"WHAT IS A SALARY?"
AUTHOR: MR. ERIC WIREKO (EDUCATIONIST, TEACHER)
- A salary is a bribe for one to forget their ambition.
Research has it that the poorest group of people in the world are the salary earner's group, which is practically next to beggars' group.
They live in a vicious cycle of poverty, managed on a 30-day duration while their freedom and opinions totally gone.
For them, salary is continuously being awaited every month, and any slight delay brings heartbreaking anxiety, pressure and disappointment.... That is the reasons many steal to survive.
Salary is a short-term solution to a life time problem. Salary alone cannot solve your money problems.
You need multiple sources of income to balance.
The tax return form contains about 11 income streams, of which salary is just one.
Don't live life fishing with just one hook; there are many fishes in the ocean.
Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not for CURING it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT cures poverty.
Most investors are not salary earners.
The difference between those beggars on the street and salary earners is one month salary.
Truncate the flow of their salary for one month and you would realize that majority of them are pure paupers.
If you divide your salary by the rate of exchange, you will discover that you are poorer, relative to when you started work; or divide your salary per annum by 2,000 on hours to know what your one hour is worth.
If you do not have 3 months salary in savings, you are already poor.
Being a salary earner is a mentality, break It!
Your worth is far more than your salary.
Salary is the value someone has put on your efforts.
How much do you value yourself?
You can't increase in value, unless you value yourself differently.
Life is a trade off between time, effort and reward.
To be rewarded more, you have to become more valuable.
Most salary earners end up poor in the long and short term. I therefore urge every one of us to be FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT, FINANCIALLY LITERATE, and OPEN OUR EYES TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES IN PROBLEMS.
Delve into entrepreneurship because salary is a lifetime disappointment.
Being a salary earner or investor is a decision.
Life will not change until you decide.
Make the move!
