The World Outside An Ivory Tower




Most of the times, students live in a surreal world, a world of make belief, a world where all they need to make it in life is a Certificate and so they struggle hard to acquire the Certificate to the detriment of being educated.

However when they are out of School and enter the real World, they find out that success is not dependent on their Certificates.

In the real world outside of academics, something much more than just school grades and First Class Degree is required.

Some call it "guts", "balls", "audacity", "tenacity" and brilliance. This factor, whatever it is labelled, ultimately decides one's future much more than school grades.

Often in the real world, it's not the smart that gets ahead but the bold.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people.

We meet them everyday.

They are all around us.

 I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.

That's why Solomon in all his wisdom said in Ecclesiastes 9 vs 11 and l quote from King James Version " I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all".

The world is filled with talented poor people.

All too often, they are poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not because of what they know but because of what they don't know.

We focus on perfecting our skills instead of diversifying.

Overspecialization is what caused the need for union protection.

The more specialized you become, the more you are trapped and dependent on that specialty.

Let us diversify our knowledge, diversification is better than overspecialization.

And if you are interested in diversifying your Personal Economy, we are here to advise and assist you.

Is Money Evil?

  Is Money Evil? Some people in order to justify their state of   persistent lack, penury and deprivation deliberately and misleadingly misquote the Bible verse that talks about money and evil. Instead of stating as the Bible stated that "it is the love of money that is the root of all evil" they rather state their own version that "money is evil" They refuse to remember that the Scriptures also say that "money is a defence" and that "money answereth all things" But is money really evil? Definitely not Money and the ownership of it in quantum is the best thing that can happen to any man or woman as a matter of fact. Without money, a man becomes ball-less shooting only colloids without substance, having a mouth but no voice, having eyes but no sight and generally living a life of a sitting duck filled with bitterness and angst against the World and those who have money. So, money on its own is not evil - it is only a means

2 Traps People Fall Into

Two Common Wealth Traps 99% O f People Fall Into By: Mark Ford No. 1: The Trap of the “Regular Employee” Are you a Medical Doctor, Lawyer, or other professional? How about a salaried employee? If so, you’re in a trap. And you’ll never get out unless you listen up right now. Here’s what I mean… At the end of the day, you are charging for your time. And if you want to make more money, there are only two ways to do it: Charge more per hour (though not too much more, or you risk sounding ridiculous and worse, getting replaced). Work more hours (though there are only so many hours you can work and still have a life). As you improve your skills or stay long enough with the company, you may earn more for every hour you work. Eventually, you might even earn a couple hundred thousand per year. To earn that money, you will have to work very hard. Often, that means 10- to 14-hour workdays. If you’re a salaried employee or you have a job th

Did You Take A Vow Of Poverty?

It is not always that we know just exactly what we are up to, sometimes our emotions control us to the extent that we can do what we don't want to do just when it is quite inconvenient. That is how the game of poverty is like A lot of People want to be RICH, a lot of People want to be WEALTHY, every child wants to be an adult of means, able to buy whatever s/he likes, able to travel the World and not to know a life of lack and deprivation; yet as we mature from childhood to adulthood, we slowly lose those dreams of ours and begin to conform ourselves to what is confronting us. We get schooled without being educated And even after Schooling, if we are lucky to find a job, it is one that we love to hate because it is never bringing in enough money to sort out our life challenges. We earn just to survive We are far from really living the life that we are born to live. And so we continue to struggle, living from day to day, from hand to mouth,
