Riding on the subway, during the peak hours this morning, into Manhattan, I could not help but think about what all these people (where do they come from?) are doing, jamming into the subway, on their way to work. Every morning, religiously, they would do this day after day - almost like lemmings.
It is quite surreal because I was in that position once. I remember it distinctly - sick or well, happy or sad, depressed or delirious, rain, shine or snow, I would hop on the subway to work. I would bust my chops to do what it takes to be recognized and get promoter for a better paying position. It worked but at what cost?
While reflecting, I realized there will always be people, the majority ninety five percent of the people sweating it out for a paycheck. It is almost like we are addicted to it, working to make the top five percent of the population wealthy.
Knowing what I know now, I would never go back to such a life!
I now work for myself as an IT consultant. My work schedule is more flexible and I also have an online business, with a global presence, as a shop consultant. It is this business that is giving me tremendous hope for a future free from financial worries and complete time independence.
It is a future I look forward to sharing with family and friends.
