own thing!

You work full time on your job. Part time on your own thing.
When you earn from your part time thing as much as you earn from your full time job change it.
Work Part time on your full time job and part time of your own thing. When you earn 2x more in your own part time thing then job leave the job and live your passion full time rest of your life!

Good afternoon, friends of @adsactly, I would like to speak from my point of view in a very personal way and what I have lived through so far as a 17 year old Venezuelan, my parents have been trying to give me a private and quality education in my home since I was very young (for those who don't know the best education in Venezuela is private, that is at a general average level or as they popularly know it, "bachelor's degree", at university level things change).

My parents have instilled in me since I was a child that life is a cycle, that I can chart my destiny, my mother on the one hand has told me that I must study hard to become someone, that is, study, graduate and then work honestly to get my things, as she has done every climb, on the other hand my father has instilled in me that I must know how to manage my time, that I can have my own business and own my own time, my father's advice has pleased me more, since since since I was a child I have had very pronounced traits of being a leader and I am prepared for when my opportunity comes.

As I told you in your previous post, there are words that mark us as people, I was marked by my father's words:

If you make money doing what you like, you'll never have to work, even when you get tired, but if you make money doing something you don't love, your job will be a conviction, so don't get tired.

Sometimes we waste our time on things that are not only not really necessary, but that we are not interested in, I have decided to go against the logic of my mother and father to some extent, I have refuted my mother's logic to such an extent that it no longer touches me and tells me to do something that really makes me happy, And my father's because I add that I can earn money doing what I like and from the comfort of my home, and then I could set up my own businesses, all that I tell you is not in vain, I do not want to work alone for myself, at some point in my life I know that I want to become ruler of my country and implement my strategic plan, to get my Venezuela out of this crisis that we live today.

I honestly didn't value time before, and today I'm about to graduate and I value it more than ever, because I know that I won't be in a classroom every day with my classmates between laughter and laughter, but since life is made up of stages, this is one that is about to end and fills me with a lot of nostalgia.

I look forward to the continuation of this post, friends of @adsactly, this type of post captivates people, even more so those who like me are loyal readers of your community, I look forward to part 4 of the value of time.

Greetings from Venezuela, my friends, we are continually supporting you!!

Hello friends @adsactly I hope you are well!!

We certainly have the same perspective on time. We are all taught from an early age that we must study, graduate from high school, start college and get a degree... Because this is supposed to make us "successful" in life.

But the fact is that schools and universities only somehow prepare us to be slaves in an office, working 8 hours a day for a salary, to survive in a world that is driven by money.

And this is where the value of time comes in....

We spend our whole lives fulfilling our obligations and responsibilities... But when do we have the time to do the things that make us really happy? We all have dreams and goals.... Personally my dream is to be a professional singer and also to be an expert trader... I love business and investment.

But what if we decide to follow the same path that most people decide to take? Most decide to study, graduate from college, and secure an office job, where they will work 8 hours a day for wages, for their next 30 to 40 years, before retiring.

They never had or will have the time to do what really makes them happy.... This is why we must be the purple cow, differentiate ourselves from others and try to fulfill our dreams and goals. That I personally believe is the mission that all people have in life. Strive to fulfill your dream and stand out from the rest. Or at least that's my personal opinion.

Each person sees the world in a different way.... But I, at just 19 years of age, believe that I fully understand how the world and its economic system work. Though it may not seem so, we are slaves to society. This is why I strive every day to fulfill my dreams and achieve financial independence.

In this regard, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

In the next sequel, we'll talk about ways of earning within the current system but not working for a boss.

I look forward to that sequel.

Thank you for publishing such good content @adsactly. A greeting!!

a very good post @adsactly, this article can be a great motivation for all of us in living this life. Speaking of time, sometimes we do not realize that we have wasted a lot of time just to no avail, and not get anything useful for our lives, every time we spend. If only the time we spend on the job is fine, because it will get the result, and we can enjoy it when we are old.

As the saying goes, "time is money". Therefore, we should be able to use that time to create something useful for our lives, so that we can create happiness in our lives. If not, then we will always have a hard life, because time will never wait for us, we are the ones who have to chase the time. In essence, use this time to be able to produce something useful for our lives, and for our future. Thanks for sharing @adsactly, and hopefully you will be more successful to work...!

I guess another way of looking at this is asking yourself what are you making progress on, and does that progress mean something? For some people, maybe they have a choice of working and their job is helping other people do their jobs more efficiently, ultimately helping a business be more efficient. Then the alternative is to not worry about money, and maybe they like to play a lot of video games. When given these two choices as the likeliest options, it's up to each person to decide what has more meaning... Is it work more, and play less (but it's not no play), or is it play a lot and do basically no work? Maybe working for the business isn't the favorite thing to do but it has many aspects that are at least interesting, it's not so black and white.

That said, many interesting and valuable jobs probably don't get a lot of money even if they take a lot of effort; it's nice to be appreciated for doing a hard job. Spending time to say clean up the environment is a great investment but it's hard for an individual to see the long term benefits until, well, they wait a long time and in that time they need to keep cleaning things up. I'm sure this is very hard to devote oneself to doing unless they had more incentive... Money may just be paper but it can help a lot with motivating people to do important but really dirty tasks... What comes to mind are the brave plumbers who break up "fatbergs" in the London sewers, that's such a gross phenomenon...

In modern times, the meaning of the saying: "Time is money" nep has lost its relevance. Everyone decides for himself who he wants to be. That is, you can be a workaholic or be "free". But it is impossible to live in a society and be completely free from the rules of this society. This is considered a divergent behavior and does not receive approval. In any society, there are rules and regulations. But all that we unite is the need to have money. Money - it's like air in an integrated society. Without them it is impossible to live. Everything has its price and that to have the opportunity you need money. To have money you need to work. To have more opportunities you need to work even harder and harder. But in this case we are faced with a paradox. You spend time and energy to make money, and as a result we do not have time and health to fully enjoy this money. Moreover, workaholics are prone to disease in particular. Nervous and physical system. Therefore, it turns out to be a vicious circle.

But there are people who choose a different path. But as you mentioned, this way depends on the state system. For example, in one country you can be unemployed and receive for this allowance. This manual is enough to satisfy your basic needs. And in another country you will be unemployed and at the same time you will be a debtor to your state. I think you know what country I'm talking about. Therefore, it is a medal with two sides.

Nevertheless, an excellent topic for discussion. I'm sure this will direct people's thoughts in the right direction.

Liked your post. I'm interested in time and it's efficient use. 'If you want a job done give it to a busy person', because they are better organisers of their time.

We all start with the same 24 hours in the day. In the past just meeting our basic needs filled most of those hours.

There wasn't sufficient time or energy left from making a living to give thought to ways and means of ending the cycle.To getting off the worktime treadmill with sufficient drive left to think creatively.

90% of time was spent earning a living,and weariness meant the 10% remaining was not conducive for creative thought to improve their situation. It was catch 22.

A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradiction.An example is:"How am I supposed to get a job if I'm constantly turned down because I haven't got a job !

But when the breakthrough came in the work leisure balance the situation began to reverse,and will continue to do so I think with artificial intelligence and robots serving most human needs.

The good old ADSactly on ADSactly. I am reading these series already, and I'm way forward. But I really love when you post it so I can read it again and remember something new that I didn't already.

Finally today, I have some time in the morning to do what I want! So probably I'm not managing time well, or I need to find something that will allow me to manage time better.

I'm glad I joined ADSactly, firstly because I was looking for this kind of society in 2009, and I was fighting actively against this world system. But I found out that many people in my country don't like that. They are still blind to what is really happening, and they are not taught how to fight for the community, unfortunately. So, I kinda gave up, better to say - I put it on the side.

Now, first thing I remembered when I joined ADSactly, is how time is valuable. Nobody can give it back to me and it's worth so much. Before I would do anything for free, as I was doing, as many forget. But nobody can give back my time now, and I'm not crying about it, I'm just saying real situation. So, as it's said here, time is valuable a lot and we should know that and share that knowledge with others, wake them up from their dreams, or probably nightmares.

Thanks @adsactly for sharing knowledge! Much appreciated!

Hola @adsactly
Interesante todo lo planteado por tí en esta serie.
¿Que hay de los mercaderes de hoy?
Sencillamente; crear la necesidad en el hombre de comprar cosas vanales y con obsolencias programadas para mantener cautivo el mercado. Apoderarse de los ahorros del ciudadano de a pie y crear o mantener grandes masas monetarias y aparecer en la Revista Forbes dentro del Ranking de los 100 o 500 más adinerados del mundo.
Te seguiré leyendo y dando mi humilde opinión.
Saludos
