This is something I wish someone had told me when I was younger. Anyway I hope it helps you. Think about it deeply for it is deep.

The salary you get is your seed and not your harvest.

The people who learn and understand this principle early end up rich and freedom.

BBI will solve it :)

Someone else need to show you where& how to plant the seed and tender it. I knew that and I wanted to be employed for 6 yrs but this's my 21st yrsmile.

Found that out about 14 months after I started working. I can attest that the difference between those two perspectives counts for so much.
Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.

Absolutely true for those with an entrepreneurial spirit / the self-employed. But if you're in employ, make sure your boss doesn't read Wazua as he might no longer believe you're dedicated to your job (you're not: your passion is elsewhere)... ;-)

Even your boss knows he pays you the minimum to make the maximum out of you. That's the rule of employment.

@2012. it's called exploitation.

Good advice. This august I will be doing 2yrs of employment and I also realized (around 14th month) that Salary is actually meant to be 'seed'.

Putting myself together and i'm doing sth about it. Already.

Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

- If you put hopes in the creation, they will disappoint you.
- If you put hopes in your boss to give you a raise, then it won't happen.

Another principle I learnt: Always work for God. Look at it as fulfilling his commandment. That way work becomes easier, you'll enjoy doing your best, you don't need to please no man and the best part is the reward which is way greater than your pay will come from God Almighty. I hope this makes sense.

You will never work for anyone and be happy, even Richard Branson.

BBI will solve it :)
